Water Puppet Show where puppets are performed on a water stage with folk music, presenting ancient tales, folklores, and daily life in the Vietnamese countryside.

Tu Phu (Four Palaces) Show - a very unique show about the ritual of spirit practiced in the Vietnamese indigenous religion with music, colors, and lively dance performance. The Four Palaces Shows take place on Thursday and Saturday every week.
