What a lovely thing. Just go there, even if you don't understand much of the traditional Vietnamese music. Already the puppets are so cute. A fine piece of craftsmanship.

The puppet theatre in Hanoi attracts many tourists. It is quite nice to look at, but admission is required

Hiking

The traditional Vietnamese water puppet theater. Once practiced as entertainment in rural areas, it is now a cultural institution. A must-see when visiting Hanoi.
