Ho Chi Minh City Local
If you're interested in the arts, a trip to this theater in District 1 is a must. Here, you can take in a water puppet show, which UNESCO recognizes for its intangible cultural heritage. These shows, accompanied by live music, tell Vietnamese folk stories with a bit of humor added in. Instead of a stage, you’ll watch the puppets glide across the surface of a four-meter pool.
