Itinerary
17:30: Pick up at your hotel to star the trip. 18:30: You will enjoy the unique art of a water-puppet show, a traditional art form closely connected with the long-standing spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. It is performed in a pool of water, with the water surface acting as the stage. The puppeteers will stand behind a screen and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanisms which are hidden beneath the water surface. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra will provides background music accompaniment, and singers with origins in north Vietnam will sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets ( are carved out of wood). Although the authentic shows are exclusively in Vietnamese, the tales depict rural life in villages and offer a colorful way to enjoy an ancient tradition.
19:15: Continue to the harbor by cyclos for a dinner cruise, enjoy the city light & panomic views of HCM city. Enjoy sumptous Vietnamese cuisine on the magical dinner cruise aboard a traditional style boat. 21:30: End the trip.

The Independence Palace preserves its rooms as they were at the end of the war, and the War Remnants Museum tells the story of the conflict with sobering directness.
