Have you watched the Water Puppet Show before?
Like its name, the Water Puppet is a unique Vietnamese traditional art that uses handcrafted wooden characters to perform on a stage full of water. A large bamboo rod supports the puppet under the water and is used by the puppeteers. In the past, when the rice fields flooded, the villagers would entertain each other using this form of puppet play. Learn more: Hanoi tours
Water puppet performances tell stories about the daily life of Vietnamese farmers, communal entertainment (e.g., swimming contests, dragon dancing), or historical legends. A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides background music accompaniment with drums, wooden bells, bamboo flutes, and more. Today, the newer version of this show incorporates modern light and music with the combination between people and puppets.

Founder & Photography Guide
Specialties: Culture, landscape, portrait, hiking, active and adventurous tour
Besides my unlimited passion for traveling, a professional tour guide for over a decade, I have been taking photographs since sitting at Hanoi of the University of Culture in the early 2000s. Photography started as a hobby but it was seriously taken due to my work relations and my significant passion for the beauty of our world, especially in Southeast Asian parts such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar.
Within a few years of taking photographs, my works began to be recognized by many reliable international publications such as AFAR Travel, The Times, and The Daily Telegraph newspaper. In addition, I continuously add to my growing profile by winning numerous major awards: 3rd Position of The Independent Photographer 2018, 1st Position of Amateur Photographer of the year 2018, Grand Prize Winner of the AFAR Travel Photography 2019, and a Gold Award of San Francisco Bay International Photography 2020.
I photograph a wide variety of subjects, from travel to landscapes to street scenes. I enjoy documenting the East’s rich cultural heritage and its land soaked in glorious sunrise or sunset light in remote and secluded spots. And, I am very happy to share my knowledge and experience with you. You can visit Luminousvietnamtour to explore tour!
