Originating from the northern villages of Vietnam in the 11th century, each performance of the Water Puppetry Show tells stories of traditional village life, history and folk tales, and is accompanied by traditional Vietnamese music and dance. Cha Ca is a local delicacy that has to be tried if you’re visiting Hanoi; this savoury white fish in boneless chunks is served alongside tasty greens, unlimited rice noodles and saffron-infused oils; a true taste of Hanoi! The city’s Old Quarter is the ideal place to finish your evening, where a network of alleys and stalls create a vibrant yet intimate atmosphere.
