Experience the soul of Northern Vietnam with a performance of Water Puppetry, an art form dating back to the 11th century. These hand-carved puppets glide across the water to the rhythmic melodies of a traditional orchestra, bringing ancient folk tales and rural life to the stage. For a true taste of the capital, savor Cha Ca, Hanoi’s signature delicacy. This turmeric-infused white fish, sizzled with fresh dill and spring onions, is served alongside soft rice noodles and a hint of saffron oil. End your evening wandering through the Old Quarter, where a labyrinth of historic alleys reveals a vibrant, intimate atmosphere that captures the timeless charm of Hanoi.
