Water Puppet Theater

In Hanoi, searching for "Water Puppet Theater" leads to a small temple at 64 Mã Mây in the Old Quarter of Hoàn Kiếm, not an actual performance venue. To see a water puppet show, go to Thang Long Water Puppet Theater near the lake, where restaurants and shops are clustered nearby. The Thang Long performance runs about an hour, with puppets moving to music and a person appearing at the end to greet the audience. The name on Google Maps causes confusion, so it is easy to waste a trip at the wrong place.
