Crowded but unforgettable

Yes it's busy, but Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre is busy for a reason. Stay 1, 2 hours, bring small cash, and try the local food nearby.

Better than expected

Honestly thought Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre would be a tourist trap, but it really delivered. Highlight of our days in Hanoi.
