How far is the venue from central Hanoi, and how do I get there?

The venue is around 40 km from the city centre — roughly an hour by road. The easiest option is to add a round-trip transfer at checkout, departing from either Imperial Citadel (pick-up 4:00–4:15 PM) or CharmVit Tower (pick-up 4:40–5:00 PM). If you prefer to travel independently, taxis or a hired car are the most practical choices.

What is the difference between Silver, Gold and Platinum seating?

The tiers reflect your position relative to the water stage — Platinum seats offer the closest, most central views, while Silver seats are further back. All seats have a clear sightline to the performance. Prices vary accordingly; select your preferred tier at checkout.

Is the show suitable for young children?

Yes. Children under 90 cm in height are admitted free of charge (one free child per paying adult). Children between 90 cm and 130 cm require a child ticket, and children above 130 cm require a full adult ticket.

What happens if it rains?

The show is open-air, so weather conditions can affect the performance. Check with the operator closer to your visit date if you have concerns about severe weather.

Is there a special offer for groups visiting in May 2026?

Yes — for every four guests booked on show dates between 21 and 31 May 2026, you receive one shared 'com que' hometown meal, including steamed rice, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables with garlic, and vegetable soup with minced pork.

Do I need to print my ticket?

A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted at the gate. A printed copy works equally well if you prefer it.
