Enjoy an evening of culture by attending a traditional performance. In Ho Chi Minh City, the spectacular AO Show Saigon Opera House is a popular choice, blending acrobatics, dance, theatrical visuals, and traditional music to depict Vietnamese life and culture in a contemporary style. It's often compared to Cirque du Soleil but with a distinct Vietnamese flavour.

Another option is the Water Puppet Show HCMC. While more famously associated with Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City also has venues like the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater offering this unique traditional Vietnamese art form, depicting rural legends and scenes with puppets on a water stage, accompanied by live music. Both offer great things to do Ho Chi Minh City evening.
