The Nguyen Xa water puppetry tradition in Hung Yen Province has been officially recognised as a national intangible cultural heritage. In recent years, this unique art form has been introduced into school curricula, enabling pupils to study and experience the craft first-hand.

Lovers of traditional water puppetry can now visit to No.23 Phan Dinh Phung Street, Ha Noi, to enjoy lively performances that embody the culture of wet-rice farming in the Red River Delta.

Madam Ngo Phuong Ly, spouse of General Secretary of the Communist Party of Viet Nam Central Committee To Lam, and Madam Lis Cuesta Peraza, spouse of First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba Central Committee and President of Cuba Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez, enjoyed a traditional water puppet performance and visited Ngoc Son Temple in Ha Noi on September 1.
