Hoi An Memories Show

On a chilly night after we ate a delicious dinner at Phan Gai restaurant we got our tickets for the Hoi An Memories Show and crossed a colourful (LIGHT UP) bridge to Hoi An Memories Land, which is called that because the memory show is performed there. Once we had crossed the bridge we went through a theme park with shops and walkways. It was a beautiful place sand there was also a “shouting fountain” that you yell at - the louder you yelled, the higher the water would go!

The show was about the history of Hoi An and there were five unique acts explaining different significant events in their culture and history. The show also had many actors and dancers, about 500 people in all. The dancers used different props, sometimes they danced with water and once they even danced with fire. It was a wonderful show with everybody in beautiful traditional Vietnamese costumes.

Once the wonderful show was over we walked out through a lit up tunnel, there are lights and lanterns everywhere in Hoi An. In Vietnam, lanterns are symbols of good luck, health, prosperity and fortune. There are also many floating lanterns which connect to ancestral spirits. When we were close to the bridge we saw a tree but instead of leaves this tree had lanterns many, many, different colored lanterns! The tree, like so much of the Hoi An area was beautiful - we are so lucky to visit this place.
