Even though it was the 8th time he came to "Hoi An Memories", To Thai Hung (Travel Blogger To Di Dau) still couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the heroic and tragic historical story of Vietnam in general and Hoi An in particular. "If you have set foot in Hoi An, you should not miss this largest live performance in the world!", To Di Dau shared.
Travel Blogger To Di Dau has seen the show for the 8th time but is still ecstatic over the most beautiful live performance in the world - Hoi An Memories.
Hoi An memories appear more vivid than ever
The Hoi An Memories show is told in many artistic languages such as dance, light, sound, music combined with modern props and technology to create a spectacular, lively and emotional performance. Through 60 minutes of performance by 500 dancers, Hoi An Memories takes visitors back to the period of land reclamation and settlement, along with the cultural beauty of the Vietnamese people in general and the people of Hoi An in particular.
Although he has watched many similar programs in other countries, To Di Dau cannot help but exclaim with pride when mentioning Hoi An Memories: "It feels so proud to see the cultural beauty, to listen to the heroic historical stories of the nation. All are expressed through the performances of talented artists with elaborate preparation, the performance is so meticulous that it is sublime". Hoi An Memories has truly touched his heart, as well as the foreign friends and overseas Vietnamese who followed To Di Dau to watch the show.
The show was performed on a 25,000 m2 stage, the largest outdoor stage in Vietnam, with the natural setting of an island in the middle of the Thu Bon River.
"Hoi An Memories" opens with the image of a girl weaving cloth for 60 minutes without stopping, in the daily living space of Hoi An people. Act 2 presents an interesting fairy tale world based on the idea of Princess Huyen Tran's wedding, recreating the Champa period realistically and vividly. Next is the love story of a couple separated by love, cleverly interwoven into the life of Hoi An fishermen. Act 4 recreates the atmosphere of Hoi An during the prosperous period of the famous trading port throughout Southeast Asia. Closing the 60-minute live show is a performance of traditional Ao Dai in an ancient architectural space.
With meticulous staging, elaborate preparation and the sublime performance of 500 actors, the show brings indescribable emotions to visitors.
ENJOY THE SHOW WITH THESE TIPS
"If you come to Hoi An, you should definitely go see this show. Although the price is a bit high, in return you get the opportunity to enjoy a valuable performance," To Di Dau said.
He added that visitors who choose the HIGH and VIP rows will have a wider view of the stage; while those who sit in the ECO row will have a closer view of the dancers. If you have limited vision, the ECO row is the right choice for you.
Ticket prices are divided into 3 classes: ECO (600,000 VND/adult ticket; 150,000 VND/child ticket), HIGH (750,000 VND/adult ticket; 300,000 VND/child ticket), VIP (1,020,000 VND/adult ticket; 510,000 VND/child ticket). You can use ticket booking applications through platforms such as Traveloka or Klook to receive more incentives.
You should come early to see the surrounding scenery and have the opportunity to choose a good seat.
Hoi An Memories still takes place regularly every night of the week except Tuesday. The show starts at 20:00, but the doors open to visitors before that. You can go to Hoi An Impression Theme Park early to get a good position, and then walk around to see the show before the show starts.
To Di Dau also noted: "Usually people skip taking and reading the information in the brochure at the ticketing area. But this is the way to understand more about the performances in the show, helping you enjoy the moments more fully."
You can also prepare some snacks or drinks. If it rains, don't worry, the staff will bring you raincoats. The show will still go on even if it rains.
