Hanoi lures tourists by cheo


Besides water puppetry, tourists to Hanoi can enjoy traditional cheo (traditional operetta) extracts, quan ho (love duets) and chau van.

 

 

To attract tourists, the Hanoi Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has designed a special traditional art program at Hanoi Cheo Theatre. It was introduced for the first time to travel firm representatives on June 8. The show is around 60 minute long, comprising typical folk art music of Vietnam like cheo, quan ho, ca tru, hat xam, chau van, martial arts, dan bau (mono-chord), and circus.

 

Luu Duc Ke, Hanoi tourist’s director, remarked that foreign tourists have only seen water puppetry in Hanoi. Visitors who stay for several days or return to the city a second time need new shows.

 

Ke praised the Hanoi Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s efforts, but recommended that the show should be changed a little in terms of costumes and actors.

 

Phan Duc Man, Kim Lien Tourism Company Chair, added that the content and length are appropriate, but items need to be more lively and the show needs to have exchanges between actors and the audience, Vietnam tours.

 

Some others proposed that the organizers need to pay more attention to translation and to print leaflets in various languages.

 

This show will be held at the Hanoi Cheo Theatre from 8mp everyday from June to December.
