The Quintessence of Tonkin is located away from the hustle and bustle of central Hanoi in the Quoc Oai district, just over 20 kilometers west of the city. In the tranquil countryside, with the Thay Mountain as the backdrop, the spectacle draws inspiration from the Thay Pagoda in nearby Sai Son village — one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Vietnam — and which you are encouraged to visit. The stage is large enough to accommodate all 250 performers at once and is permanently submerged under 10 centimeters of water. This allows for unique theatrical displays and provides an unusual canvas for Vietnam’s more striking cultural treasures, such as water puppetry and dragon boat racing, to be creatively portrayed. Tonkin Show is a long story that tells about the length of Vietnam's history, gets through the history mark, and shows Vietnam's old life, Vietnam art, and Vietnamese festival and religious life.

Each performance night, the show always offers a shuttle bus (a big modern 45-seat bus) for the audience and it starts at 4.30 p.m -5.00 p.m. from Grand plaza hotel (117 Tran Duy Hung, Hanoi).
