Play "King Hung teaches people to grow rice"

Artists from the provincial art troupe presented to visitors the play “King Hung teaches people to grow rice”. With elaborate staging, professional performances combining traditional music and skillful puppetry, they led the audience to a legendary story in the past when people did not know how to plow, grow rice to eat, only living on tree roots, wild game meat and many kinds of wild fruits and vegetables picked. The land along the riverbanks was enriched with alluvium each time the floodwaters rose. King Hung saw that the land was very good, so he called the people to find a way to build banks to keep the water. The king saw that wild rice was growing a lot, so he showed the people how to keep the seeds, sow the rice seedlings, and when the seedlings grew green, they could plant them in flooded fields. At first, people did not know how to plant, so they asked the king. King Hung pulled up the seedlings, brought them to the flooded fields, waded down to plant them for the people to see, and everyone followed.

Water puppet show attracts many tourists from all over the world
