3.2. Design inspiration from the art of “Water puppetry”

Not only impressing with its world-class underwater entertainment, Sun World Ha Nam also honors the art of water puppetry – a distinctive folk art form of the Red River Delta – by using it as the main inspiration for its architecture and landscape.

This Sun World architecture is a combination of traditional Vietnamese beauty and a modular animation style, creating a youthful, creative, and artistic whole.

Traditional cultural space with rich identity amidst the modern entertainment world

The park is divided into 7 main game areas, each with a name and inspiration from famous water puppet shows. For example, area number 2 recreates the image of the Four Linh (Dragon – Phoenix), two of the four sacred animals in Vietnamese folk beliefs, with a vivid simulation design of the Long and Phung animals. Area 3 features the theme “Boat racing”, recreating the scene of traditional festivals and also a familiar scene in many water puppet shows.

Area 4, with the theme “Thuy Dinh – Fairy Dance”, evokes the Northern style communal house – a familiar symbol of old puppet shows, located in a space filled with characteristic images such as banyan trees, cotton trees, brick yards, betel nuts, coconuts…, creating a familiar, close feeling typical of the Red River Delta.

Area 5 continues to be inspired by the “Four Linh” show, this time with the image of Quy and Lan; while area 6 explores the theme “Catching rats and catching ducks”, reflecting village life, associated with village ponds and the farming work of farmers in the past.

Not only the game areas, but also supporting items such as restaurants and service areas are also designed with a strong Vietnamese cultural identity. The overall project uses a color palette inspired by traditional lacquer paintings, combined with natural materials such as eggshells, seashells, gold leaf, creating an elegant yet close-to-nature feel. The main decorative motifs are taken from the image of water waves and dragon clouds, both graceful and soft, while honoring the beauty of Vietnamese folk art.

Sun World Ha Nam vividly recreates the image of familiar characters in water puppet shows.

At Sun World Ha Nam, the water puppet stage is harmoniously integrated into the park's overall design, serving as both a relaxing stopover and a "cultural gateway," transporting visitors from the vibrant amusement world to a traditional art space rich in cultural identity. This not only enriches the experience but also reflects the developer's dedication to preserving and recreating the nation's cultural heritage in the most approachable and vivid way for today's generation.

5.2. Ha Nam – One of the cradles of water puppetry art

Water puppetry is a traditional performing art form with a history of over 1,000 years, originating from the life of the people in the Red River Delta – an area with a dense network of rivers, where the flood season is closely linked to the cultural life of the villages. The wooden puppets, skillfully manipulated under the water, combined with folk music and graceful narration, have become a unique cultural symbol, recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.

Water puppetry – a distinctive Vietnamese folk performing art

If you visit Ha Nam, don’t miss the opportunity to explore the art of water puppetry – a unique cultural feature associated with the Red River Delta. Ha Nam is considered one of the most important cradles of this art form. Notably, at Long Doi Son Pagoda (Tien Son commune, Duy Tien town), the Sung Thien Dien Linh stele erected in 1121 during the reign of King Ly Nhan Tong, records the water puppet performances of the local people to celebrate the king’s longevity. This shows that water puppetry in Ha Nam flourished from the 11th century.

Through many ups and downs, Ha Nam was once famous for many puppet troupes, such as Noi Roi village, Chuong Luong village… Although some puppet troupes have disappeared today, the memory of water puppet festivals remains deep in the hearts of the people here. Researchers also confirm that from villages like Ha Nam, the art of water puppetry spread throughout the Red River Delta, becoming an indispensable part of the cultural life of the Vietnamese people in the rice-growing region. Visiting Ha Nam, you will feel the depth of history and the traditional beauty of this distinctive folk art form.
