Tuong performance entrances international visitors

Danang’s Nguyen Hien Dinh Tuong classical drama theatre and the Saigontourist travel agency put on a special show to welcome foreign cruise ship passengers.
36 visitors from the SuperStar Aquarius operated by Star Cruises, Malaysia were taken to the Nguyen Hien Dinh theatre on 25 November. The charming Quang Tuong excerpts, the fascinating Apsara dances and a monochord solo left deep impressions.
The return of this cruise ship after a two-year absence is a positive sign for Da Nang’s tourism sector. ​​18 cruise ships visited Viet Nam in December. It is expected that about 190,000 cruising tourists monthly in the first three months of 2012 will visit Ha Long Bay, Da Nang, Hoi An, and Hue. Mainly from from China, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea they will stay at each place from 1 to 4 days and will join tours to learn about Viet Nam’s cultural history and the daily life and special foods of the local people.
Da Nang has to continue finding products like the Tuong theatre performance to enrich its cultural attractions.
