1. HOI AN MEMORIES SHOW (Ký ức Hội An)
Located in the middle of the poetic Hoai River, Hoi An Memories Show has become a symbol of this island and Hoi An in general. The show was first performed on March 18, 2018 and is known as one of the largest live art performances in the world.
Taking the idea of the traditional Vietnamese ao dai as the main language, combined with modern stage staging techniques, Hoi An Memories has taken viewers back in time to Hoi An in the 16th – 17th centuries to witness the ups and downs of Hoi An throughout 400 years of history – a place of cultural exchange, a connecting point of Vietnam to the legendary maritime silk road. The content is divided into 5 acts throughout the 60-minute performance, with the narrator being a weaver girl, leading viewers back to historical moments and love stories associated with the land of Quang Nam more than four centuries ago with its prosperity and charm. In addition, the show also exudes the spirit of solidarity and admirable patriotism of Princess Huyen Tran when she married the King of Champa, Che Man, for a great cause. The show also depicts the bustling trading scene of the bustling Faifo port and the image of a Hoi An that, despite many ups and downs, still retains the appearance of a peaceful and poetic land. The show takes place at 8:00pm every day of the week (except Tuesday) at Hoi An Impression Theme Park on Hoi An Memory Island, located in the most prime location – in the heart of Hoi An ancient town called Con Hen (200 Nguyen Tri Phuong, Cam Nam, Hoi An) – a wonder on the Hoai River heritage.

2. PALAO SHOW
“Palao” – a word in Cham language, behind it is the meaning of letting go, drifting to welcome new things. Cham Pa – an ethnic group with its own culture and language. Every time a big boat sets sail, when a young person is born, or when sending a living being off to a new path, the ChamPa people often utter the short word “palao” but full of love.
“Palao” is not only a word, but also a spirit, a philosophy of life imbued with Cham culture. In the show, the sounds of traditional musical instruments such as Ginseng, Paranung, Saranai, Kanhi, and conch horns are uniquely combined with the boldness of musical instruments created from everyday objects of the Cham people. Accordingly, when enjoying the Palao show, visitors will explore the world of the Cham people with a contemporary breath, admire the life of the Cham Pa impressively recreated through intense and equally emotional dances, and feel the Palao spirit through each sound of ancient ceremonial musical instruments harmonized in a completely new way. This is a special cultural experience in Hoi An, bringing visitors moments of discovery and profound experience of the cultural heritage of the Vietnamese people.
