It provides a unique complement to the quiet charm of the UNESCO-listed Ancient Town.
I. The Core Attraction: Hoi An Memories Show
The centerpiece of the complex is the renowned Hoi An Memories Show (Ky Uc Hoi An). It holds the distinction of being the world’s largest outdoor show, featuring over 500 performers on a 25,000 square meter stage.
The Narrative: The show dramatically recounts Hoi An’s transformation from a serene, small farming village into the bustling international trading port known as Faifo. It divides the story into five acts: Life, The Wedding, Ships and Sea, The Shore, and The Ao Dai.
The Production: Performers utilize the traditional Vietnamese Ao Dai costume alongside spectacular modern staging techniques, elaborate lighting, water effects, and elegant audio. The visual narrative unfolds without dialogue, allowing the music and powerful imagery to convey the deep emotional and historical context.
Show Schedule: The main show runs nightly, typically starting at 8:00 PM and lasting for one hour. Please note that the park is usually closed on Tuesdays.
II. Hoi An Impression Theme Park
Before the main spectacle, guests explore the Hoi An Impression Theme Park, an interactive village that recreates the life and architecture of 16th and 17th-century Hoi An.
Cultural Zones: The park features distinct areas, including Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese villages, reflecting the city’s role as a meeting point for diverse cultures.
Mini-Shows and Activities: Throughout the evening, interactive folk performances and mini-shows pop up in different corners. Visitors enjoy traditional games and learn crafts like lantern-making, pottery, and loom weaving from local artisans.
