The highlights of the park can be grouped into two main categories: the Grand Outdoor Show and the Themed Park Attractions/Mini-Shows.

1. The Grand Highlight: The Hoi An Memories Show

The park’s main feature is the spectacular Hoi An Memories Show, often described as Vietnam’s largest-scale outdoor visual art performance.

• Massive Production: Features over 500 performers on an enormous outdoor stage (about 25,000 sqm).

• Historical Narrative: The show takes the audience on a journey through 400 years of Hoi An’s history, from its beginnings as a tranquil farming village to its golden age as an international trading port, told through dance, music, stunning lighting, and water effects.

• Key Acts: It covers major historical episodes, including the arrival of early settlers, a royal union, the bustling trading port, and a segment celebrating the Ao Dai (Vietnamese traditional dress).

2. Themed Park Attractions and Mini-Shows

The park itself is an immersive experience that opens before the main show, with attractions and continuous smaller performances scattered throughout its themed areas:

Themed Villages and Zones:

• Vietnamese Village: Recreates a traditional countryside setting with rustic architecture, gardens, and demonstrations of traditional crafts like lantern making and conical hat weaving.

• Japanese Village: Features Japanese-inspired architecture, reflecting the large Japanese community that once resided in Hoi An. It hosts mini-shows like the Yosakoi Dance and features a Japanese-style garden.

• Chinese Village: Simulates the atmosphere of the Chinese merchant quarters, showcasing the Chinese-Vietnamese cultural fusion in architecture and cuisine.

• Commercial Zone: A lively recreation of the 17th-century trading port, complete with merchant stalls, ships, and performers reenacting trade scenarios with merchants from the East and West.

• Thien Duc Spiritual Area: A serene space with traditional architecture dedicated to spirituality and Vietnamese cultural values.

Interactive Mini-Shows:

Throughout the park in the evening (before the main show), there are numerous smaller, interactive performances that bring Vietnamese folklore and historical events to life. Popular examples include:

• Wedding Ceremony of Princess Ngoc Hoa: Reenacting the historical marriage between a Vietnamese princess and a Japanese merchant, symbolizing a strong diplomatic relationship.

• Love Story of the Silkworm Goddess: A romantic tale that also highlights the development of the silk industry in the region.

• Trai Ho Fighting the Tiger: A heroic tale about a local man fighting a tiger to protect his village.
