Ho Chi Minh My Village Show is a lively mosaic where the ancient Vietnamese village life is painted in contemporary stage language with enchanting folk melodies. Fishing, farming, traditional games, or family gathering are rendered with graceful stroke by marvelous acrobatics.

Peaceful rivers and spectacular mountains are portrayed by stunning bamboo transformations. Above all, the Vietnamese patriotism and bravery are expressed throughout the art performance.

The name ‘A O’ derives from ‘Lang Pho’, which means ‘village and city’. The show depicts the charming beauty and cultural richness of Vietnamese life in the countryside, in contrast with the nation’s racing urbanization. The show is a unique mix of bamboo circus, acrobatic acts, dance, and theatrical visual art.

The live music echoes Vietnamese Southern work songs. All in all, this beautiful blend of genres creates a unique stage language, which well captures the essence of Vietnam’s fascinating culture.

Chau Doc - home of many Kinh (Vietnam’s ethnic majority), Khmer, Cham and Chinese people is only a few kilometers from the Cambodian border and located on the Hau diffluence (Bassac River). There is lively boat traffic on the river and also an impressive floating market. The street market is worth a visit too. One of the pleasures of visiting Chau Doc is simply walking around; the river bank is a popular spot. Locals are a little shy but may talk to you as you walk. Chau Doc may be a little city, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in colours and is probably the only place where pastel colours are chosen to beautify store fronts.
