2026 Summer Interactive Minishow Series: When Visitors Become Characters in Faifo’s Stories

Four special minishow series — Beauty Night, Recruitment, Hoi An in Many Colors, and Lotus Lanterns — each bring a distinct atmosphere, opening up a new journey through the heritage land and its many layers of memory.

Beauty Night: Where Interesting Encounters Begin

As the last rays of sunlight touch Phong Nguyet Lau, the beautiful ladies appear, bringing with them captivating stories and playful encounters. Fairy Ladies, Graceful Beauties, Hydrangea, and The Four Great Beauties each set the stage for little games and unexpected interactions between the performers and visitors.

A flower ball is tossed into the crowd. A surprise challenge is announced. A playful competition begins. And suddenly, one visitor finds themselves at the center of attention, surrounded by laughter and cheers.

At Beauty Night, the most exciting part is not simply watching the show, but the moment when a visitor is unexpectedly called into the spotlight. As cheers and laughter fill Phong Nguyet Lau, visitors realize they are no longer just spectators — they have become part of the celebration.

Recruitment: Step Into the Ranks of Faifo’s Warriors

The drums sound, and the call to arms begins. Warriors, Heroic Spirit, and Southern Charms bring visitors into the atmosphere of a military recruitment gathering in the bustling trading port.

Here, traditional martial arts are passed down, challenges unfold one after another, and the stage is no longer a boundary between performers and audience. Visitors can step into the ranks of Faifo’s warriors, join the characters and take on missions in an energetic and immersive experience.

Hoi An in Many Colors: Meet in a Multicolored Faifo

Amid a vibrant setting shaped by cultural exchange, merchants and artisans from across the region come together, bringing their dances, music and distinctive traditions to recreate a bustling, lively Faifo. Return to the Trading Port and The Port of Romantic Encounters bring this historic crossroads to life.

Join the flowing crowd, feel the festive atmosphere and step into the role of a Faifo resident. In that moment, visitors do more than admire an ancient trading port — they experience for themselves the vibrant rhythm of life during its prosperous era.

Lotus Lanterns: Holding on to a Moment of Peace

Leaving the lively festivities behind, Lotus Lake opens into a gentle and tranquil space. Three Lotus Dance, Heaven–Earth–Human, and Lanterns of Wishes draw inspiration from the lotus and the harmony between heaven, earth and humanity, telling their stories through movement and light.

Join the crowd, choose a lantern of your own, light it with a wish for peace and gently set it afloat on the lake. As countless lights shimmer across the water, they drift together with the flow of the heritage land, creating a quiet and deeply moving moment.

Four minishow series, four different ways to encounter Hoi An through an entirely new kind of experience.

When the journey comes to an end, some may remember the laughter at Phong Nguyet Lau, others the drums of the recruitment, the vivid colors of the trading port, or the glow of lanterns upon the water.

And perhaps, what stays with you the longest is the feeling of having truly been there — immersed in that space, that era, and those vivid stories of a remarkable time.
