About this audio guide
This guide to the Hoi An Memories show at Hoi An Impression Theme Park opens with a question: why does a marriage that lasted less than a year still get restaged nightly for thousands of strangers? It tells of Princess Huyen Tran, who sailed south in 1306 to marry King Che Man of the Cham kingdom, and the situation her household faced when the king died within the year, leaving her, by Cham custom, expected to join him on his funeral pyre. More than five hundred performers, mostly ordinary Hoi An residents trained from scratch, compress four centuries of the town's history into five acts staged on the river itself. Watch the water in front of you double as fishing fleet, trading crowd and harbor at night.
