We watched the cultural performance at the Theatre at 11am. Do not miss the show as it is only twice per day, at 11 am and 4 pm. you can see all ethnics showing their lovely dance, and some bamboo shooting as well. if you are lucky, you will be 'forced' to dance as well. the dancers will select randomly and dance together with them. Energetic, and worth watching.
P/s: don;t forget to do ink tattoo (not permanent) :)
