The art of Bai Choi in Hoi An old Town, Vietnam

The art of Bai Choi (Vietnamese: Hát Bài Chòi) in Central Viet Nam is a diverse art combining music, poetry, acting, painting and literature. There are two main forms: Bai Choi games and Bai Choi performances. Bai Choi games involve a card game played in bamboo huts during the Tet holiday (Lunar New Year). In Bai Choi performances, male and female artists called Hieu perform on a sedge mat, either moving to and fro between places or on private occasions of families. The bearers and practitioners of Bai Choi are Mr. and Ms. Hieu, solo Bai Choi performers, card-making artisans.

The art of Bai Choi has long since been a cultural activity and entertainment in local communities. Performers and their families play an important role to protect this kind of art by teaching the skills of singing, performances and the way to make Bai Choi cards for young people.

Bai Choi is a unique tourism product of Hoi An city, making visitors feel pleased. The art of Bai Choi is an integral activity in important events in Hoi An, especially in New Year.

Visitors feel happy to win award.
