Очень мельком просмотрела, там вход вроде бесплатный в храмы, но не вникала, на каких условиях.
Уважаемые модераторы, извините, если не туда сбросила, у меня вылет через несколько часов, спешка.
Angkor Sankranta is a giant four-day festival celebrating Khmer New Year. From April 13 – 16, parades, concerts and exhibitions transform the Angkor Archaeological Park into a hub of colourful and vibrant cultural activities.
Organised by the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia, the events are open to locals and foreigners alike. The festival aims to preserve art, culture, and traditions of the Khmer people. A temple pass is not required, unless you plan to combine your attendance with a visit to the temples.
This year marks the 6th edition of Angkor Sankranta. There is a blessing ceremony on April 12 at 7.45am in front of Angkor Wat to begin the festival’s programme of over 30 entertainment events. Festivities, which are all free of charge, are officially opened by Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany at a special ceremony on April 13.
There will be a traditional culture programme, art shows and events hosted by other Cambodian provinces such as Koh Kong, Kampong Thom, Kampong Speu, Prey Veng, Banteay Meanchey, Svay Rieng and Pursat. Each year, there is a Guinness world record attempt. This year, the aim is to display the longest ever Cambodian scarf, or krama, by GoGo Cambodia, an organisation promoting national pride, as well as hanging a giant Hanuman mask, part of a traditional Cambodian dance.
In addition, visitors can enjoy traditional dances, floating lanterns, archery, traditional Khmer games, bokator martial arts displays, classical theatre performances and a Cambodian produce trade fair.
