> ## Cambodia welcomes Shaolin monks for Cambodia–China martial arts performance at Bayon Temple
Khmer Times
The Ministry of Tourism warmly welcomed the arrival of a delegation of 16 monks from Shaolin Temple of the People’s Republic of China.
Following high-level guidance from Huot Hak, officials from the Ministry of Tourism received the delegation on Monday, at the Techo International Airport when they arrived to prepare for the upcoming “Cambodia–China Martial Arts Performance.”
The cultural event is scheduled to begin at 7:00am, on Thursday, at the northern area of Bayon Temple in Siem Reap.
The event will feature spectacular performances showcasing traditional Khmer martial arts, including Kun Lbokator, Yuthkun Khom, and Kun Khmer, alongside renowned Chinese martial arts such as Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi.
Organisers expect more than 1,000 national and international guests to attend the event, which is open to the public with free admission.
I’m surprised to see this given what is happening at Shaolin Temple. Anyone recognize anyone in this photo?
