Description
The kingdom of Cambodia is rich in cultural heritages that our ancestors created and left for their later generations..
The tradition of kiteflying was set for entertainment as well as for the image of beliefs. In history, kiteflying ceremony is one of the royal "ceremonies of the twelve months".
Unfortunately, Cambodia was in bitter war for over two decades. The war killed millions of lives and destroyed cultural property. The tradition of kiteflying was not either functioning during those days.
The first kite events after the war were held in Phnom Penh on 31 Dec 1994 and 25 Dec 1996.
The festivals had great support from Cambodian people in cities as well as provinces.
