Asia of recent times has seen some major advancements and innovations when it comes the concept of a theme park, blending aspects of other attractions such as national parks and museums to create truly unique experiences. One such example that is regularly overlooked today is the Cambodian Cultural Centre, a one-stop destination that allows any visitor to experience the full expanse of the country’s culture and history. Opened to the public in 2003, the theme park that encapsulates an area of just over two hundred thousand square meters is divided into thirteen unique villages, with each of them being reminiscent of a unique ethnic and cultural heritage.
The park is located within six kilometres from the town of Siem Reap, and of extremely close proximity to the airport. If one is seeking an international visit to the locale, the theme park is sure to be a staple in Cambodia tour packages, especially those offered by entities in nearby South Asian countries such as Mackinnons Travels Sri Lanka. The park contains meticulously constructed miniature replicas of the most infamous landmarks and buildings in the country, and the thirteen villages that make up the park contain traditional performances that showcase the different cultures of Cambodia. The park also features two wax museums that showcase icons of past and present Cambodia, ranging from the early centuries until the present times. The personalities contained within the wax museums feature kings, queens, monks, ambassadors, movie stars and traditional dancers. There are also scenes of historical significance depicted in the wax museum, such as the construction of the ancient Angkor Wat temple by the Khmers, their way of life during the Angkorian period as well as breath-taking human figures and various paintings.
The Cambodian Cultural Centre is sure to be an experience like no other where one can have a great time while learning a great deal about one of the richest and diverse cultures on Earth, an experience anyone is sure to treasure.
