Chinese, Cambodian artists on stage at Walking Street in Phnom Penh
PHNOM PENH: Chinese and Cambodian artists jointly performed at the pedestrianised Walking Street in Phnom Penh on Saturday evening (May 24), attracting crowds of spectators.
Cambodian Tourism Minister Huot Hak and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Wang Wenbin were among the crowds watching the show.
During the one-hour performance, the artists entertained strollers along the riverside Sisowath Quay with a variety of performance arts, including traditional music, dance and acrobatics, among others.
The cultural show was part of a three-day event to mark the official launch of Cambodia-China Tourism Year 2025, which kicked off on Friday.
Kun Srey Mol, a 25-year-old spectator, said the show not only promoted the tourism sector, but also deepened cultural ties and people-to-people bonds between Cambodia and China.
"It's unique and fascinating, and I have never seen such a show before," she told Xinhua. "I really enjoyed this performance because they performed well, and their gestures synchronised with the music."
Chhann Lyly, 25, said the joint cultural event has created a memorable experience for the audience.
"I'm really happy to see it because it is really amazing," she told Xinhua. "I believe that the Cambodia-China Tourism Year 2025 will bring more Chinese tourists and investors to Cambodia." - Xinhua

China's hassle-free marriage rule fuels travel, consumption
A couple holds a destination wedding in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province, May 10, 2025.(Xinhua) BEIJING (June 11): On Tuesday morning, Yang Min and his bride, He Xingyue, registered their marriage at the lakeside of Erhai, hundreds of miles away from their home in southwest China's Yunnan Province. The date of May 20 holds a special significance in China, as its Chinese pronunciation '520' resembles the phrase 'wo ai ni,' meaning 'I love you.' It is a peak time for marriage registrations, seeing long lines at marriage registries nationwide. With China scrapping household registration rules for marriages earlier this month, couples are embracing a new 'wedding plus travel' trend, merging their nuptials with vacation getaways. 'Since the marriage registration has become so much easier, we decided to get married where we first met,' said Yang, from Kunming, the provincial capital of Yunnan. Their park-style registry is located on a peninsula at Erhai Lake, where a group wedding ceremony was held Tuesday morning in the Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Dali, also in Yunnan. Yang added that following the wedding ceremony, the couple will spend a few days in Dali as a honeymoon. The latest hassle-free marriage rule has made cross-region marriage registration more convenient, especially for those working outside their hometowns. According to a national population census in 2020, China's mobile population reached 376 million, including 125 million interprovincial migrants.

To attract more lovebirds to arrange their weddings there to boost the consumption economy, places across the country have taken various measures. Yunnan, a hot tourist destination known for its breathtaking landscape views, rich ethnic cultures and cuisines, has set up 114 park-style marriage registries, offering one-stop services for marriage registrations, wedding ceremonies and honeymoon tours. Chengdu, capital of the neighboring Sichuan Province, has moved a marriage registry to a snowy mountaintop at an altitude of 3,250 meters for marriage registration services, the highest spot in the city. Sayram Lake, a scenic area in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, offers free lifetime entrance to couples who register their marriage there, making it an even more appealing destination for newlyweds to tie the knot. Liang Sen, a native of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and his girlfriend Wang Mingyi, from Jilin Province in northeast China, recently drove over 10,000 km from Jilin to Sayram Lake for marriage registration. 'Both of us love traveling. The new marriage policy grants us the convenience and a special wedding,' said Liang, adding that their experience of tasting local snacks, climbing the Great Wall and snow-capped mountains on the way became their romantic memory. The booming destination weddings have stimulated businesses of various kinds, such as photography.

'Many young couples seek both a sense of ceremony and cost-effectiveness. They're willing to spend a few hundred yuan to document this special moment,' she said. Zhao Canhui, head of the destination wedding branch of Dali's tourism association, said that young people today hold more diverse interpretations of romance, driving the emergence of popular wedding destinations. He noted that these innovative marriage registration models reflect both consumption upgrades following policy relaxation and young people's redefinition of wedding ceremonies, making the 'sweet economy' a new growth engine. – Xinhua China marriage travel wedding

Declining popularity of karaoke among youth reveals China's evolving social soundtrack
Live host Li Quan interacts with the audience at the 'Sunset Party' in Jiangjunshan International Ski Resort in Altay, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Jan. 28, 2025. (Xinhua/Hu Huhu) BEIJING (June 11): The neon-lit karaoke parlors that dot Chinese cities were once a top choice among the country's exuberant youth for birthday parties, dates, celebrations, or simply relaxation. Singing in an elaborate private karaoke room, reading lyrics from a high-definition television, and hearing your voice and sentiment vented through speakers — that was a highly sought-after, youthful experience one to two decades ago. Today, it's a different story. In recent years, the appeal of karaoke has seemingly waned. Some discussions of this change have resonated deeply with many on social media platforms. A hashtag on microblogging platform Weibo — 'Why don't young people go to KTV anymore?' — was posted last week and has almost hit 10 million reads. Under this and similar tags are a myriad of comments, from complaints about the tedium of sitting in a box for long hours to expressions of preference for other entertainment forms, indicating the ebbing popularity of what was once the height of entertainment among China's youth. The market tells the same story. Meituan, a leading life services provider in China, reported a significant decline in numbers of both KTV outlets and young KTV-goers since 2023. It cannot be denied that the country's three-year pandemic response took its toll on some indoor venues. Karaoke venues have been active in adapting to these changes, revamping their appearances and shifting business strategies to lure more middle-aged and elderly customers. And the karaoke phenomenon reflects deeper transformations in how Chinese people socialize and amuse themselves in line with the progress of the times. OUT OF DATE? Karaoke was introduced to China as early as the 1980s and later evolved into Karaoke Television (KTV), featuring private boxes and professional vocal devices. KTV gained sweeping popularity among Chinese people from the 1990s. At a time with few entertainment options and without a colorful nightlife, singing solo or with friends became the top leisure activity choice. Today, Chinese youth have easy access to more affordable and attractive alternatives. Don't like singing in front of others? Consider downloading a smartphone karaoke app instead. Still obsessed with singing? Go to a live performance. Beyond the music arena, young people are voting with their wallets for fundamentally different social experiences. Though private karaoke rooms were once a sanctuary for social bonding, more immersive and interactive activities like escape rooms, board games and murder mystery games have risen to dominance. 'I would rather split 199 yuan (about 27.67 U.S. dollars) for an all-night gaming session with my friends than pay 98 yuan for a monotonous KTV package,' one comment on Weibo reads. Entertainment industry analyst Chen Yu observed a mismatch between KTV entertainment and youth's social needs. More and more young people are feeling the unequal levels of involvement at KTV, Chen said. Some sing well and others love to drink, but the rest are merely paid audience members. Turning their backs on these social engagement rules, today's young people are more inclined toward entertainment activities that involve continuous, individualized and participatory interaction. For example, script murder games can provide sustained engagement for as long as three hours. 'There are more kinds of fun and challenges when playing script games, bringing more exchanges of thoughts, so we learn more about each other. That's the real point of socializing for me,' Kan Lingxiao, a devoted player of such games who studies at the Communication University of China, told Xinhua. To cater to these tastes, a franchise KTV brand in Beijing has upgraded its devices with augmented reality (AR) technology, creating virtual stages on which customers can sing alongside their favorite musicians. And a KTV club in Shanghai has managed to attract three times more bookings by integrating singing with script games. Experts suggest that young people are eager to show off their personalities, and activities focusing more on personal sentiment can satisfy their social needs. THE SHOW GOES ON Adapting to different strokes for different folks, the story of karaoke does not end as tastes move on. It goes on to include an even broader clientele, reflecting China's evolving social lifestyles. In Beijing, energetic retirees can often be found occupying daytime slots at karaoke venues, transforming what were once nocturnal youth spaces into vibrant senior community centers for singing, chatting and feasting on delicacies. Huang, an elderly amateur singer, traveled on a bus for about three hours to attend a recent gathering with her old colleagues at a KTV parlor. The oldest member of her group was 76 years old. The moment they settled in their KTV room, Huang was eager to sing her favorite songs, which range from the classic hits of Dao Lang, a pop singer who rose to stardom roughly two decades ago, to the releases of pop singer Jay Chou, who is an icon to many born after 1990. For many seniors like Huang, singing represents nostalgia to some extent, having witnessed the rise and subsequent boom of KTV. After retirement, it becomes more of a key social lifeline. Singing, dancing, traveling — how one amuses oneself grows with age. An industrial report from Meituan shows that in 2023, the number of KTV-goers above the age of 55 increased 37 percent year on year. China had more than 300 million elderly people aged 60 or above by the end of 2024. Covered by the world's largest medical security network and with stable pensions, retirees have expanding social needs and are willing to spend money on them. It is projected that by 2030, the education, culture and entertainment consumption market for the elderly will reach 11 trillion yuan. Tapping into this potential, many KTV bars are attempting to entice more senior customers. 'We launched discount and promotional activities to attract more elderly people — not just for profits, but more for wider popularity,' a customer service representative of a KTV salon in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou said. He revealed that from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, nearly 80 percent of the venue's patrons are retired elderly people, who can sing for hours and enjoy buffet foods for an average of about 40 yuan per person. 'We meet every week to sing for about half the day. With a VIP card, it costs me 66 yuan each time. It's very cost-effective,' according to one member of an elderly choir in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province. Karaoke venues also consider the specific needs of elderly customers, such as expanded lists of songs they are familiar with and assistance with technology. 'KTV will not fade out as an entertainment form,' another Weibo comment reads. 'Just as vintage record players can always be found by collectors, KTV will become a symbol of a nostalgic culture.' – Xinhua China culture entertainment karaoke youth

From rides to learning: Thai elephant camps reinvent themselves to survive
BANGKOK: Thailand's renowned elephant camps are battling to survive as the country's economic downturn and dwindling tourist numbers threaten their very existence. These iconic attractions, particularly concentrated in Chiang Mai province, are being forced to dramatically reinvent themselves to keep both elephants and staff alive. Mae Taeng Elephant Park, one of the region's most established camps, exemplifies the struggle facing the industry. - Photo: The Nation/ANN The facility has responded by expanding its educational arm, "Hug Elephant," which has been operating for a decade alongside traditional elephant riding and shows. "We've had to completely rethink our approach," explains Thanabhumi Asoketrakoon, corporate communications manager at Mae Taeng Elephant Park. "The traditional model simply isn't sustainable in the current climate. Educational tourism takes centre stage The camp's educational programme offers visitors a five-station experience priced at 1,650 baht, including mahout clothing. Guests learn about elephant care whilst participating in activities such as preparing health supplements, making herbal soap, feeding, and bathing the animals. The programme features carefully selected elephants comfortable with human interaction, including Phu Pink, a young elephant celebrity with 150,000 social media followers who once participated in a challenge with Jackson Wang. "We focus on education rather than entertainment," Thanabhumi notes. "Visitors dress as mahouts and learn about elephant behaviour, diet, and care practices." Multiple crises compound challenges The industry faces a perfect storm of challenges that have devastated visitor numbers: Natural Disasters: Flooding in October and earthquakes reduced tourist arrivals by 50 per cent. Seasonal Variations: Peak season runs from October to March, with September being particularly challenging—dubbed the "month of hunger" by operators and guides. Economic Pressures: Poor economic conditions mean fewer people can afford leisure travel. Haze Pollution: Annual air quality issues, though this year's early rains provided relief. Covid-19 Legacy: The pandemic nearly forced closures, with operators selling homes and cars to survive. Astronomical operating costs Perhaps most daunting are the daily expenses. Each elephant requires 500 baht worth of food daily, consuming 10 per cent of their body weight in grass, corn stalks, and other vegetation. With 62 elephants across both facilities (13 at Hug Elephant, 49 at Mae Taeng), monthly food costs alone reach 300,000-400,000 baht. "Elephants must eat every day," Thanabhumi emphasises. "These costs increase annually, regardless of visitor numbers." - Photo: The Nation/ANN Strategic adaptation and international outreach The camps have adopted a multi-pronged survival strategy: Tourism Promotion: Participating in Tourism Authority of Thailand events to revive the Chinese market, which comprises 70 per cent of their clientele. International Expansion: Establishing booths in nearly 10 countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and the Philippines, to connect with tour agents. Local Partnerships: Collaborating with Chiang Mai's tourism industry council and business associations for mutual support. Cultural Diplomacy: This June, the camp will host weddings for three American couples on elephant-back, featuring US media coverage and Thai embassy representatives—a "soft power" initiative showcasing Thai culture internationally. - Photo: The Nation/ANN Community impact and social responsibility The operation supports 300 employees, including restaurant staff and the Karen long-neck village community. Men work as mahouts, raft guides, and drivers, whilst women serve as housekeepers and cooks. The camp provides housing, utilities, and rice for 4,000 baht monthly. Before Covid-19, the facility welcomed up to 2,700 visitors daily during peak periods. Currently, they average 200 visitors on weekdays and 700-1,200 during high season. - Photo: The Nation/ANN Diversification and innovation The camps continue operating traditional activities alongside new offerings. Mae Taeng maintains elephant shows and rides, plus non-elephant activities like ox-cart rides and bamboo rafting on the Mae Taeng River. The educational programme has proven particularly successful with international visitors from Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Europe, America, Australia, the Middle East, and Israel. Recent years have seen increased visitors from South Korea, Spain, France, and Italy. Thai visitors comprise only 10 per cent of guests, primarily elephant enthusiasts or corporate groups. The camp attempts to attract more domestic tourists through "elephant influencers" and special pricing for Thai elephant followers. - Photo: The Nation/ANN Looking forward As Thailand's tourism industry slowly recovers, these adaptations may prove crucial for survival. The shift from entertainment to education represents a fundamental change in how elephant tourism operates, potentially setting new standards for the industry. "We're not just trying to survive," Thanabhumi concludes. "We're trying to create a sustainable model that benefits elephants, employees, and the community whilst providing meaningful experiences for visitors." The question remains whether these innovative approaches will be sufficient to weather the ongoing economic challenges and changing tourist expectations in post-pandemic Thailand. - The Nation/ANN
