A very calming religious ceremony. The monks are deeply immersed in the ritual process, which is very special. You can come and see it to experience a different religious ceremony.
Very professional, worth experiencing.
The organizers changed the performance time without notifying anyone, standing up all the travelers. A bunch of people waited in front of the museum for a long time, but the doors never opened. Later, two local guides dressed in white robes like religious followers helped inquire at the museum's cultural center, only to find out that the performance had been canceled!
Solemn and dignified, well worth seeing~
