🏮Lunar New Year Celebration: Fusion of Tradition and Modern Innovation
As the Lunar New Year approaches, Amantaka has carefully prepared a series of celebrations to let guests feel the strong festive atmosphere even in a foreign country. The event kicks off on January 28 with a traditional Laotian Buddhist water blessing ceremony.

The entire ceremony is conducted in a serene and solemn atmosphere, providing guests with unprecedented purification and tranquility.
As the Year of the Dragon comes to an end, captivating traditional Laotian dance performances such as the blessing dance and jasmine dance offer guests a feast for the eyes and soul. These dances not only showcase the unique charm of Laotian culture but also symbolize good luck and prosperity in the new year. In the evening, guests will participate in activities celebrating the cultural diversity of Luang Prabang and enjoy a Chinese reunion dinner under the stars. This dinner, carefully designed by the hotel's chef, features selected seafood and land ingredients to create exquisite dishes, each with rich cultural connotations and stories, allowing guests to experience the cultural fusion of Laos and China while enjoying the food.
🌞On New Year's Day, guests gather again at the hotel's barbecue area to share the warm festive atmosphere. The barbecue area is filled with various delicious dishes, and guests can enjoy the food while discussing their plans and dreams for the new year.
In addition, guests will have the opportunity to participate in the almsgiving activity, an extremely important part of traditional Laotian culture. On this day, guests will follow the monks' footsteps and offer alms and rice prepared by Amantaka to the monks and novices.
