02:06

Water in Phnom Penh isn't just for fun – it's a blessing.

CGTN reporter Yang Xinmeng arrived just in time for the last day of Cambodia's traditional New Year and found herself in the middle of a joyful city-wide water fight.

Laughter, energy and hopes for a fresh start filled the streets.

It's more than a celebration – it's a gesture of friendship and a symbol of connection between two close neighbors.

Soursdey Chhnam Thmey!

Happy New Year from Cambodia!
