Top ten tourist attractions in Cambodia

Cambodia is a characteristic country with Southeast Asian flavor, with a particularly strong exotic flavor. It is also an ancient civilization, leaving a large number of scenic spots and historical sites, and its history and culture are extremely splendid, attracting a large number of tourists from all over the world to visit. This is a specific guide for you.

1. Rapier

Preah Vihear Temple is a Khmer temple, which is located on a 525m (1,722ft) cliff in the Tangerine Mountains between Cambodia and Thailand. It is the most spectacular place in all Khmer temples.

Most of this temple was built in the 11th and 12th centuries under the rule of Khmer Kings surya Warman I and surya Warman II. It is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva.

Preah Vihear is the subject of a long-standing territorial dispute between Thailand and Cambodia. Several soldiers were killed in the conflict in 29.

9. Sihanoukville Hotel

Sihanoukville, also known as Kampong Sow, is a port city and beach resort in the Gulf of Thailand. The biggest attraction here is the white sand beach and several undeveloped tropical islands. Sihanoukville is a good place to relax, although it is always ready to fight crows during peak season or holiday weekend.

8. Tonle Sap Lake

Tonle Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, is very important to Cambodia. With the change of seasons, the lake will expand and contract rapidly. From November to May (the dry season in Cambodia), Tonle Sap Lake flows into the Mekong River in Phnom Penh. However, when it began to rain heavily in June, the current in Tonle Sap Lake changed direction and formed a huge lake. Tonle Sap Lake is home to many Vietnamese and Chambon communities, who live in floating villages by the lake.

7. Looking for a Hotel in the Silver Pagoda

The Silver Pagoda is located in the palace compound in Phnom Penh and has many national treasures, such as gold and jewelry Buddha statues. The most famous are the Little Bakara Crystal Buddha (the Emerald Buddha of Cambodia) and the life-size Maitreya Buddha in the 17th century, decorated with 9584 diamonds. The inner wall of the courtyard of the Silver Pagoda is decorated with colorful and exquisite murals of the myth of Ramayana, painted by 4 Khmer painters from 193 to 24.

6. Pogoshan Station near Kampot was built by the French in the 192s as a refuge from the high temperature in Phnom Penh. Since then, it has been abandoned twice, the first time when Japan invaded Cambodia in the 194s and the second time when Cambodia was annexed by the Khmer Rouge in the 197s. Today, Bogo Mountain Station and its abandoned buildings are creepy. As of October 28, due to the ongoing reconstruction work, the road to Bokor has been officially closed. An independent visit seems impossible. Although there are hiking trips arranged by local travel agencies.

5.Kratie Mekong Dolphin

Kratie is a small town near the Mekong River, surrounded by the central market and ancient French colonial buildings. There are no large-scale tours here, but in the peak season, a large number of backpackers flock here. In Cambodia, a rare dolphin was found on Irrawaddy River. The number of these dolphins is decreasing. They live in the Mekong River. It is estimated that there are 66 to 86 dolphins left in the upper reaches of Mekong River in Cambodia.

4, KohLer

From 928 to 944, Cork Island was once the capital of the Khmer Empire. In a short time, some very spectacular buildings and huge sculptures were built. This place is occupied by the 3-foot (98-foot) high pyramid PrasatThom, which stands in the surrounding jungle.

The giant eagle-headed fish (mythical half-man, half-bird) carved on the stone is still on the top, although it is now partially covered. KohKer, abandoned in the jungle for nearly a thousand years, is one of the most remote and difficult temple destinations in Cambodia.

This situation has now changed due to the recent mine clearance work and the opening of new toll roads.

3. Banteay Srei

Although it has officially become a part of Angkor Wat, Bandie Palace is located 25 kilometers (15 miles) northeast of the main temples and temples, so it is generally considered as an independent scenic spot in Cambodia. The temple was built in 967 AD, mainly made of red sandstone. This medium is suitable for making exquisite decorative wall carvings, which are still clearly visible today. BanteaySrei is the only major temple in Angkor that was not built for the king. It was built by Yajnyavahara, one of the advisers of King Rajlavaman.

2. bayon temple

bayon temple is a part of Angkor, a world-famous scenic spot. Angkor has more than 2 huge rocky seas. The curious smiling face is regarded by many people as the portrait of King Jaya Waman VII himself or his combination with the Buddha, and it is an image of Angkor that can be recognized at a glance. Bayon was built by King Jayafman VII in the 12th century. This is part of the large-scale expansion of his capital, Angkor Wat, which was built in the center of the imperial city.

1. Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat (meaning "city temple") is the most magnificent and largest temple in all Angkor Wat and the most popular tourist attraction in Cambodia. This temple was built by King Suri Jabal II in the first half of the 12th century.

Its balance, structure and beauty make it one of the best monuments in the world. Angkor Wat is surrounded by a huge rectangular reservoir, which rises to the central temple and tower through a series of three rectangular terraces, with a height of 213 meters (669 feet). This arrangement reflects the traditional concept of Khmer Temple Mount, in which the temple represents the home of Hindu gods-Meru Mountain.
