Travel, a topic that can never be finished, some people love landscapes, some people like the sea, some people yearn for prosperous cities, and some people have a special love for history and culture. If you're also a traveler curious about history and people, you can't miss Cambodia.
Cambodia is full of scenery: palm trees towering into the sky, farming scenes of farmers herding cattle and sheep, stilted thatched huts built from local materials, countless sumptuous fruits on the stalls of small traders and hawkers, Angkor Castle scattered in Siem Reap that was abandoned by the ancient dynasty, opened to the bustling bars... Each one tells an ancient story.
01. Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is probably our first understanding of Cambodia, this is the site of the ancient Khmer Dynasty, usually people call "Angkor Wat" is a collective name for the Angkor antiquities group, but in fact, Angkor Wat is only the most well-preserved and exquisitely detailed temple in the entire complex, it has another name called Angkor Temple or Little Angkor.
Everything here is like a lost ancient city, a lost world. Immersed in it, it seems to be surrounded by a mysterious force, solemn and deep.
02、 Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh is an ancient cultural city with many monuments and scenic spots. The Royal Palace in Phnom Penh preserves the style of Angkor architecture from Cambodia's heyday in the 11th century. The palace includes more than 20 large and small palaces such as the Conference Palace, the Throne Palace, and the Treasure Palace, and there are yellow walls surrounding the palace. Phnom Penh also preserves evidence of the dark rule of the Khmer Rouge, allowing countless people to remember this history and be grateful for the era of peace.
Phnom Penh has many monks and is arguably one of the cities with the highest proportion of religious occupations in the world. There are many temples and pagodas. The modern Phnom Penh City, with its neat and spacious boulevards and elegant and beautiful French villas everywhere in the city, is a very beautiful city.
03. Tonle Sap Lake
Tonle Sap Lake, also known as Phnom Penh Lake, is located in the heart of Cambodia and is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. Like a huge emerald green, it is embedded in the land of Cambodia, providing a solid resource guarantee for the development and prosperity of the Khmer nation, and is the "lake of life" of the Cambodian people.
Most of the residents of the floating village are Vietnamese remnants of the Cambodian-Vietnamese War, which is not managed by the Cambodian government, which can be regarded as "self-destruction". Extreme barrenness is like a turbid river, completely exposed to sunlight. Basically, every floating house will be decorated with flowers and plants outside, and people are surprised that such a poor environment cannot hide their pursuit of life interest, what kind of mood it should be.
03. Sihanoukville
This is the largest seaport in Cambodia, and although the beaches here are not as good as famous tourist destinations such as Madai, Phuket and Bali, it is also a good place for a relaxing holiday, where you can enjoy the clear sand and coconut sea charm that embraces the water here.
There's Westport's most famous beach, Sokha Beach, the best choice for a quiet getaway, the newly developed Otes Beach, which is peaceful and relaxing, and the beautiful Independent Beach with its breathtaking natural beauty.
There is also a place called Bamboo Island, which is an outlying island in the sea outside Sihanoukville, this small island is undeveloped, the overall environment is still pristine, the water level of the shoal is just above the foot surface, gently walking in this emerald green shoal, you will see small fish or small crabs passing by from the foot, very cute and agile.
Some people think that Cambodia's surviving world cultural heritage must go to this life; others say that Cambodian children should also go to eat sugar. What is the real Cambodia like, only when you come, you see, the heart is shocked by the mystery of the monuments, feel the lights of the night and the prosperity, you will know, there is a feeling that you are in the world, the heart is in heaven.
