• Sightseeing in Phnom Penh
Cambodia's capital sits at the confluence of the Mekong, Bassac
and Tonle Sap rivers. Considered the loveliest of the French-built
cities of Indochina, it was founded as a small monastery in
1372 by a rich Khmer woman called Penh, after she found four
Buddha statues in a tree trunk on the banks of the Mekong. She
set up the monastery on a nearby hill or "phnom" in
Cambodian.
• ROYAL PALACE AND SILVER PAGODA: the royal palace
stands on the site of the former citadel, Bantey Kev (built
in 1813). Visitors are not allowed to some portions of the grounds,
as the palace is the official residence of King Norodom Sihamoni.
The silver pagoda is often called the Pagoda of the Emerald
Buddha or Wat Preah Kaeo after the statue housed there. The
wooden temple was originally built by King Norodom in 1892 and
inside, its floor is comprised of more than 5000 silver blocks
which together weigh nearly 6 tons.
• NATIONAL MUSEUM: by a French archeologist and
painter, George Groslier, in Khmer style in 1920 to exhibit
works previously scattered throughout the country. It contains
a collection of Khmer art including the beautiful 6th century
bronze statue of Vishnu.
• CENTRAL MARKET or RUSSIAN MARKET: Visit one of
Phnom Penh's two great markets. The Central Market is located
in a distinctive domed Art Deco building, and is filled with
jewelry, fabrics and all types of souvenirs. The Russian Market
is a sprawling labyrinth of stalls selling everything from CDs
and DVDs to silks, crafts, jewelry and more. Both are fascinating
places to browse.
• Excursion to the Killing Fields
• THE KILLING FIELDS OF CHOEUNG EK: people tortured
in the S-21 prison (a former school taken over in 1975 by the
Khmer Rouge and turned into a torture chamber) were brought
here to be executed. Many mass graves were found in this area.
