Cities of interest in Cambodia
Phnom Penh | |
---|---|
One of the finest cities in south-east Asia in the 1950s and 60s, Phnom Penh suffered considerably during the brutal Khmer Rouge regime but has managed to retain much of its attraction and charm. The Royal Palace is a magnificent and beautiful complex and includes the Silver Pagoda temple within its grounds, which houses the Emerald Buddha. The French Quarter near the riverfront has many colonial buildings beings restored and a lively bar and restaurant scene. The Central Market and Russian Market are good places to buy jewellery and clothes respectively. Other attractions in the city include the temple of Wat Phnom and the National Museum. |
