The Silver Pagoda is paved with more than 5,000 silver bricks, shining with a unique light. National Museum The museum houses a large collection of Khmer art, including sculptures, ceramics, and ancient manuscripts. It is an excellent place to learn about Cambodian history and culture. Wat Phnom Wat Phnom is located on a small hill in the city center and is one of the oldest temples in Phnom Penh. From the top of the hill, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city. Russian Market This is a paradise for shoppers. A wide range of goods from handicrafts to clothing are available at affordable prices. 🌄Travel tips: Best time to travel The best time to travel to Phnom Penh is from November to February of the following year. The climate is cool during this period, making it suitable for outdoor activities. Transportation guide Public transportation in Phnom Penh is relatively limited. It is recommended to use Tuk-Tuk (tricycle) or taxi for travel. Tuk-Tuk is a good choice to experience the local customs. Cultural etiquette When visiting temples, please dress appropriately and avoid revealing clothes. When entering the temple, you need to take off your shoes and keep quiet. 🏨Accommodation tips: Luxury hotels There are many five-star hotels in Phnom Penh, such as Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, which provide first-class services and facilities. Budget accommodation For budget travelers, you can choose guesthouses or youth hostels in the city center, which are affordable and convenient for transportation. Homestay experience Try living in a local's home and experience the real Cambodian life, which is also a different way of travel. 💗Other tips: Currency and payment The official currency of Cambodia is the riel, but the US dollar is also widely accepted. It is recommended to carry some cash, as not all places accept credit cards. Safety tips Phnom Penh is generally safe, but you still need to be vigilant when traveling, especially at night and in crowded places. Food culture Trying local food such as Amok and Cambodian hot pot is an important part of experiencing local culture.
