Like its name, Tashan Temple is one of the oldest temples in Phnom Penh on a high hill at the north end of Norodom Street. The Temple originated in 1372 and was built here by Mrs. Ben. After that, it was rebuilt several times and restored in 1927 to form its present scale. From the eastern side of the hill to the Dragon King staircase in Shanghai, the main hall is the first one to be seen. In the center of the main hall, golden Buddha statues are worshipped. There are many Buddha statues around. The life of Sakyamuni is painted on the murals. Inside the main hall stands the ashes tower of King Ayat of Penghei. Because of Siam's invasion, King Ayat of Penghei abandoned Angkor and moved the capital to this place around 1434. His ashes are also collected here. In the south, there is a small temple dedicated to the legendary image of Mrs. Ben. Because of people's firm beliefs, incense in the temple has been incense. There are many beggars around the pagoda yard. The public security situation will be very bad after evening. It's better to go before dark.

    It feels like a idyllic park with a shade. Foreigners charge 1 USD for admission. Locals are free. It may be good for those who want to cool in hot hours. You can also see wild squirrels.

    Wat Phnom has a really long history and is a sacred place. If you pray or wish for something, it will come true.

    Tashan Temple is located on the top of the mountain. A Buddhist pagoda about 30 meters high stands on the top of the mountain, which is even more magnificent. Down the hill is a small park for citizens to rest. The seven-headed snake god sculpture can be seen at the entrance, which symbolizes "good weather and good weather". In fact, the seven-headed snake god named "Naga" Naga is regarded as the sacred symbol of the origin of Cambodia and the patron saint of the prosperity of the kingdom. Tashan Temple is a landmark building in Phnom Penh and a place for local people to pray for blessings. At the gate of the temple, there is the same strong smell of cigarette smoke, the same devout worshippers, and unlike in China, there are vendors selling lotus flowers for gifts and Buddhas. Clusters of budding, beautiful lotus. The legend of Tashan - "Legend has it that in the 14th century a woman named "Ben" picked up a Buddha statue drifting down the Mekong River because of the great water, built hills, built temples and worshipped it, and gradually developed into a prosperous town. In the 15th century, the capital of the country was moved here from Angkor, officially named "Bai Bao Ben", meaning "Ben Madame's Mountain" and the local overseas Chinese were called "Phnom Penh".
