Buddhist temple Wat Phnom located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia is also the highest point in Phnom Penh. It is the tallest religious structure in the whole city. It is related to the origin of the name Phnom Penh. More than 600 years ago, a woman named "Bian" saw a big tree floating on the river. After pulling ashore, she found four bronze Buddha statues and a stone statue in the tree hole. She felt that this was a god-given gift. She added a mountain slope near her home and built a temple on it for worship. Under the blessing of the gods, the city developed here, and people named the city "Phnom Penh" according to the name of the temple and the woman. Then developed the Grand Palace of Cambodia, which is full of classical architecture, a golden yellow colored structure. It is also the place where the king of Cambodia lived when he was in the country, and met with major foreign leaders. I heard that the king was single. He stayed in China for a long time when he was young. He knew a woman, but his parents did not agree for this engagement. The two sides agreed that they won't get married. It is a really touching story.
