Most known for its dark past with the Khmer Rouge, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, has so much more to offer both tourist and visiting travelers.

📍The Royal Palace & Silver Pagoda 🏯🌸🇰🇭⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ "Buildings that are open to the public include the golden-spired Throne Hall, which is painted yellow to symbolise Buddhism – the main religion in Cambodia – and white to represent Hinduism, the dominant religion during Angkorian times." [1]⁣ ⁣ "The palace was constructed between 1866 and 1870, after King Norodom relocated the royal capital from Oudong to Phnom Penh. It was built atop an old citadel called Banteay Kev. It faces approximately East and is situated at the Western bank of the cross division of the Tonle Sap River and the Mekong River called Chaktomuk (an allusion to Brahma)."
