Phnom Penh is a capital city of Cambodia. It was abandoned during Khmer Rough Time. Now Phnom Penh becomes a business center for investors. All tall buildings are standing along the Mekong Riverside. There are a lot of places to visit such as Royal Palace, National Museum, Night Markets, Wat Phnom and emotional places namely Genocidal Museum and Killing Field.
Pick up at hotel and transfer to visit Royal Palace, home to the Cambodian royal family and a symbol of the nation, the beautiful royal gardens, landscaped with tropical plants and studded with gleaming spires, the Throne Hall where the royal receptions are held and the Cambodian king's coronation took place, the Silver Pagoda, named after the 5000 silver tiles covering the floor, each weighing 1kg. Inside are some of the country's most cherished treasures, including a life-size gold Buddha studded with 9584 diamonds, the largest weighing 25 carats. Then, visit National Museum, home to the world's finest collection of sculpture from the Angkor period. The exquisite building was completed between 1917 and 1920 and features a lush courtyard garden surrounded by collections from the pre-Angkor, Angkor and post-Angkor periods. We concentrate on the incredible sandstone sculpture from Angkor, as well as the intricate bronzes. After that, visit Genocidal Museum S21 Prison, a former high school that the Khmer Rouge turned into a centre for interrogation, torture and death. Today it is a museum of torture and serves to remind visitors of the terrible atrocities that came to pass in Cambodia. 17,000 people passed through the gates of this prison and only seven lived to tell the tale.
At the end, we go to visit Killing Field, Where prisoners from TuolSleng followed this same route to their fate.
