【Phnom Penh 24 Hours】A Cultural Tour of Wat Phnom and Central Market.

🌆 24 hours in Phnom Penh is a magical journey through time. Wat Phnom, a small hill that witnessed the relocation of the Cambodian capital, not only carries the origin of Phnom Penh, but also is a treasure trove of culture. Legend has it that in the 14th century, Lady Penh found a Buddha statue here and built a temple to worship it, thus opening the prosperous chapter of Phnom Penh. 🏛️ Wat Phnom, built on Wat Phnom, is the birthplace and spiritual symbol of the city. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the beauty of Phnom Penh and feel the historical pulse of the city. 🛍️ The Central Market (Phsar Thmei) is the heart of Phnom Penh. It is not only a shopping paradise, but also a great place to experience local life. The market has everything from gold and silver jewelry to traditional handicrafts, from fresh produce to various snacks. 🥭 On E168 Road, you can find local breakfast shops, fruit stalls and dried fish. The surrounding area feels like Yiwu Small Commodity City. The fridge magnets here are $2 for 2, making them a great choice for travel souvenirs. 📸 If you are a photography enthusiast, then every corner of Phnom Penh is your show. Whether it's a quiet afternoon on Wat Phnom or the hustle and bustle of the Central Market, Phnom Penh always has its own way to make every trip unforgettable. 🌄 In Phnom Penh, you don't have to go anywhere, there will be surprises at every street corner. Just relax and enjoy yourself like the protagonist in the movie "Before Sunrise".

The Central Market

Friday 11th January and we paid a visit to this large market which is housed in a unique Art Deco building which is a landmark in Phnom Penh. The dome-shaped building has four arms branching out from it, from the outside it sort of resembles a train station. Inside the dome and the large hallways, that spur off it, is packed with countless stalls with a vast range of goods on display. As well as clothing there is a dazzling display of jewelry and gold alongside electronic goods, stationery, and flowers. Never seen so many sunglasses or watches in one place before. The entrance roadway to the market is lined with stalls piled with souvenirs, T-shirts, postcards, fruit and flowers and so much more.
