Preah Khan Temple is one of the largest temple complexes in the Angkor area, built by King Jayavarman VII in the 12th century to honor his father, hence also known as the "Father Temple". The temple is grand in scale and once served as an important Buddhist learning center. Preah Khan is renowned for its unique two-story structure and exquisite stone carvings, featuring numerous long corridors and courtyards. Similar to Ta Prohm, it has been invaded by tropical vegetation, with tree roots intertwining with ancient architecture to create a unique landscape. At the center of the temple stands a distinctive two-story circular building, a rare Greek-style structure in Angkor architecture.

프놈펜 시내의 유일한 공원겸 유적지로 프놈은 산, 펜은 홍수때 부처님 좌상을 건져올린 여성의 이름이다. 즉 펜의 산이라는 유적은 펜 여사가 부처님을 모신 곳이다. 부처님을 모신 사당은 매우 엄숙하고 경건해진다. 많은 관광객들이 방문하는 장소로 꼭 가볼만하다.

1400년도 부터 있어왔던 캄보디아 절 확실히 태국이나 베트남과는 내부나 불상의 모습도 다르네요 사람들이 어떻게 예불을 드리는지를 보면 캄보디아 분들의 불교문화를 바라볼 수 있는 좋은 장소가 아닐까 싶네요 옆에는 도교사원도 같이 있습니다. 절이긴 한데 공원처럼 만들어져 있네요

今天第一次去,空气真好啊,在喧嚣的城市能有这样一角,真难得。里面树林葱葱郁郁,很凉爽,最重要的是蚊子少,也适合带孩子去,一家人周末放松一下真的是不错的选择。\n看到了犀鸟,猴子🐵最让我感到意外的就是猴子自己爬来我身上,轻轻抚摸它的头就会睡着,安静的在我的腿上睡了40分钟,真幸运。真的非常有灵性,下次去我会给猴子带花生去。

It is worth a visit to Wat Phnom if you are in central Phnom Penh. It is the starting for all major highways in Cambodia as well as the legendary origin stories of our city. Even the name Phnom Penh, literally "the hill of Lady Penh", reinforces the centrality of Wat Phnom, as this pagoda is the hill that Lady Penh built to honour 4 Buddhist statues that miraculous floated down the river to her.\n\nWhether you believe the stories or not, come see the altars dedicated to Lady Penh adjacent to a Buddhist temple (a nice mixing of Buddhism and traditional shamanism).\n\nThe pagoda grounds also feature a statue representing the return of Battambang and Siem Reap from Thailand to Cambodia, a reminder that the current Thai-Khmer problems are certainly not the first instance of friction between the two nations.\n\nPro Tip\nThere are a lot of cultural performances in the pagoda stage so check the schedule to see if anything is going on during your visit.\n\nAlso, during Khmer New Year in April, this pagoda is the epicenter of music, dancing and water fighting for the whole of PP.

Sur le hauteur d'un parc, ce temple Wat Phnom domine le lieu.L'architecture est impressionnante par rapport à la hauteur et la taille. Un petit temple boisé à l'intérieur, rien de spécial. Cependant, vous ressentez le calme et la sérénité.
