Back to ... Home ... Cambodia ... Phnom Penh ...

The only hill in Phnom Penh, with a temple on the top. Legend has it that a woman named Penh discovered four statues of Buddha deposited here by the Mekong, hence the city's name. It's all pretty cheesy now with people trying to sell you caged birds to release and so on.
