Information about Phnom Penh

Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, has a population of approximatively 1,000,000.  The city retains its traditional and colonial charm. It has several impressive wats (temple-monasteries) that include: Wat Ounalom, Wat Phnom and Wat Lang Ka. It breathes the atmosphere of French Indochina and has many buildings left from this period. There is a rule that newly erected buildings cannot be higher than the Royal palace, so the skyline from the beginning of the last century is largely preserved. French colonial villas along tree-lined boulevards remind the visitor that the city was once considered the gem of South East Asia. Recent political changes have encouraged an economic boom, with new hotels, restaurants, bars and nightclubs spring up around the city.

Once known as "The Paris of the East", the forced evacuation of the population by  infamous Khmer Rouge in 1975 left it a ghost town for five years. Today the city has revived, while retaining its pre-war charm. Motorbikes and transport for the populace, and a leisurely ride in pedicap, (called "cyoclo")  is a relaxed way to get acquainted with some of the many highlights of this once beautiful city, whose classic villas and parks are being restored.

Phnom Penh means Hill (Phnom) of lady Penh, who founded it in 1372. The first establishment did not last long, the capital moved from one place to another. At the end of 19th century the capital moved to Phnom Penh again and still remain the same up to the present time. Covering an area of 41 square kilometers, Phnom Penh is a major political, economic, cultural, communication and tourism center for home and world service.

Phnom Penh's era of modern development and planning took place after independence in 1953, with the addition of three lined avenues, gardens with fountains and several distinctive monuments reflecting the city's new found sense of freedom. Modern day Phnom Penh is a bustling city and one can see scaffolding rising all over as demand for new housing and office space keeps growing. It therefore comes as no surprise to discover that Phnom Penh is a charming mix of ancient monuments and modern landmarks. It is interesting to note that only about 10 percent (1 million) of Cambodian live in this city.

A mixture of Asian exotica,  the famous Cambodian hospitality awaits the visitors to the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Situated at the confluence of three great rivers Phnom Penh is the commercial, political and cultural hubs of the Kingdom and is home to over one million of the country’s estimated 11.4 million people.

It is also the gateway to an exotic land….the world heritage site, the largest religious complex in the world, the temples of Angkor in the west, the beaches of the southern coast and the ethnic minorities of the northeastern provinces.
