— The Pearl of Asia.

Phnom Penh is the intersection of two worlds – rivers and their history. Here are merged three major rivers: the Mekong, Bassac, and Tonlé Sap. All over the city one can see traces of its history related to water. Ferries sailing across the rivers, markets, evening lights covering wide waterfront give the impression of constant motion.
In addition, the city has something else besides its active life: colonial architecture, numerous temples and bustling modern streets. But the Mekong makes us realize its inner depth. The vastness of the river adds spaciousness among the bustle of the city life.
Thus, Phnom Penh can be considered as turning point on each Mekong trip, reminding travelers of its unique abilities – evoking memories, promoting exchanges, symbolizing history of Cambodia.
