Let’s introduce Phnom Penh more before it became the capital city. It has been a long long time ago since people inhabited parts of Southeast Asia. Then it may be since the early Stone Age, and our Khmer Ancestors have been in this area for at least more than thousands of years, or maybe longer. But Phnom Penh was not in any historical record until the mid of 15th Century (AD), it first became the capital city and at that time known as “Chaktomuk” capital – the “Four Faces” – it is located at the intersecting of four rivers which is a confluence of the Mekong River.
Phnom Penh the capital city of Cambodia, is the biggest downtown in the country, it is a small city in Asia. Previously known as the ‘Pearl of Asia’, it inherits a rich virtuous legacy, which the distinct architectural styles could be seen in the buildings of the city, with the retainable conventional Khmer, antique Angkorian design, and French influences in its architecture. For decades of years, Phnom Penh has experienced eventful history but in recent years, it is ultimately making successful efforts towards its development. Those sights cause a feel and conjure up an image of the exotic from people afar.
