Ancient temples,
empty beaches, mighty rivers, remote forests...
At the top of any list of places to visit in Cambodia is the
Angkor complex of ancient temples in the province of Siem Reap.
Here more than 400 square kilometres are dotted with the
cultural remnants of the Khmer civilization. The most famous of
these sites is Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious
monument and truly one of the architectural wonders of the
world.
Cambodia sits on the Gulf of Thailand and so you will find many
unspoilt beaches as well as coral islands basking just offshore
in the warm tropical sea. A day at the beach can be followed by
a sumptuous meal of fresh seafood at an Oceanside restaurant.
Cambodia can also boast many rivers offering unique tourist
experiences and for those who want to get close to nature
the
forest reserves and parks offer hikers the opportunity to enjoy
luxuriant flora.
The people of Cambodia enjoy many festivals that reflect
their
culture and religion, and the foreign visitor is always welcome
to share the occasion. |
