Angkor Wat, Koh Rong Island, Ngoc Luc Bao Buddha Pagoda, Bokor National Park and Western Pub Street are Cambodia's favorite destinations.

1. The complex of relics of Angkor Wat

The complex of Angkor Wat is one of the wonders of the world and the pride of Cambodia. Every year, this place attracts thousands of visitors from all over to visit and explore.

This relic complex was left by the ancient Khmer people for the modern world with an area of up to 248 square miles (400km2), surrounded by deep, wide water cages. Coming here at dawn, visitors will be overwhelmed by the scenery of towers, temples, and statues with beautiful decorative motifs and ancient sculptures, creating a unique and beautiful wonder of the world.

2. Koh Rong Island

"Paradise Island" Koh Rong is an ideal destination for those looking for a peaceful, relaxing vacation in Cambodia. The island is located in the Gulf of Thailand and about 25 km from the coast of Sihanoukville, still possessing natural, pristine beauty despite being exploited a lot for tourism.

Because the roads are easy to travel with beautiful scenery, Koh Rong is a popular destination for Cambodian tours and independent travel. This island has an area of 78 km2, 43 km of coastline and more than 23 beautiful beaches. The best time to come here is from early May to mid-November, when there are few clouds, the temperature is moderate from 25 to 40 degrees Celsius.

3. Ngoc Luc Bao Phat Pagoda

The Ngoc Luc Bao Pagoda, also known as the "Golden Pagoda of the Silver Pagoda" in Phnom Penh, is located on the left side of the royal palace in the architectural complex of the Royal Palace of Cambodia. The pagoda is not only famous for its beautiful architecture but also for the artistic and cultural - historical values it brings.

The pagoda is where the royal court and the court officials held Buddhist rituals, so there were no monks to maintain it. The name Silver Pagoda is given because the pagoda has 5329 silver pieces painted on the foundation of the Western guesthouse. Asian tourists call this the Golden Temple because the pagoda has a Maitreya Buddha statue made of pure gold with real-life size and weighs up to 90km and has 2,086 diamonds attached.

4. Bokor National Park

This beautiful destination is dedicated to tourists who love nature and tropical forest mountain landscapes. Bokor National Park was established in 1993 with an extremely large area, home to many rare species of flora and fauna in Cambodia.

In particular, this place is also famous for Bokor Hill Station - a relic of the resort from the French colonial period. The resort is covered with green moss that once had everything, from schools, post offices to churches, card rooms and hotels. Since it was abandoned, it has become sad and creepy, but it is still a sightseeing and check-in spot that makes many tourists excited.

5. Tay Pub Street Quarter

Tay Pub Street is a famous destination in Siem Riep city (Cambodia). Like Tay Vui Vien street in Vietnam, this place has many restaurants, bars, Western food stores and traditional Khmer dishes.

Most of the shops and bars on Pub Street are open all day, but the busiest time is around 5pm to 12am. Many places are open until morning, which is a place that domestic and foreign tourists enjoy exploring every time they visit Cambodia.
