Cycling In Cambodia South Coast

Welcome to Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital city! Phnom Penh sits at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonle Sap Rivers, and was once considered one of the most beautiful cities in the Orient. Despite its recent, turbulent history, it still retains much of its former colonial charm. Wide, tree-lined boulevards and colonial-era buildings reflect the city’s glory days and add to its allure, where Asian and Western traditions meet in a fascinating way. Enjoy the cyclo tour with a visit to the 19th century Royal Palace and its Silver Pagoda, named for the over 5,000 heavy silver tiles that cover its floors. The temple is renowned for its marvellous collection of Buddhas cast in gold, silver, crystal, and bronze. Afterward, visit the National Museum, not far from the Royal Palace. Built in traditional Khmer style, it houses the world's foremost collection of ancient Khmer artistic, archaeological, and religious artifacts from the 4th to the 13th centuries. Displayed in its halls are over 5,000 pieces of the Kingdom’s unique archaeological heritage. The National Museum is of interest not only for its contents, but also for safe housing thousands of bats living in its Khmer style roof. Return to the hotel to refresh before stepping out for dinner at Romdeng, an NGO restaurant where former street children are taught the principles of hospitality. Overnight in Phnom Penh.
