🌿 Wat Phnom: Where Phnom Penh’s Story Begins 🛕✨

#summervacay

High above the city hustle stands Wat Phnom, the spiritual heart of Phnom Penh and the birthplace of its name. 🐘🌸

Climb the shaded hill and you’ll find a peaceful temple, fluttering prayer flags, and curious monkeys watching from the trees. Legend says Lady Penh built this sanctuary in the 14th century after discovering sacred statues in the river — and Phnom Penh was born.

It’s not just a temple, it’s where history, myth, and serenity meet in the middle of a bustling capital. A quick escape into calm.

🕰️ Best time: Sunset hour for golden light
🎟️ Entry: ~$1 USD (foreigners)
