Greiti faktai: A towering hill marks this sacred site, standing 27 meters above the flat Phnom Penh cityscape. Visitors encounter a blend of Khmer cultural symbols, historic statues, and a legendary story of a woman named Penh who raised a Buddha statue here.
Akcentai: At the top, a giant reclining Buddha and four guardian lions vividly tell stories of protection and spirituality. A unique tradition involves tying red silk ribbons to the Bodhi tree for blessings, creating a visually captivating and spiritually charged scene.
Vidiniai patarimai
- Wear comfortable shoes as the hill is climbed via steps steep in parts.
- Photograph the guardian lions and Bodhi tree with ribbons early to avoid crowds.
- Skip the souvenir stalls near the entrance if looking to avoid pushy sellers.
