Battambang city is a perfect place to relax your nerves as the city offers serenity and harmony on top of the lovely countryside. Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia houses a gem of a tourist attraction in the Royal Palace. The capital city has a remarkable characteristic that its location is the same where three rivers meet up. The Royal Palace attracts many visitors as it has many wonderful works of art and precious statues, moreover, it stands along the river which adds to its beauty and glory. Inside the Palace, 'The Throne Room' marks the place where rituals and ceremonies where held in old days, while 'The Napoleon Room' shows the lasting mark the French have made on the Cambodian traditions. 'Silver Pagoda' is a special place to visit in the Palace as it the home of a life-size statuette of Buddha. The features of this statue are truly mind-blowing as it is wholly made of gold and is also ornamented with diamonds. Life-size Buddha statue made of solid gold acts a major tourist attraction and many people head towards the 'Silver Pagoda' to set eyes on this true piece of art. With the 'Silver Pagoda' statue set aside, you will also find several smaller Buddha statues in the Royal Place. If you have a passion for precious jewelry, the capital city's markets are the right place for you to buy the best jewelry made of gold and silver. Apart from the appetizing food, tourists like to collect artifacts and items of apparel from shops in Cambodia. The walls of the Royal Palace are adorned with breathtaking frescoes and painting depicting Ramayana, while the red-brick National Museum is also the center of several pre-Angkor and post-Angkor sculptures, paintings and other works of art. A visit to Angkor is part of every tourist's schedule, as the city has high Hindu influence also depicted in its temples, meanwhile its significance can recognized from the fact that it was the capital city of the old Khmer Empire. Angkor city is famous for two great temples, namely, Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom; at the same time the gates of Bayon temple and Prohm temple also act as a magnet to draw tourists. While the city of Angkor has failed to grab hold of its old glory, tourists still feel captivated and mesmerized by its sights. Sihanoukville is a port and is quickly developing as a beach resort for tourists. The beach has to offer a lot to tourists as you can spend time swimming, scuba diving or getting a tan under the beautiful sun. Boats are available for tourists to venture further into the waters and have a closer look at the magnificent types of fish and sea creatures, while many tourists also enjoy making trips to close by islands.
