Tourist Attractions in Cambodia are Worth the Money you spend on your Vacations Trip
There are many locations which are worth visiting in Cambodia and many of them are located in Battambang city, the provincial capital of Battambang province situated in the north-western region of the country. There is a distinct French influence noticeable in the city’s structures, in particular the temples of Buddha; on the other hand you can also visit some French shops to buy some traditional and antique items. As you enter the city you will get a general feeling of peace and calm, and this effect is enhanced when visitors visit the countryside which is full of greenery.
Centuries Old Khmer Culture And Its Uniqueness
The Khmer Empire varied in size under different rulers and Khmer culture came into prominence during the period between 802-1431. The language belongs to the Austroasiatic language family that is related to a number of Asian languages. The writing is derived from Indian systems as early as the third century C.E.
The Water & Moon Festival – The Mardi Gras of Cambodia
Cambodia is a colorful country, with a beautiful culture known for its colors, beauty and music around the world. And if you really want a spectacular souvenir of your visit to Cambodia, then you should really look forward to the Water & Moon Festival, or the “Bun Om Tuk” in Khmer, apart from other attractions. Although the event is celebrated according to the Buddhist calendar, in the month of Kadeuk, but as per the Western solar calendar, it usually falls in the month of November, so that is the time that you should be planning your trip to catch all the action. The Water & Moon Festival is held in the capital Phnom Penh.
Angkor Wat Tells Stories Of The Glorious Past
The ancestry of Cambodia is traced back to the legendary Indian Kaundinya and Soma, a Khmer princess, and this lineage was called Somavamsa. It was in the 7th century that Kambu and Mera, another legendary couple established a different lineage, the Suryavamsa. Amidst several warring kings, King Jayavarman II declared himself a universal ruler in 802.
Visit The Floating Villages Of Cambodia For An Exceptional Experience
A trip to the Angkor Wat in the Siem Reap province places you at a comfortable distance from another amazing place in Cambodia, the Chong Khneas, the most famous of its floating villages. The floating village is located just 15 km from the city of Siem Reap, which is most likely to be your camping grounds if you are interested in the Angkor Wat. It could take you not more than a drive of half an hour to take you to the Lake Tonle Sap where this amazing village is floating. If you plan to visit the place from Phnom Penh or Battambang, a ferry trip on the Tonle Sap River can get you there, but reaching the village from Siem Reap is much easier.
