The Cambodia 's business and political center. It is additionally the passage to the sanctuaries of Angkor in the west, the shorelines of Sihanoukville on the southern coast and the slope tribe minority in the Northern Province . Revitalized capital city with sanctuaries and French pilgrim building design mixed with a cosmopolitan eateries, lodgings, and night life scenes. 


The capital of Cambodia goes back to an occasion in the year 1327. It is said that a rich dowager named Don Penh discovered a tree with 5 Buddhas in it. She in this way established a pagoda, Wat Phnom Don Penh, The Monastery on the Hill of Lady Penh. In 1434 the city established a few years before by King Ponhea Yat was done. In 1866 it turned into the capital. 

Taking after its late traumatic history, stops, gardens and rich manors are presently being restored, tree-lined roads still mirror the tastefulness of the city's French pioneer past, and camera-clicking travelers sit in pedicabs ("cyclos") which weave their path lackadaisical through the expanding quantities of autos and cruisers. This lovely scene, combined with the present clamor of hopeful trade, gives a false representation of the chilling actuality that the city stood relinquished and unfilled from 1975-1979 amid the constrained clearing by the disdained Khmer Rouge.
