Where is Wat Phnom Daun Penh
Near the Royal Palace, and central in Phnom Penh you can arrived there by Tok Tok, Grab, and your own vehicle. I was arrived there around 9am in morning by my motorbike. I suggest you to go there for the opening time is 7am to 7pm everyday. as Cambodian entry free, 1$ each person as a foreigner. but I think the price is affordable to visit perched on a hill, peaceful retreat form the hustle and bustle of the city.
Visit around and inside the Wat Phnom Daun Penh
I walked surrounding by lush greenery, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely walk. The temple itself is dedicated to the Buddhist goddess Penh, who is said to have founded the city. Visitors can explore the main pagoda, admire the intricate carvings, and take in the serene atmosphere. The view from the hill also provides a beautiful panorama of Phnom Penh, adding to the temple’s charm.
The temple is small and does not have much space, the space is a bit dark and gloomy. There are flowers for sale in front of the temple The security guards remind you to buy tickets, friendly and cheerful The temple is a tourist temple so there are many visitors and taking pictures is disorderly.
My last Interesting
Wat Phnom Daun Penh is very beautiful temple, there was even a toucan flying in the park! The temple is well maintained and so is the park around it. I read stories about beggars but we didn’t see these. There are also many local people walking near the temple. Very nice to see!
