Phnom Penh, the beating heart of Cambodia, is a city that hums with an intoxicating blend of old and new. Situated at the junction of the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers, it has always been a place rich in history, culture, and innovation. Once the royal capital of the Khmer Empire, it has seen triumphs and tragedies, from the glory days of the 15th century to the horrors of the Khmer Rouge era.
