📍Detailed address:
Cambodia was formerly known as the Khmer Empire. On the map, the Kingdom of Cambodia is located on the southern part of the Indochinese Peninsula in China ⛰️, with a land area of 181,000 square kilometers and its capital in Phnom Penh. It is a traditional agricultural country with many farmers 👨🌾👨🌾👨🌾. In recent years, the tourism industry has developed rapidly, attracting many tourists from Europe, America and other countries every year.
👍Most recommended:
The most popular tourist destinations in Cambodia are Angkor Wat, the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, and the Central Market👍.
The Royal Palace of Phnom Penh was built by King Norodom I after he moved the capital to Phnom Penh in the year of 1866. Since then, the palace has become a symbol of Phnom Penh and the center of power in Cambodia. 👑👑👑
The current palace was designed and built by the French in the late 19th century, and was later expanded in the early 20th century. What tourists see today is only a small part of the palace 🙈. However, it still gives people a glimpse of Cambodia's glorious history and the unique beauty that sets it apart from other palaces 🏰.
Walking under the blue sky and white clouds, even on the hot and unbearable streets of Phnom Penh, from afar, the eaves of the palace and the pointed towers complement each other, shining in gold and splendor. The golden roofs and yellow walls surround each other, and the colors of blue sky, white clouds, green trees 🌴, palace, and the unique features of the streets are so beautiful that tourists are even a little breathless and overwhelmed by the beauty.
On the east side of the palace👉is a lawn square covered with lush green grass🌿☘️🍃. It is said that events such as the annual water-splashing festival and Independence Day commemoration are held here. #Discover the colors of the journey
Currently, except for the royal residential area, which is not open to visitors, we can see most of the other attractions, such as the Coronation Palace, the Silver Hall Garden, and the Reviewing Stand, which are all quite beautiful, but unfortunately photography is not allowed.

Famous for 😎: its visually striking dome and architecture, especially from a helicopter view;
landmark of Cambodia- built in 1937; 26 meters tall, many jewelleries and souvenirs inside for both tourists and locals to choose from

Experience 🤓: overall things are cheap with good value for money, but the shops in the Central Market are experienced dealing with tourists, so most things are tourist price as well. You need haggling with the sellers for sure for better price.#celebratewithtrip #cambodia #phnompenh #markets

Friday 11th January and we paid a visit to this large market which is housed in a unique Art Deco building which is a landmark in Phnom Penh.
The dome-shaped building has four arms branching out from it, from the outside it sort of resembles a train station.
Inside the dome and the large hallways, that spur off it, is packed with countless stalls with a vast range of goods on display. As well as clothing there is a dazzling display of jewelry and gold alongside electronic goods, stationery, and flowers. Never seen so many sunglasses or watches in one place before.
The entrance roadway to the market is lined with stalls piled with souvenirs, T-shirts, postcards, fruit and flowers and so much more.

The Central Market, which we came to, is the most prosperous place in the night. The market is built around the ring. Apart from the general shops, the most characteristic ones are various roadside stalls. If you want to buy local specialties and agricultural products in the local mountains, this is a good choice. We tried food from the roadside booths during the day and the night, but we had a stomach-ache the next day, so everyone needs to choose wisely and carefully.

The central market in Phnom Penh was designed by French designers. The shape of the dome, the dazzling color is very beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds. Inside the central market is a variety of small shops, everything to eat and wear. Many tourists will choose to come here to buy some souvenirs to bring back, remember to buy things here can be counter-offer! However, it is recommended not to buy some jewelry and jewelry here, after all, I don't know if it is true or not.

Where goods and gastronomy collides 💥
Visiting the Central Market in Phnom Penh was a sensory overload of vibrant colors, bustling energy, and diverse offerings.
From intricately woven textiles to gleaming jewelry to (probably knock-off) luxury watches and aromatic spices, the market was a treasure trove of Cambodian craftsmanship and anything you could think of.
But the best was yet to be. As we walked aimlessly in the market, we stumbled across the the food market near the western entrance. The air was filled with the aroma of freshly grilled meats, barbequed seafood and stir fried dishes, mingled with the occasional sweet scent of tropical fruits. Wandered among the stalls, I couldn't help but feel immersed in the rich culinary heritage of Cambodia.

To me, Hong Kong is a melting pot of culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to visit the Avenue of Stars, take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, explore Tai O Fishing Village and...so much more!

Central market is a popular stop for all tourists visiting. Over here you can find shop selling jewelleries, clothes, bags, daily use items, electronics,wet market, haircut shops, tailoring, and most importantly the food area.
Thecenter area is built with high ceiling so its cooling inside compare to the stalls outside.
The food stalls might look not so hygienic, so eat at your own risk. as similiar to all other street food in Cambodia.
I would suggest to come when late noon so it wont be too hot.

Central Market in Phnom Penh
St. 163 Corner of St. 440, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Phnom Penh, 12310, Cambodia
I love to visit the local market whenever I go overseas. For Phnom Penh city, the Central market is one that I look forward to. As the things in the mall are much expensive, the locals turn to buying daily supplies from the Central market. The Central market sells a wide array of items.
From local fruits, to local apparel, to hand crafted souvenirs, jewellery, and even silk products. This is very interesting. Be sure to visit the market in the late morning as it closes in the evening time. Be sure to place your belongings Infront of you as the market can be crowded at times. Do bargain when you are making your purchase.
