🌿 Wat Phnom: Where Phnom Penh’s Story Begins 🛕✨

#summervacay High above the city hustle stands Wat Phnom, the spiritual heart of Phnom Penh and the birthplace of its name. 🐘🌸 Climb the shaded hill and you’ll find a peaceful temple, fluttering prayer flags, and curious monkeys watching from the trees. Legend says Lady Penh built this sanctuary in the 14th century after discovering sacred statues in the river — and Phnom Penh was born. It’s not just a temple, it’s where history, myth, and serenity meet in the middle of a bustling capital. A quick escape into calm. 🕰️ Best time: Sunset hour for golden light 🎟️ Entry: ~$1 USD (foreigners) #tags #watphnom #phnompenhheritage #cambodiatravel #hiddenphnompenh #templehillvibes #spiritualcambodia #ladypenhlegend #watphnomsunset #monksandmonkeys #urbanoasiscambodia
