[Cambodia Phnom Penh: An Adventure Through Time and Space]

🌟🌈Imagine stepping onto an ancient and mysterious land, where every step echoes with history and every breeze carries the scent of stories. Cambodia, a treasure trove in Southeast Asia, made my National Day holiday truly unique with its charm. 🚶‍♂️As soon as I got off the plane, I felt the warmth of the Cambodian people. Their friendliness and respect for Chinese people made me feel at home. However, I also learned a lesson here: while enjoying the convenience of using my phone on the street, I had to be wary of the uninvited "motorbike thieves." The locals' reminders made me more vigilant while enjoying my trip. 🌧️October in Cambodia is the rainy season. Fortunately, a sudden shower brought a touch of coolness to the hot weather. After the rain, Phnom Penh was fresh and quiet, with few tourists, allowing me to enjoy the tranquility. 🏰Speaking of Phnom Penh, I must mention the magnificent Royal Palace. My friend and I traveled light, carrying only some change. The ticket was not expensive, but the sense of history was priceless. Every corner of the palace exuded the splendor and majesty of the Cambodian royal family. 🏛️Next, we visited the National Museum of Cambodia. It houses countless precious artifacts, each telling the long history of the country. The ticket was also $10, but I felt it was worth it because it gave me a deeper understanding of Cambodian culture. 🚗During our trip, we also experienced the local transportation - tuk-tuks. Using Move to call a tuk-tuk was convenient and fast, and it only cost 27 yuan to reach the Choeung Ek Killing Fields. This place is a scar in Cambodia's history, but also a history that cannot be forgotten. Listening to the Chinese commentary, I felt as if I had traveled through time and space, feeling the weight of that history. 🍽️Speaking of food, Cambodian cuisine is a must-try. It is cost-effective and authentic, especially the local Amok fish, which is a feast for the taste buds. As for accommodation, I recommend trying local homestays, which are affordable and offer a deeper experience of local life. 📌Travel tips: Remember to bring sunscreen and rain gear, as the weather in Cambodia can change quickly. Also, learning a few simple Khmer phrases, such as "thank you" and "how much," will make your trip smoother. 🌟Cambodia, a country full of historical and cultural charm, gave me an unforgettable travel experience. Here, every step is an exploration, and every glance is a discovery. If you are also looking for a unique trip, Cambodia is definitely your best choice. 🌟
