March 11, 2012 – Phnom Penh – Full day city tour (B, L)

After lunch, the group will visit Choeung Ek, also known as the Killing Fields, where over 17,000 people were murdered and buried in mass graves by the Khmer Rouge. Though this is a very emotional site to visit, it's very important in terms of understanding recent Cambodian history and culture.

 

StarHIGHLIGHT! Phnom Penh was a bustling commercial hub during French colonial days and today has re-established itself as the political and financial center of the country. Its rich historical past can be traced to the Khmer and French influence evident in the ornate Khmer-style temples and the grand colonial buildings and villas.
