Adjacent is the Silver Pagoda, also known as the Emerald Buddha Temple, displaying Buddha statues adorned with diamonds, emeralds, gold, and silver.

    Next, visit the National Museum, a distinctive red building with Khmer architecture built in 1917, housing over 5,000 art objects made of sandstone, bronze, silver, copper, wood, and other materials. Continue to the Independence Monument, constructed in 1954 to commemorate Cambodia’s independence from French colonial rule.

    At noon, explore Phsar Thmey (Central Market), a 1937 dome-shaped building with four branching arms, offering countless stalls selling gold, silver, antique coins, books, flowers, fabrics, shoes, souvenirs, seafood, and more.

    Proceed to Wat Phnom (Mountain Pagoda), a Buddhist temple on a hill, symbolizing Phnom Penh’s name. Built in 1372 to house four Buddha statues discovered by Lady Penh in the Mekong River, it’s a popular spot for locals to pray for good luck, play, and enjoy a stunning sunset.

    In the late afternoon, embark on a sunset cruise on the Mekong River, viewing the Royal Palace as the river branches into four streams. Return to your hotel between 4:30 PM and 5:00 PM.
