🌇 From Kingdom Roots to River Lights: Royal Palace & Riverside Walk

#summervacay 1️⃣ 🏛️ Royal Palace Plaza – A Khmer Fairytale Stand before the magnificent Royal Palace, perched at the confluence of the Tonlé Sap and Mekong rivers. It’s a masterpiece of Khmer architecture with golden spires and lush courtyards built in the 1860s by King Norodom 2️⃣ plaza in front is the perfect vantage point—capture the grand silhouette at sunset, or watch locals and monks casually wander amid royal grandeur. 📸 Tip: Time your visit for sunset—the “floating palace” effect is simply magical. 🌊 Sisowath Quay – Phnom Penh’s Riverside Soul Just steps away, you'll find the 3‑km riverside promenade known as Sisowath Quay 📸 Tip: Stroll along the quay with a drink, snap reflections at night, and look for sunset cruises drifting by. ✅ Suggested Mini-Itinerary 5:00 PM: Arrive at Royal Palace plaza—catch the sunset silhouette. 5:45 PM: Head east along Sisowath Quay—grab cocktails or Khmer coffee. 6:30 PM: Sunset photo session by the river. #phnompenhsunset #royalpalacepp #sisowathquay #mekongsunset #cambodiabynight #riversidevibes #khmerarchitecture #watounalom #hiddenphnompenh #culturalsunset
