Phnom Penh (/pəˈnɔːm ˈpɛn/ or /ˈnɒm ˈpɛn/;[2][3]
Khmer: ភ្នំពេញ, Khmer pronunciation: [pʰnum peɲ], formerly romanized as
Panomping) is the capital and largest city of
Cambodia. Located on the banks of the Tonlé Sap and
Mekong River, Phnom Penh has been the national capital since
French colonization of Cambodia, and has grown to become the nation's center of economic and industrial activities, as well as the center of security, politics, cultural heritage, and diplomacy of Cambodia.
Once known as the "
Pearl of Asia," it was considered one of the loveliest French-built cities in Indochina[4] in the
1920s. Phnom Penh, along with
Siem Reap and
Sihanoukville, are significant global and domestic tourist destinations for Cambodia. Founded in 1434, the city is noted for its beautiful and historical architecture and attractions. More info visit :
