Phnom Penh is the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia, located at the confluence of the Mekong River, Tonle Sap River and Bassas River, and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. This "Pearl of the Orient" has a deep historical heritage, and became the capital of the Khmer dynasty in 1434. A large number of colonial buildings were left behind during the French period, which blended with traditional Khmer styles to form a unique cityscape. Landmarks include the Phnom Penh Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda, Pagoda Hill, and the Independence Monument, which bears witness to the city's history. As a cultural hub, the National Museum houses a large collection of Khmer artifacts, and traditional dances and handicrafts have been passed down to this day. In recent years, Phnom Penh has seen rapid economic development and a thriving tourism industry, with a vibrant Ouyasi Night Market and Central Market, where visitors can taste specialties such as Amok Fish (steamed fish in coconut milk) and experience the city's warmth and tolerance.
