Travel to Cambodia - Cambodia Cities and Attractions In the 1920s, Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh, situated on the banks of the Mekong, was known as the "Pearl of Asia" and today it retains much of its elegance with its Khmer and French architecture.

The French also left behind their villas, boulevards and churches etc. An important example is the Art deco market, Phsar Thom Thmei.Although the architecture survived the horror of the Khmer Rouge regime, the rush to develop and modernise is now putting much of the city's heritage under threat from property speculators and there is a rising movement to preserve the city's past.This is a city to wander in, absorbing the sounds, sights and smells of an Asian capital on the brink of taking its place in the modern world while holding on to its unique identity and tradition.
