Named in honor of the former king, Norodom Sihanouk, Sihanoukville was carved out of the jungle in the late 1950s to create Cambodia's first and only deep-water port. Besides being the primary port, Sihanoukville is also a popular seaside resort with beautiful tropical beaches, famous for their white sand and unspoiled landscape.
Your half-day tour starts with a visit to panoramic drive along the coastal streets and beaches of Sihanoukville. Making photo stops at the Golden Lion Square and Statue of Love before making a visit to Wat Batrang. The temple is surrounded by numerous stupas, and its Khmer influence.
Stop for photos at the city's War Memorial, before you drive to a local market with its colorful displays of fish, poultry, palm sugar, tropical fruits, flowers, fabrics and crafts.
Your next stop is the pastel-colored Wat Leu temple, known for its elaborate paintings depicting the life of Buddha. Here, young monks dressed in red robes will eagerly practice their English with you.
Drive to Sihanoukville Beach for refreshments before the return drive back to the port.
Please note: Wear comfortable walking shoes.
