The Place
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
City introduction
Riverside capital between golden palaces and heavy recent history. Phnom Penh sits at the Mekong and Tonlé Sap's meeting point: the Royal Palace's gilded spires, the sobering weight of the Killing Fields and S-21, a riverside promenade built for evening strolls, and a young food scene coming into its own. Two days of history and humanity.
