About Cambodia

Cambodia lies in the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, where the Mekong River and the great Tonlé Sap lake nourish emerald rice paddies. From the capital, Phnom Penh, roads lead north to Angkor, the astonishing temple city of the medieval Khmer Empire. Heir to that golden age, Cambodia proudly displays the silhouette of Angkor Wat on its national flag.

• ·Angkor Wat, built in the 12th century, is the largest religious monument on Earth, covering some 160 hectares.
• ·The Tonlé Sap river reverses its direction of flow each year, swelling its lake to several times its dry-season size during the monsoon.
• ·Cambodia's name traces back to Kambuja, the Sanskrit-derived name of the ancient kingdom of the Khmer people.
