From Phnom Penh Palace, walk along Lake Donglisa to Unalong Temple for about 15 minutes, not far north of the Phnom Penh National Museum, is a rare large temple in Cambodia that can be accessed without tickets. Unalong Temple is the largest temple in Cambodia and accepts countless poor young people from all over Cambodia to study and study the Khmer culture, thereby better preserving the Khmer culture. So visitors can see the scenes of monks, reading, and discussing here, which is a good opportunity to get in touch with monks. Due to the ancient history of the Monastery, it has become the headquarters of the Cambodian National Church (Buddhist) organization. The temple contains the eyebrows of an ancient unknown saint, "Unalong" means "Holy eyebrows". There are the largest pagodas in Phnom Penh, and there are five smaller pagodas around it. In 1890, the monastery hosted a collection of Buddha's ashes from Sri Lanka and was dedicated to the pagoda; Then the nobles buried the ashes there, so that the ashes were standing around.

    Unalong Temple has the largest pagoda in Phnom Penh, and is also a very famous temple in Southeast Asia. The entire area is also relatively large. Many local tourists cannot visit it at will. The golden pagoda of the temple is really shocking.
