The palace has a traditional Khmer architectural style and religious color, the palace has minarets, representing prosperity; the palace is painted yellow and white, yellow represents Buddhism, white represents Brahmanism. The palace was originally a wooden structure, but later converted into a cement structure, but maintained the original style. The murals on the corridors around the palace are carefully painted Indian mythology by 40 artists. The palace is rectangular, 435 meters long and 402 meters wide, with city walls outside and more than 20 buildings inside. The building is very rich in Khmer traditional style and religious color, mostly yellow and white, yellow represents Buddhism, white represents Brahmanism, so it looks golden. The roof of the palace building has high steeples in the center, the ridges at both ends of the roof are pointed up, beautifully shaped and magnificent. The entire palace is divided into two parts. The north part is because of the royal residence. Tourists cannot enter the house. The silver palace to the south can be visited. The two parts have walls, a passage in the middle, and a door is connected. In addition to foreign tourists, there are many local Cambodians who come to worship. Entering the Coronation Palace and the Silver Palace, you need to take off your shoes and take off your shoes on the shoe rack outside the gate. Photographing is strictly prohibited in the palace.

    The Phnom Penh Palace is a complex of historical and cultural values located in the heart of Phnom Penh. It was built by King Norodom from 1866 to 1870 and has been around for more than a century. The palace consists of a group of golden roofs, yellow walls surrounded by buildings, beautifully shaped and magnificent. The complex is full of traditional Khmer architectural styles and religious colors, including more than 20 palaces of the size of Chaya Palace, Golden Palace, Silver Palace, Dance Palace, Treasure Palace, and more, each with its own special architectural style and historical background. In the center of the palace, there is a reading station, which is where the king conducts military inspections. There is a gate in the center of the east wall of the palace, which is the entrance to the palace. Visitors can enter the palace through this gate and visit the historic complex. In addition, the palace's interior garden is also very neat and beautiful, a good place to relax and rest. Around the palace, there are many other attractions and cuisines, such as the National Museum of Cambodia and the Tashan Temple, which provide visitors with more cultural and historical learning and experience. Overall, the Phnom Penh Palace is a place worth visiting, where you can feel Cambodia’s history and culture, admire beautiful architecture and beautiful gardens.

    Good, it is worth a visit to understand the history and current situation of Cambodia. Especially the palace at night, the lights are very beautiful. And it is close to the Meigong River, there are many foreign tourists punching in here.

    I had the opportunity to visit the Royal Palace today, and I was truly awestruck by its grandeur and historical significance. The fact that the entrance ticket for foreigners is only $10 is incredibly affordable given the richness of the experience it offers. The Palace's visiting hours from 8 to 11 and 14:00 to 17:00 are well-suited for exploring, but I imagine it would be even more enchanting in the evening, with the palace illuminated. I highly recommend a visit to the Royal Palace, and if you have the chance, consider coming in the evening for a truly magical experience.
