ភ្នំបាសិត Phnom Baset
ប្រាសាទភ្នំបាសិទ្ធ (Phnom Baset) is an ancient Khmer temple complex located in Cambodia, specifically in Kandal Province northwest of Phnom Penh. The temple sits atop a hill, as suggested by the name "Phnom" meaning "hill" or "mountain" in Khmer.
This temple complex dates back to the 7th-8th centuries during the pre-Angkorian period of Cambodian history. It was built during the Chenla period and dedicated to Hindu deities, primarily Shiva, as evidenced by the lingam (phallic symbol representing Shiva) found at the site.
The temple construction follows traditional Khmer architectural principles with brick towers and sandstone elements. Despite being less known than the more famous Angkor temples, Phnom Baset represents an important example of early Khmer temple architecture and provides valuable insights into the historical development of Cambodian religious structures.
The site continues to hold cultural and religious significance for local communities and serves as a reminder of Cambodia's rich architectural and religious heritage.

Early in the morning, we should travel to Knong Phsar mountain to see the beauty of the sunrise, accompanied by cool weather and fierce flying clouds. In the evening, we can also watch the sunset from the mountaintop. The scenery of the early morning forest, rich in animals and birds, makes tourists who climb to the top of the mountaintop forget all their worries and absorb the natural atmosphere when they reach the top of the mountain. The wind blows gently, looking far away, clouds flying over the dense forest, a new experience for tourists who have gone to enjoy the "natural paradise". Before reaching the top of the mountain, tourists encounter many difficulties through a journey of about 5 to 7 hours on foot.
