💜 Wat Phnom Temple is located at the top of Wat Phnom, where a Buddha stupa about 30 meters tall majestically sits atop the hill, adding to its grandeur. At the foot of the hill is a small, tranquil, and elegant park for citizens to rest. At the entrance, you can see the sculpture of a seven-headed serpent, symbolizing 'good weather for the crops'. In fact, this seven-headed serpent is called 'Naga' and is considered a sacred symbol of the origins of the Cambodian nation and a protective deity of the kingdom's prosperity.
🧡 The legend of Wat Phnom: It is said that in the 14th century, a woman named 'Penh' found a Buddha statue that had drifted along the Mekong River due to a flood. She built a small hill, constructed a temple to worship it, and gradually developed it into a bustling town. In the 15th century, the capital of the country was moved from Angkor to this place, officially named 'Phnom Penh', meaning 'the hill of Lady Penh'. The local Chinese community calls it 'Phnom Penh', which may also be one of the origins of the city's name.
