Golden Lions Roundabout

Sihanoukville underwent dramatic changes. The skyline is very different. What remains are the beaches and these two giant golden lions that welcome visitors. One could almost feel the fierceness of these guards.

The golden lion represents power and status. Cambodia was also a strong country, the Angkor dynasty in the 9th to 14th centuries, the country was strong, the culture developed, creating the world-famous Angkor civilization. Cambodia has always been a monarchy country, the king is the supreme leader, the kingship is sacred in the hearts of the Cambodian people, and the golden lion is a symbol of power, so there is a very majestic golden lion sculpture in the center of Prince Sihanouk's hometown. It is also an iconic building.

Now it is the largest road intersection in Sihanoukville. The sculpture statue in the road is also a roundabout. The traffic in Xigang is very messy.... If you want to take pictures on the island, pay attention to a passing vehicle....

Terrific, smashing and splendid big gold livin it large lions. A must see for lovers of kitsch. The proportions are marvellous and the expressions endearing. They made me smile every time I saw them and that's what art should be about.

No need to see it in particular. It's near the wharf and the beach. When the weather is good, the two lions shine with gold, which is very beautiful, but the background is very messy. If you want to take pictures, it is also good. There are also many Chinese restaurants nearby, such as Grandma's home and Huarun Supermarket.

Sihanouk is not big. This is the city centre. The golden lion statue is well made. It shines golden in the night. There are a lot of lions beside it, one male and one female. Locals are walking and playing nearby, and there are many small restaurants around the square for meals.

When you come to Cambodia's landmarks, remember to check in: The Golden Lion Monument, built in 1996, is undoubtedly the first classic attraction in Sihanoukville. You want to come?
