Lychee Mountain is more than 480 meters above sea level and is one of the holy places for Khmer people. In 802 AD, Jayavarman II ascended the throne here, proclaiming his independence from Java, and today's Cambodian Kingdom was born. Litchi Mountain was formerly known as Bajiao Mountain. When Zhou Daguan, an envoy of the Yuan Dynasty in China, came to visit here, he scattered the lychee seeds he carried on the mountain, and later grew into a large lychee forest, hence the name Litchi Mountain. There is a small temple, Preah Ang Thom, on the top of Litchi Mountain, which is made of huge boulders and is naturally rough. There is a 9-meter-long stone reclining Buddha in the temple. There is also a famous waterfall, Pole Ang Thong, next to it, and above the waterfall is a smaller swimming area, where the riverbed has a large number of carvings, including countless linga. During holidays, there are many Khmers who come to have a picnic next to the waterfall.
