From Phnom Penh Palace, walk along Lake Donglisa to Unalong Temple for about 15 minutes, not far north of the Phnom Penh National Museum, is a rare large temple in Cambodia that can be accessed without tickets. Unalong Temple is the largest temple in Cambodia and accepts countless poor young people from all over Cambodia to study and study the Khmer culture, thereby better preserving the Khmer culture. So visitors can see the scenes of monks, reading, and discussing here, which is a good opportunity to get in touch with monks. Due to the ancient history of the Monastery, it has become the headquarters of the Cambodian National Church (Buddhist) organization. The temple contains the eyebrows of an ancient unknown saint, "Unalong" means "Holy eyebrows". There are the largest pagodas in Phnom Penh, and there are five smaller pagodas around it. In 1890, the monastery hosted a collection of Buddha's ashes from Sri Lanka and was dedicated to the pagoda; Then the nobles buried the ashes there, so that the ashes were standing around.

Built in 1441, the temple was rebuilt in 1979 and accepted countless poor young people across Cambodia to study and study the Khmer culture, thereby better preserving the Khmer culture.

    In the north of the National Museum, a few minutes'walk away from the National Museum, free of tickets, I arrived at more than 8 o'clock today. There were not many visitors. There was a main temple. I saw several girls of high school students coming in and I followed them. Only then did I find a Lama telling their fortunes. I thought I didn't understand Cambodian and left. When I saw another temple coming in, I also went in. Some Buddha statues were written outside with donations. I donated 10,000 riles. There was also an exhibition hall. There was a big golden bell outside. There was a Chinese-Amitabha Buddha on it. There was also a golden stick that could hit the golden bell. Those who wanted to donate money and those who did not want to donate money could go and see it.

    It is said to be the oldest temple in Phnom Penh. The buildings and Buddhist statues are relatively new. It can be seen that they have been repaired many times. There are monks and pilgrims in the temple, and incense is also very strong. It's cool to sit in the second-floor corridor. You need to take off your shoes when you go to the temple. There are no crowds of tourists, but more temples.
