============= Story About a Journey Inside Cambodia ===========

There are thousands of beautiful places in the gold-made country of Cambodia. In this country, visitors can take a day tour to the places they want. And for me, I love traveling to different places. Recently, I paid a visit to Phnom Chiso temple. Let me describe the location and some aspects of this place to you all in detail.
Phnom Chiso was built by King Suryavarman I in the early 11th century. Phnom Chiso is a 130-meter-high mountain. It is located in Rovieng commune, Samraong district, Takeo province, Cambodia. If you are on national road 2 from Phnom Penh, you just travel south for around 45 kilometers and turn left, then continue for another 15 kilometers; you will see the mountain on the left. That mountain is Chiso mountain, and the temple is on the top of it.
When I arrived there, I climbed the south side staircase, which has around 400 steps. When I reached the top of Phnom Chiso, I saw a really beautiful landscape. When I looked down from the top of Phnom Chiso, I saw a lot of green trees, a vast plain of surrounding rice fields, and countryside. Moreover, I got to see one of the most magnificent ancient temples, which was built over decades. This temple attracts thousands of visitors every year, especially during the national holidays like Khmer New Year or Phchum Ben Days. Thus, I must say it is really worth seeing.
Furthermore, the food and services there are also very good. Phnom Chiso has a lot of delicious foods at affordable prices. My favorite dishes there are grilled chicken with green tamarind sauce, sweet and sour soup with beef, grilled fish with green mango salad, and so on. Plus, the sellers there are all very friendly. They always have a smile on their faces when they meet someone, and the way they talk to the clients is really polite and sweet. Not only that, on the way to the staircases, there are also some drinks and snacks that the visitors can buy in case they are tired or thirsty. Therefore, if you come to visit this, you do not need to prepare any food in advance, but just money.
To cut a long story short, Phnom Chiso is one of the best tourist places that I have visited without having any regret. I mean, I can get to see our ancient temple, which is one of the masterpieces our forefathers built. Moreover, I can eat a lot of tasty foods at affordable prices. Personally, I felt very released and happy after I paid a visit to Phnom Chiso. All of my stresses were killed out. I will visit this temple again if I have time. Finally, I would like to recommend this tourist spot to all of those who love nature and are looking for a place to visit or looking for great places to take photos and post on social media.
