Angkor Trade Center, Siem Reap, Cambodia
Located in one of the busiest districts in Siem Reap, Angkor Trade Center is a thriving mall that has been serving the community since 2008. It is beautifully situated along the riverside and is close to the famous Old Market. The whole area covers around 10,000 square meters of space, which are mostly taken up by retail stores featuring clothing, cosmetics, and jewelry. There are many local and international dining options in this area, as well.
Tourists cannot go to Siem Reap without visiting the Angkor Wat – the world’s largest religious complex. Measuring about 160 hectares, this landmark used to be the crowning glory of the Khmer empire before it got toppled down. There are also many Hindu-Buddhist temples around the area, such as Angkor Baphuon and Angkor Bayon. Before visiting these landmarks, tourists are encouraged to first drop a visit to the Angkor National Museum to learn about the rich history of the places that they will visit. Steung Siemreap Hotel is a strategically located accommodation next to Pub Street. Those who stay here will be welcomed with homey French-colonial styling, which is perfect for relaxation. For a more modern atmosphere, tourists may want to consider staying at G&Z Urban Hotel. Despite being a budget-friendly lodging, it offers an outdoor pool where guests can relax after a tiring day of going around the city. Those who would like to take a break from seeing the ruins at Siem Reap can travel by bus to Sihanoukville and lounge at its pristine beaches.
