More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into a restored U.S. Army Jeep and the city opens in a low, rolling panorama: Khmer roofs, faded French facades and rice paddies that edge the dusty streets. The open-top ride lets the dry season wind push your hair back, and the guide points to a small shrine, a colonial balcony, then eases toward the War Museum — a compact, visceral collection that brings Cambodia’s recent history into focus.
