It offers a fascinating glimpse into Asia’s past where grand civilizations thrived. Today we get to admire how these grand structures were constructed without modern technology, and the dedication to spirituality and royalty. Beyond Angkor, Siem Reap has lots of historical sites, cultural treasures, and a sleepy old town feel. There are also nightlife spots.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [one_half]<\/p>\n [\/one_half][one_half_last]<\/p>\n [one_half]<\/p>\n Cambodian cuisine is quite different (read: exotic) from dishes that you would normally find in most Southeast Asian countries.

The city offers so many places to see, eat, and its streets are renowned for intense traffic full of bikes. Travellers report that you just walk into traffic and the bikes will part — no traffic lights. That’s a unique experience in itself! The city is intense and fun itself, but you can easily do daytrips into nature as well.<\/p>\n [one_half]<\/p>\n [\/one_half]<\/p>\n [one_half_last]<\/p>\n [one_half]<\/p>\n The moment you set foot in this vibrant city, you should grab a taste of a steaming hot bowl of pho<\/em><\/strong>. This world-renowned combination of soft noodles in hot soup with either beef or chicken has made its way into the hearts (and bellies) of people all over the world.<\/p>\n Another Vietnamese soup that\u2019s a little less popular than pho <\/em>is bun bo hue<\/em><\/strong> which is characterised by its strong chilli and lemongrass flavour. It\u2019s laden with thick cuts of meat and its complicated flavour might overwhelm the inexperienced palate.<\/p>\n Banh mi<\/em><\/strong> is also a local favourite and is basically a Vietnamese baguette, inspired by its French colonial past.<\/p>\n [\/one_half][one_half_last]<\/p>\n Pho \/ CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 \/ <\/em>powerplantop<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n [\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n Dong Khoi<\/a> – <\/strong>For first-timers, we highly recommend staying at Dong Khoi Street in District 1.
