There are many ways to get to Cambodia from Vietnam, including air lane and road. From HCM City, going to Cambodia by road is the most economical and enjoyable.

3. Owning attractive tourist destinations:

Maybe one of the biggest reasons for urging visitors to Cambodia is Angkor Archeological Park including ancient buildings which were forgotten, located in the forest for 800 years until discovered.  The most famous representative, the symbol of Cambodia is Angkor Wat Temple. Besides, there is a series of temples across the country that may take a whole week to visit all.

Although most of Western tourists know about Angkor Wat, others are impressed and desperate to come to Cambodia due to Ta Prohm, a temple chosen as the main background for blockbuster movie “The Tomb” which had Angelina Jolie starring. Coming to Ta Prohm, everyone is silent watching the huge roots of ancient trees fall from the top of the temple. No wonder why visitors admire Ta Prohm when seeing that mysterious, magnificent view.
