ODONGK or UDONG (OUDONG) was one of our side trips from Phnom Penh. Located about 1 hour west of Phnom Penh & off Route #5, the Royal city of Udong was once the capital of Cambodia from early 17th century to 1866.
The excellent countryside landscape around this area warrants a trip to this region if one wants to discover the simplicity of rural living in Cambodia. Several temples & stupas adorned the 3 hills, one of which is the Udong Hill. These hills were once the site of some of Khmer Rouge's most prolonged resistance against the Vietnamese army in late 70s. |
