Chankiri Tree, Memorial tree in Choeung Ek, Cambodia
The Chankiri Tree stands tall with gnarled branches and an extensive root system within the grounds of the Choeung Ek Memorial Center.
Between 1975 and 1979, this tree became a central location for executions during the Khmer Rouge regime under Pol Pot's leadership.
Local residents leave ribbons and small offerings near the tree base as part of traditional remembrance practices for those who lost their lives.
Visitors can reach the tree through guided tours departing from Phnom Penh, with multilingual guides providing detailed historical information throughout the visit.
The tree's bark displays visible marks and indentations that serve as physical evidence of the events that occurred during the Cambodian genocide.
