Phnom Kong Rei

Phnom Kong Rei mountain reaches 310 meters in height, forming part of an isolated range stretching 4.5 kilometers along the Tonle Sap River.

Throughout history, Phnom Kong Rei served as a natural landmark for navigation and territorial identification in the Kampong Chhnang region of Cambodia.

Local folklore links the mountain's silhouette to a sleeping maiden named Kong Rei, with statues near the provincial hall depicting this legendary figure.

Visitors can reach the summit via the King's Path, with ferry service costing 1,000 riel from the mainland followed by local transportation options.

The mountain contains several caves at its base where Buddhist monks maintain a meditation space, marking it as a spiritual center in the province.
