Sihanoukville, Coastal city with deep-water port in southwestern Cambodia
The city extends along the Gulf of Thailand with white sand beaches, modern concrete buildings, and wide streets across an elevated peninsula.
The establishment of Sihanoukville began in 1955 with the construction of Cambodia's first and only deep-water port, leading to its official founding in 1957.
The architectural landscape combines New Khmer Architecture from the 1950s with contemporary structures, including designs by architect Vann Molyvann.
Visitors can access Sihanoukville via National Highway 4 from Phnom Penh, with the journey covering 232 kilometers through Cambodia's southern region.
The Ou Trojak Jet River flows through the area, bordered by mangroves, connecting Otres Pagoda to the Gulf of Thailand.
