At the summit of Phnom Sampeau, near Battambang, a line of golden Buddhas line up gracefully under their protective umbrellas. Each of these finely sculpted statues reflects the serenity and spirituality that permeate this sacred site. The bright yellow parasols protect the figures from the scorching Cambodian sun and add a touch of elegance to this timeless procession. Phnom Sampeau is an emblematic site, combining nature and history, with caves steeped in memory and panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The calm that reigns here invites contemplation and meditation, offering visitors a moment of contemplation in front of these perfectly aligned statues. At dawn or dusk, the golden light sublimates the Buddhas even more, accentuating the spiritual atmosphere of the site. A must for lovers of culture, grandiose landscapes and places steeped in mysticism.
