Cambodia: A Muslim woman sells meat in Kandal Market in the river area of downtown Phnom Penh, the capital of Buddhist Cambodia

Phnom Penh lies on the western side of the Mekong River at the point where it is joined by the Sap River and divides into the Bassac River, making a meet place of four great waterways known in Cambodian as Chatomuk or 'Four Faces'. It has been central to Cambodian life since soon after the abandonment of Angkor in the mid-14th century and has been the capital since 1866.
