Kampong Chhnang

Many people believe Kampong Chhnang is the most beautiful of Cambodian provinces. Kampong Chhnang's main industries are fishing and rice growing, but it is most known for its pottery. In Khmer, chhnang means pot. With a lobster fishing industry thriving in the area, be sure to visit one of the local restaurants to sample some! Kampong Chhnang has a fabulously quaint French Quarter, complete with shady boulevards and large gardens that compliment the crumbling but still stately colonial structures. Even during the colonial times, this city was an important stopping point between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
