監獄博物館

金邊景點人氣榜第4名

金邊天氣為熱帶氣候，受泰國灣與印度洋高氣壓影響十分濕熱。行走在酷熱的街頭上，你會覺得燥熱難安，而金邊卻有一個陰森恐怖的地方，即使在炎炎夏日也會讓你不寒而慄。 金邊是柬埔寨首都，可這個首都在我們夜間抵達的時候卻給人一種一片黑乎乎的感受，很多店鋪在七八點就已經關門了，路邊的人行道停滿了摩托，不得不走到了街上。街上也滿是碎石子和灰塵，如果不是看到兩棟比較高的建築，直觀上只覺得這與國內二三線相當，和越南的順化差不多。 金邊是柬埔寨的首都，是柬埔寨王國的首都，50年前的“東方巴黎”。經過近半個世紀的戰火侵襲，這裡已經失去了往日風韻，顯得殘破而貧瘠。

This is not an easy place to visit and if you are squeamish you should perhaps give it a miss. However it is an integral part of the recent history of Cambodia and together with Choeung Ek should certainly be on the itinerary of anyone who wishes to learn about the horror the country went through 45 years ago. Coming here is a powerful and unforgettable experience and your mind will be numbed by the sheer brutality and inhumanity of what went on as well as the enormous scale of the barbarity. The audio commentary is highly recommended and achieves a fine balance between informativeness and sensitivity. It can also serve as a warning about the dangerous consequences of more powerful nations disrupting the indigenous political processes of smaller countries, which we see continuing elsewhere in the world to this day. #givethanks #givethanks
