Battambang is a city on the Sangkae River in northwestern Cambodia. It’s known for colonial buildings such as Sala Khaet, the former Governor’s Residence. Battambang Provincial Museum has artifacts from local Khmer temples. Nearby, Phare Ponleu Selpak is a circus and performing arts school for underprivileged children.
North of the center are the ruins of Ek Phnom, an 11th-century pagoda with sandstone carvings. West of town, Banan is a hilltop temple with 5 towers, dating from the Angkor period.
The mountain temple complex Phnom Sampeau has far-reaching views. Caves within the mountain contain Buddhist shrines, and were used by the Khmer Rouge regime as killing caves. Farther west, Kamping Puoy reservoir was built by prisoners of the Khmer Rouge and is now a popular picnic area. The “bamboo train," a small bamboo platform on wheels, runs on a stretch of narrow-gauge railway line between Battambang and nearby villages, transporting people and goods.
