Today not many crow as second day of New Year. My mom and I have bough lotus flower to salute to Buddhist on hill. We are also went Chinese hermitage near the Buddhist temple to get a good fortune from Chinese guardian spirit. Wat Phnom is a small hill crowned by an active pagoda marks the legendary founding place of the Phnom Penh. Legend has it that in 1372 Lady Penh fished a floating KOKI tree out of the river. Inside the tree were four Buddha statues. She built a hill (phnom) and a small temple (wat) at what is now the site known as Wat Phnom.
