Cambodia Vacation

- A typical Cambodian vacation resort is located near " Woman's Mountain".

One brand-new Cambodian tourist resort has just been boosted! Woman's Mountain located about 400 Kilometers from Phnom Penh. This resort is one of the most attractive resorts of Mondolkiri province, a province famed for its ethnic domination.

The name " Woman's Mountain" comes from the physical appearance of the hill! This mountain looks like a woman sleeping upright with her point to the sky. This mountain's original name was 'Chi Hove Hill', but was then renamed ' Woman's Mountain' in 1961. The reason for changing her (the resort's name) is dependent on what stated above; her physical appearance. Not only for the purpose of entertainment, Mondolkiri's inhabitants believe that this mountain also embraces divine power. Every year Pnong ethnic group (one of the ethnic groups, inhabited in Mondolkiri province) takes buffalo and their own wine to donate to holy-power-holders, so that they can wish for lucks, fortunes, merits'Šetc. This is one of the most spectacular ceremonies.

- Legends of the mountain

'Woman's' mountain has her unique story of why she has such a name. The story runs as follow: Long ago, there was a man named Sroh and a woman named Plom. Two of them are engaged to one another. Two of them, without reason, vanished in this mountain in different times. Plom's disappearance happened when she went to get the water in one pond to be used in celebrating 'Rice Ceremony'. Her family tried really hard to get her back, by discovering everywhere and preying for god. And her future husband, Sroh, also vanished while finding the logs.

Many years after, while Plom's parents were logging near the pond (that Plom got lost), they found Plom and Sroh talking with one another. Her parents took them back home. But we don't have information about what happened when two of them were losing. After the family reunion, the domestic inhabitants started to call the mountain: ' Sroh-Plom Mountain'. And later one, that mountain is called 'Woman's' mountain, until today, without precise reason.

Due to Cambodia's lack of resource centers and scholars, I know that this story lacks too much useful information to make it easy to understand and reasonable. Much more information must be discovered by related institution, individuals and even I, myself.
