Review & FAQ:

Neak Pean is a collection of pools and artificial islands that was originally built in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII for healing and medicinal purposes. Many believe that Neak Pean represents a mystical lake in the Himalayas believed to cure all illnesses. At present, visitors will be able to see the Buddhist temple on the circular manmade island within the pond. Neak Peak was once the location where princesses made their offerings and though many of the carvings and statues are no longer visible, the site is still a beautiful way to experience Cambodia.
