Introduction to Kep town
Kep town is a famous beach town, located only about 20km from Xa Xia border gate (Kien Giang). This place was built by the French colonialists in 1908. From a pristine sea, Kep has sprouted many resorts, turning this place into a great vacation destination for French officials. The name “Kep” was also given by the French. Kep in French means “Le Cap” which means a cape jutting out into the sea.
However, later, the Khmer Rouge devastated Kep during their invasion and caused a bloody civil war in Cambodia. Many resorts that the French built were also destroyed by them. Here, only a few vestiges of a glorious past era remain.
Today, Kep town has had a tourism revival, becoming a popular beach destination. Many restaurants, resorts, markets,… are invested in and built to serve tourism. If you are looking for a peaceful beach town in Cambodia, don’t miss Kep beach! Standing in front of the sea, inhaling the scent of the sea, made me feel lighter. All the calculations and fatigue flew away.
The beauty of Kep beach
Kep beach is quite short, but enough to keep tourists exploring. The beach is quite clean, beautiful, gentle and strangely peaceful. Every day, there are people picking up pieces of trash caused by waves crashing onto the shore, so Kep beach is always airy. In addition, people here have a good sense of environmental protection. Whenever they see trash, they pick it up and put it in the basket immediately without ignoring it. People often come to Kep, in addition to swimming, but also to experience peace. Kep is a source of inspiration for artists, poets, and musicians who come here to write and dance with their brushes. Walking under the rows of phoenix trees stretching along Kep beach at dawn is very cool.
Around 5:00-6:00 a.m., a lot of people jog around the beach and breathe in the fresh air. From the statue of Srey Sor, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the sea. On the right side, 40km away, is Bokor National Park, called Ta Lon Mountain by the Vietnamese, with a green mountain range hidden in white clouds. On the left, in the distance is Koh Tonsay island (Rabbit Island), further away is Phu Quoc island, Hon Tre of Vietnam… Kep sea has waves that are not as strong as other seas but gentle and gentle like nature. of the people here.
