Straddling the narrow water system of the Siem Reap River and stretching outward from the center, Siam is still a small town to explore and have cheap accommodation scattered throughout the city.

Xiao Yang told Zhou Sen: "This is related to the increasing number of tourists who come to Cambodia, in order to meet the needs of tourists, many places have opened hotels, and there is no Cambodia as old and backward as the Chinese people imagine, and the tourism industry is still developing well." ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "Yes, I came to Cambodia also changed my understanding of Cambodia, before I came, I thought that Cambodia's economy was very backward, many places are inconvenient, transportation is inconvenient, accommodation is inconvenient, only to find out after coming, transportation is still possible, accommodation is also very convenient." ”

"The road from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh is in ideal conditions, which makes the journey very comfortable, and the road is still well built to ensure travel, but the road west to Sisophon and Poipet is still very bumpy," says Xiao Yang. ”

"Tourists who come to Cambodia are interested in the relatively low price of tourism, and it is very convenient to travel by bus. ”

"If we talk about hostels, we have also stayed in a hostel that offers a wide variety of bright, clean and airy rooms to choose from depending on the needs of our guests. ”

Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen to the hotel, the environment is also very good, clean and elegant, outside the guest room is a swaying pond and a courtyard full of plants, and the hammock under the thatched roof swaying is extremely leisurely.

"I'm really satisfied with this place, I've been to other places before, I've been to many countries for interviews, I think the rooms here are pretty good, although not so luxurious, but the standard rooms are bright and airy, with beautiful silk wall curtains, woven pillowcases and wicker wardrobes. ”

"It can basically meet my accommodation requirements, I'm not picky, just sleep on it!"

"Can you tell us about our cooperation with Cambodia?"

Wei Wei nodded, "The Belt and Road Initiative between China and Cambodia will further promote the deepening of cooperation with Cambodia under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, which can not only promote the construction of the China-Indochina Peninsula Economic Corridor, but also provide important support for the extension of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road to the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific." ”

"The significance is very significant, as a Chinese, I also feel very happy and proud, strengthening the coordination and cooperation between the two countries in the international multilateral mechanism, working together to build an unbreakable China-Cambodia community with a shared future, and the concept of building a China-Cambodia community with a shared future will inject new impetus into Cambodia's economic development and narrow the development gap between Southeast Asian countries." ”

"Cambodia's many development challenges coincide with the opportunities of the Belt and Road Initiative, and China-Cambodia cooperation has great potential. ”

"Today I will take you to see some of the projects that China and Cambodia have cooperated in the field of infrastructure in recent years, and the two countries have carried out extensive cooperation in the field of infrastructure, and the achievements have been remarkable. ”

"China has increased its investment in Cambodia to help Cambodia develop its economy, building a new airport in Siem Reap and the Phnom Penh-Westport Expressway, and a number of banks have provided financing services for new projects such as the Sihanoukville Power Plant, the Lower Samsai River Hydropower Station, and the Cambodian Petrochemical Company refinery. ”

"The Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone, jointly developed by the two countries, has successfully attracted more than 100 international companies and created more than 10,000 jobs. ”

"To deepen cooperation in production capacity and help the transformation and upgrading of Cambodia's industrial structure, the two countries have strong cooperation intentions and extensive cooperation space in the fields of farmland and water conservancy, transportation and communications, energy transportation and other infrastructure. ”

"Cambodia is in the middle and low end of the international division of labor value chain, its main export products added value is low, the key to solving the problem of Cambodia's economic structure is to achieve the transformation and upgrading of its own industry, it happens that China and Cambodia are highly complementary in the field of production capacity cooperation, complement each other. ”
