Anlong Veng is a district in Oddar Meanchey, a Northern province in Cambodia. Not too busy, accommodating and flashy, here is regarded as a memorial and tourist site which introduces to tourists the latter days of the Khmer Rouge Revolutions in Cambodia. Anlong Veng is an appropriate spot with anyone who is a history buff.
Not really a solemn resting place, Pol Pot’s Tomb is just a very old and simple grave with a raggedy corrugated iron roof over a man-sized rectangle and fenced by simple wooden and cement piles. There is also a simple guide board before entering this place. It could be pretty bizarre, but here is the cremation place of the most important people during the darkest history in Cambodia.
Ta Mok is another important people in Khmer Rouge Revolutions as well. His house now has become Anlong Veng Museum, the place displays photos and remnants of Khmer Rouge as well as remains old kinds of stuff when Ta Mok’s family lived here. There are beautiful lotus lakes beside both his old house and his grave, which has a better look than Pol Pot’s.
