What landmark stood out in Phnom Penh’s skyline before the gleaming skyscrapers arrived? Right before you stands that very edifice: Sorya Mall. Built in 2002, Sorya Mall wasn’t just a shopping center. It was Phnom Penh’s first taste of a Western-style mall. Imagine the excitement when it opened its doors, ushering in a new era for the city. Sorya Mall quickly became a social hub. For many Cambodians, this was their first encounter with escalators, a novelty in itself. Today, the mall remains a beloved destination. It continues to draw crowds with its variety of shops and affordable prices. The mall’s rooftop terrace offers another hidden gem. From here, you can soak in panoramic views of Phnom Penh, a vista that captures the city’s evolving skyline. Sorya Mall might have been the first, but its place in Phnom Penh’s heart remains secure. It stands as a testament to the city’s progress, a charming echo of a simpler time in a rapidly modernizing landscape.
