Top spire of landmark Oudong white stupa housing Buddha relics, Cambodia

A half a day trip from Phnom Penh to the 17th-19th century Cambodian capital Oudong took us thousands of steps up the prominent Phnom Oudong on top of which stand the royal stupa graves. This newer and more architecturally impressive white stupa on the way to the ancient tombs, is said to house relics from Buddha himself, although it appears to only rarely open to the public. The exterior decorations and details are nonetheless impressive.
