Place and names

The Khmer name is តោពីរ; the English guide uses Golden Lions Roundabout. The source places the landmark at a traffic roundabout in central Sihanoukville and describes a paired gold-coloured male and female lion.

[1]

Appearance and symbolic interpretation

The guide reads the lions and pearl motif as symbols of strength, peace, good fortune and local natural abundance. These are cultural interpretations of the sculpture. Gold colouring and a pearl motif do not establish that the monument is made from gold or pearls.

[1]

Viewing and photography

The source suggests observing both the overall composition and its details. View and photograph from a safe position, without standing in the carriageway or crossing moving traffic for a photograph. Parking, admission charges and opening times are not confirmed on this page.

Its place in Sihanoukville Guide

The project introduction names Golden Lions Roundabout among places represented in the illustrated map, with place information and related travel content. The artwork adjusts proportions and positions: use the real place name to check an actual route rather than treating the illustration as road navigation.

Source dates and editions

The place guide was first published on 22 October 2026. This page uses the guide and project-introduction editions observed on 27 October 2026. That date is not a construction date for the monument or an asserted first-release date for the map.
