Is it safe to travel in the western port of Cambodia?
It is still relatively safe. As long as you don't go to casinos or illegal places, a simple holiday is very comfortable.
Tourist guide to ports in western Cambodia
West Nuha Port is the largest port in Cambodia, referred to as West Port for short. It is the second largest tourist city in Cambodia and the favorite tourist city of China people except Angkor Wat. Every year, most China tourists come to Gaolong Island, which is located on the coast of Longdao, to enjoy the sunny beaches and beautiful natural scenery here.
There are more than 300,000 Cambodians, most of whom live in Xigang, mainly because most of the enterprises here are founded by China. Compared with last year, the number of China workers in Westport has doubled this year.
With the continuous influx of people from China, the house price and rent here are getting more and more expensive, forcing local businessmen in Westport to leave here. Therefore, in Westport, all the rich people come from China, and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening.
It's not Las Vegas or Macau, but Westport is an enclave for China businessmen to open casinos. Cambodia also has regulations prohibiting illegal gambling, but underground casinos and online gambling are everywhere, which makes Xigang the city with the largest number of casinos in Cambodia.
In Xigang, China and Cambodia have specially designated a special economic zone. Most of the 100 enterprises in this area are from China. Cambodia invests billions of dollars in special economic zones every year, 90% of which comes from China. Many enterprises invested by China businessmen here are garment and household goods manufacturing. With the help of the duty-free port West Port, they continuously export China's manufactured goods to the world.
The development of enterprises in China has also increased local employment opportunities. The local per capita wage is 1.800 yuan per month, which ranks among the best in Cambodian per capita GDP. Their Cambodian workers can enjoy welfare annual leave in these China enterprises, which is also in line with the careless character of local people. Therefore, it is very decent for Cambodian natives to work in enterprises in China.
What's the local price in Westport? To tell the truth, it can be said that the price is higher than Phnom Penh, and it costs 20 yuan to eat a fast food. A friend who came to work in Xigang from China told us that the rent of a 50-square-meter house near their enterprise here is 300 dollars, which is equivalent to the rent of a house in Guangzhou, so many workers who come to work in Xigang require accommodation facilities, because the rent here is unaffordable for ordinary workers.
The development of China has also attracted many real estate investors to invest here. This year, domestic real estate speculators also joined the industry. In order to attract many tourists to invest in real estate here, many domestic tour groups are visiting Cambodia.
Is it really cost-effective to take domestic tourists to invest and buy a house in the western port of Cambodia? I believe everyone knows what others are saying. The development of Westport seems good, but who knows the real estate bubble?
Many people who come to ports in western Cambodia are most concerned about local security. In fact, it has been reported before that local China people died because of gambling in western ports. I think it's only their family that hurts their family.
I believe that the Buddhist Cambodians in Cambodia are generally good, and a few extremists are born in poverty and backward in education. Westport's education system ranks first in Cambodia.
A multi-disciplinary and multi-form vocational education system that promotes learning through industry, school-enterprise cooperation and social talent training is very popular in the local area, which makes many local Cambodians have books to read and can receive social continuing education and training.
Xigang's economy is still very developed in Cambodia. If you travel to Westport, it is safe to be a tourist on duty as long as you don't enter the casino.
