It is a weird sculpture of a golden lion pair. Being an artist I have been contemplating what drives grown-up people to commission and approve of such stylistically childish sculptures on a major city square? Of no definable style, not a caricature and nothing of a realistic intent, somewhere in between on a murky twilight of style and decorative intent. More

Why is this even reviewable? It's nothing to look at, it's not impressive. I don't understand why this is down as a landmark. More

The Golden Lions is a Sihanoukville landmark sitting in the middle of a Traffic Circle. It is rather distinctive, even if not the world's best sculpture of lions. I found it handy as a landmark as I made my way around that part of town. More

I get the feeling not many people look at this 'structure' for its non existent beauty, but use it as more of a meeting point. Its at the worst end of the area for bars restaurants hotels etc. More

Close to the golden lion you will find all the bars and shops that will satisfy your western wishes. From places to enjoy your beer to nightclubs, from cloth shops to 24/7 burger shacks. Not what cambodia is like, but what you could need for your party weekend. More

It is in the center of a driving circle. I drove around it daily. It is an interesting statute but offers no shade and no easy place to park. More
