Phnom Cheung Prey, which has a long history and beautiful scenery, has become a popular destination for tourists. It is located in Rovieng village, Rovieng commune, Chueng Prey district, about 56 kilometers west of Kampong Cham provincial town. It is only 2 kilometers off National Road 7, on a gravel trail.

Most visitors who visit Phnom Cheung Prey believe that the hill has a magical object. Local villagers are very superstitious about the hill, and they pray at the temple on the top of it. Mr Meun Met, a 40-year-old astrologer and traditional medical practitioner, said that, based on his observations, most visitors come from Phnom Penh, while only a few come from Kampong Cham provincial town and nearby districts. Most of these people, Meun Met said, come for medical treatment and to pray to the spirits, such as Neakta Krahom Ko.
Phnom Cheung Prey was divided into two hills. The eastern hill is called Phnom Srei or Phnom Thom, and the western hill is called Phnom Pros or Phnom Preah Bat. They are about 500 meters apart.

On Phnom Srei, sits an ancient temple made of laterite and built in 12th century. All but about 30 percent of the temple has been destroyed. The hill is accessible by three sets of stairs-on the north, the south and the east side. Phnom Srei is 40 meters high, while Phnom Pros in only 30 meters. Cars can travel to the top of Phnom Pros.
According to Khmer folklore, the story of how Phnom Srei and Phnom Pros came to be is similar to the story of Phnom Pros and Phnom Srei in Kampong Siem district. In both cases, men and women competed to see who could build the taller hill. In this story, however, the place where the women dug the earth to build their hill became a big pond called Srah Teuk Preah, which can hold water for the entire year. Meanwhile, the place where the men dug the earth to build their hill became a big pond that holds no water. That pond is called Srah Kampeng Sanguot. It is said that Srah Kampeng Sanguot has no water because the women put a curse on it.

Next to Srah Teuk Preah is another pond, 50 meters square and 4 meters deep. It is called Srah Leang Cheung because before climbing the hill, people wash their feet there.
There are many objects on the hill, including a Buddha’s footprint stone, which Buddhists believe to be a magical object; Key Neang Teav stone, Stone of Ta Preng’s footprint, Khun Chhang’s place, and west of the cave there is a stone hole called Ronlor Ta Preng. There is also a rampart made of laterite that encircles the hill. At one time, the rampart was 4 meters wide and 6 meters long on each side, but now only parts remain.
