Temple paintings drawn by light: Bakong Temple, a miracle that appears through the window frame

■Basic information Name: Bakong Location: Suburb of Siem Reap, Cambodia (part of the Roluos ruins) Access: Approximately 30 minutes by car or tuk-tuk from the city center Admission fee: Angkor ruins common ticket required #Bakong temple #Painting #Roluos ruins ■Travel report Among the Roluos ruins, Bakong temple was particularly impressive. My first impression was amazement at how well-organized and picturesque the place is. In addition to the historical grandeur, there is a "landscape like a painting in a picture frame" here. The main feature is the main body of Bakong at the tip of the tower gates on the east and west sides. The silhouette of the temple quietly emerges through the window frame, making it a piece of art drawn by nature and architecture. The angle of the light changes between morning and evening, and the scenery reflected changes its expression. The West Gate is enveloped in a soft golden light, while the East Gate is bathed in a refreshing light that shines straight through - both are guaranteed photo spots that will look great. The simple structure is a perfect blend of tranquility and grandeur. This is the perfect place for those who want to experience a "quietly moving view" that can only be found here while sightseeing in Siem Reap. Be sure to take a one-of-a-kind photo that combines historical heritage and light effects.
