Bayon Temple: The famous smile of Khmer is located on the top of Bayon Temple, with a total of 54 pagodas, each pagoda has four faces, each face has different expressions, a total of 216 different Khmer smiles.
Baphuon Temple: The entire temple has 5 layers of base, on the 5th layer of base is built a huge stone tower wrapped in copper skin, which is higher than the golden tower in the center of Bayon Temple in the southeast, with a very wide view.
Sky Palace: Although not as well preserved and famous as Angkor Wat, it is still an important milestone in the history of Khmer architectural art. It is the predecessor of Angkor Temple.
Ta Keo Temple: It is a Vajrasana tower-style temple in the Angkor ruins of Cambodia, located east of Angkor City and northwest of Ta Prohm Temple, this is the first full sandstone building in Khmer.
Thommanon Temple: The architectural form is exactly the same as Zhou Sa Temple, and the location is also symmetrical. Although small, the basic structure is the same as Angkor Temple, which can be regarded as a miniature model.
Angkor Temple: It is the representative building of the peak period of Angkor art, and is the best preserved Angkor relic, regarded as the representative of the Angkor site group.
Tips:
①Because Little Angkor is the most classic place to watch the sunrise, so there are more people. It is recommended to leave for Little Angkor to watch the sunrise at 4:30 in the morning, and you need to enter Little Angkor around 5 o'clock.
②There are many attractions in Angkor Wat where you cannot wear sleeveless tops and too short skirts/pants to enter.
Be sure to buy online in advance, the on-site ticket office is not at the gate of the scenic spot, wasting time. Many attractions have to be checked. European and American tourists are basically physical tickets, hanging on their necks, indicating that travel online shopping is not developed there.
Nice place. It is ancient Hindu temple but now it is Buddha temple. you can go for it. It is very ancient temple.
