M32***66:“Perhaps the true sense of desolation left by the fading prosperity of Angkor lies in the power of time. Beauty, in fact, is a silhouette of history captured in the fading afterglow of the setting sun; it is a truly breathtaking beauty.”

Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom, also known as Angkor Thom, was built in the 9th century and covers an area of nearly 9 square kilometers. It was the capital built by King Jayavarman VII and the last capital before the end of the glorious era of Angkor civilization. According to the description of "Records of Cambodia" by Zhou Daguan, an envoy of the Yuan Dynasty, Angkor Thom was prosperous and bustling at the end of the 13th century, with magnificent buildings, which was no less impressive than the cities of the Yuan Dynasty in China at that time.
Angkor Thom has a total of five gates, with Buddha statues carved on all four sides of the gates. There is a long row of stone statues on both sides of the gates, which is a famous attraction in itself. There are many Angkor ruins scattered in Angkor Thom, the more famous ones are Bayon, Baphuon, Phimeanakas, Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King.
At the south gate of Tsurugi Castle, the path leading to the gate crosses the moat. The bridge is crowded with people. From afar, you can see the iconic stone-carved human-faced tower smiling at the four directions above the gate of Tsurugi Castle. As soon as you step onto the path, you can see the head of the Naga snake god standing tall. The long rope-like body of the Naga snake god runs through the entire path. There are two rows of stone statues evenly distributed on both sides, each with 27 2.5-meter-high kneeling stone busts lined up in a row. On one side are the gods, and on the other side are the Asuras, and the two sides are wrestling fiercely. The most interesting thing is that the facial expressions of the statues on both sides of the path are completely different. The statue on the left is a good god, with kind eyes and a smile on his face; the statue on the right is an Asura, with eyes wide open and a fierce look. Because of his ferocious face, he is called the evil god.”

无为的无心草:“The Bayon stupas are a key architectural feature of Cambodia's Bayon Temple, boasting a unique artistic style and profound religious and cultural significance. The following provides a detailed introduction:
Overall Layout and Number
Bayon is home to a vast array of 54 stupas, varying in size and height. These 54 stupas represent the 54 provinces ruled by Jayavarman VII during the heyday of the Angkor Empire, symbolizing the Buddha's light illuminating the entire empire. At its center stands a gilded, circular pagoda, built on a two-story hollow platform. Surrounding it are 48 pagodas of varying sizes, forming a pyramidal structure.
Exterior Design
● Four-Faced Buddha Carvings: Each stupa is crowned with a massive four-faced Buddha statue. These statues represent the four great virtues of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Each of the 216 Buddha faces is unique, but all possess draped eyes, symbolizing freedom from worldly desires. Their slightly upturned lips reveal a mysterious and tranquil smile, known as the "Khmer smile." They offer a 360-degree, unobstructed gaze upon every corner of their surroundings.
● Religious Symbolism: Bayon Temple is a Buddhist temple, its overall structure modeled after Mount Sumeru, the legendary highest point in Buddhism (Hinduism also has Mount Sumeru, with details differing but largely similar). The stupa's layout and form embody the religious concept of the close connection between the Buddha in heaven and the human race on earth.
Construction Craftsmanship
The stupa is constructed of stone. Despite the age-worn remains, its intricate carvings still reveal the exquisite craftsmanship and high artistic standards of its time.”

Dr BP:“This is one of my favorite Angkor temples. It is a little far away from the main group - perhaps 15km. As a result, it is quite quiet. Very well preserved. A fun drive to get there too through villages, rice fields etc.”

Ta Prohm
Ta Prohm Temple was built in 1186. It is a temple dedicated by the ancient Angkor king to his mother. Its architectural style is the same as Bayon Temple. "In the Mood for Love" and "Tomb Raider" both chose this place as a filming location. The main feature is the tree-wrapped tower. The whole temple is surrounded by dense trees, entangled for thousands of years. The roots of the ancient trees penetrate into the stone texture of the temple and merge with the temple.”

Anonymous user:“It's good to preview the background and history of Angkor Wat before going to Angkor Wat. There are also Chinese video explanations, which are very good. The route design of the entire tour is also very good, and you will not walk the same way or walk around without direction.”

长脸张少侠:“【Preah Khan Temple】
Preah Khan Temple is a major temple in Angkor, Cambodia, built in the 12th century during the reign of Jayavarman VII. It is located in the northeast of Angkor Thom. According to legend, the temple was built by Jayavarman VII in memory of his father.
Preah Khan Temple was renovated from 1927 to 1932. It was built by Jayavarman VII in the 12th century to worship his father. It is said that when the great city of Angkor Thom was being built, this place became the king's temporary residence, where he held pilgrimages and read books. There is an inscription in the temple, written by Jayavarman VII's son.
Preah Khan Temple is large in scale, with a rectangular wall 800 meters long and 700 meters wide. There are four ways leading to the temple. At the entrance of the temple stand several Shuras and Asuras holding long snakes to churn the ocean of milk. On the east and west sides, there is a long sandstone lotus wall. There used to be Buddha statues on the lotus, but they were destroyed when the Shiva faction presided over it.”

Opening hours: 07:30-17:30
超级ctt:“I totally agree with going to places like this to learn about a country's history, no matter how challenging it may be. The exhibit is outside of town, not too far of a drive, and it only takes 30-60 minutes to walk through the entire exhibit. The main feature is the mine display, with 6 rooms spread out in a central area, each with displays, information and stories about the country's history. The man who founded the museum dedicated his life to finding and removing mines and bombs left over from many wars. I had not realized the impact that the Vietnam conflict had on Cambodia. The guides are all volunteers (you can volunteer), and our guide lost his leg 20 years ago while playing near his home. Admission is $5, but you have to understand that it is for a great cause. You do see a lot of people with missing limbs in and around town, and this place makes you understand things that you wouldn't understand in town.”
