The opening hours are about 5: 00- 19: 00 Bakken Mountain.

Baheng is a hill in the main ruins of Angkor Wat, located at 1.5km northwest of Angkor Wat, with a height of 67m. It is the only commanding height nearby, and you can ride an elephant up the mountain. There is a relic of Angkor Temple on the mountain, which is the first national temple after Yasoraman I took the area near Angkor City as its capital, and laid the foundation for the later Angkor architecture. Although the Baheng Temple in Phnom Penh at the top of the mountain has long been dilapidated, it was the first temple built by the Khmer Dynasty when it moved its capital to Angkor, and it was called the "First Angkor". To the west of the mountain is the open Szybala, and to the southeast is Angkor Wat in the jungle. You can see the Thai-Cambodian border from here to the north. There is a rectangular trench 650 meters long and 436 meters wide outside Bakken Temple. Perhaps the waterproofing project of the old capital building in Rollos was used in the new building, symbolizing the Aral Sea around Mount Sumi, the center of the world in Indian mythology. The Bakken Temple was built on a flat roof. The Bakken Temple, built on the top of Bakken Mountain, reflects the Khmer people's worship of mountains at that time. This building, which symbolizes the whole universe, is full of symbols in design: the 7-story platform represents the first seventh heaven, and the top tower represents the center of the universe; 108 tower: in addition to the central tower, there are 108 small towers on the lower six floors, representing 108 days of four lunar phases; Tower 33: Looking at Bakken Temple from the central axis of each side, only 33 towers can be seen, representing 33 gods on Mount Sumi.

In Angkor Wat in Cambodia, there are thousands of relics of ancient civilization, including a seemingly fiery temple called "Women's Castle". Located in the west of Siem Reap Province, the "Women's Castle" was originally named "Bandesley", which means "seeking happiness" according to Cambodian translation, while the locals used to call it "Women's Palace", which was named after many statues of "Apsara" carved in the center of the temple. Actually call her "Bandesley" or "Women's Palace", because no matter what you call her, the splendor of this temple is indescribable. The Women's Palace, built in 967 AD, has also been buried in the jungle for hundreds of years. It was not until 19 14 that a French soldier named marek found her again. The whole temple is always separated by three walls. The outermost is Shen Dao, with two small temples on the left and right; Outside the second floor in the middle of the aisle is a moat; On the innermost floor, there is a main T-shaped temple. In front of her, there are two sutra depository. In the second wall, there are charming elves.

Zodiac Tower The Zodiac Tower is located at the front of the road leading to the Victory Gate of Angkor Wat, about 65,438+0,200 meters (3,937 feet) away from the ancient palace of Angkor Wat. You can get in and out from the east. The tower was ordered by Aldebaloma VII and completed at the end of 12. It belongs to the architectural style of Baiyun.

Zodiac Tower is called Zodiac Tower because different animals are carved on each tower, which is similar to the zodiac in China.

The Zodiac Tower is used to hold prisoners and make them repent. No wonder this tower is abstract and shapeless. You can't tell which is a dragon and which is a snake. Looking from the tower group again, it is facing the ruins of the Supreme Court, towering into the sky. It is conceivable that Khmer was dignified by the rule of law. The best travel time is 1 1 in the dry season and the rainy season from June to 10, respectively, which makes Angkor Wat take on two different faces, and try to avoid traveling in the hot season from March to May. Travel Tips: When traveling to Angkor Wat, try to avoid visiting at noon, and it is best to bring some sunscreen products, such as hats, umbrellas and sunscreen oil. In order to respect local customs, don't wear revealing clothes when entering Angkor Wat Temple, and try to wear long clothes and trousers.

Matters needing attention

Tickets: There are three kinds of tickets for Angkor: 20 dollars for one day, 40 dollars for three days and 60 dollars for seven days. Tickets for the next day will be sold at 5 pm, and you can go in and visit (the general choice is to go to Bakken Mountain to watch the sunset). But at 5: 30, tourists are not allowed to go up the mountain, so they can only go down the mountain alone. There are many people in line, so it's better to queue up at 4: 30 to watch the sunset.

Now, Angkor tickets do not need to bring their own photos. They were all taken with cameras at the scene and changed into printed paper tickets. Tickets for three or seven days should be properly kept. Before the tickets are made and sent to you, the conductor will read the relevant rules in English. There will be managers checking tickets at any time in the scenic spot. Once there is no ticket, they will be fined 80 dollars.

2. Safety: Many buildings in Angkor are very high, and the stairs are steep, narrow and slippery (with a lot of sand). Pay attention to safety and don't try to be brave. A pair of non-slip shoes that fit well is a must.

3, heatstroke prevention: Angkor is very hot at noon, it is best to rest in a cool temple or go back to the hotel. If you want to buy time, you can visit some scenic spots in the jungle, such as Ta Prohm, Preah Khan and Ta Som. Of course, you should bring enough water and food.

4. Prevention of mosquito bites: There are many mosquitoes and other tropical insects in the local area. You can buy anti-mosquito lotion at BOOTS drugstore. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is really useful. I heard that some tourists got malaria after being bitten by mosquitoes. We bought it at BOOTS Duty Free Shop on the 4th floor of Bangkok Airport when we were transferring in Bangkok. U CARE (similar to Watsons) and LUCKY supermarket in Siem Reap all sell such products.

5. Guide: If you rent a car, drivers are generally very experienced. You can also be a tour guide, telling the characteristics and history of various temples and temples, and taking you to some characteristic shooting spots. If you hire a professional Chinese tour guide, it will cost 20-25 USD/day, and you can also negotiate. However, the tour guide's itinerary and time are strictly arranged (07: 30am-12: 00pm,14: 30pm-18: 30pm).

6. Books: There are many guidebooks about Angkor, and Lonely Planet is very helpful for arranging the itinerary. The Chinese book is May in Cambodia written by Carmen, but it was published a few years ago after all, and many things have changed. In Angkor's market, you can buy very cheap pirated or second-hand Lonely Planet, and there are also many good-looking books, which cost about $ 4-6 each.

7. You will meet many begging children in Angkor. You can prepare some stationery, snacks (such as candy) or disposable toiletries from star-rated hotels for them before departure.

8. When entering temples and other places, don't wear slippers, shorts, short skirts, sleeveless tops, etc. Shoes should be light and fit, suitable for walking, and it is not advisable to wear newly bought shoes and high heels.
