What are the famous scenic spots in Cambodia?

Cambodia has the following famous tourist attractions:

Angkor temple

The huge and well-preserved Angkor site is regarded as the representative of Angkor site.

beng mealea

Beng Mealea is a small temple in Angkor Wat style, which means "lotus pond". This temple is located 40 kilometers east of Angkor Wat. Beng mealea is a Hindu temple, but some of its sculptures reflect Buddhist themes. The original material for building this temple is sandstone, so many buildings have been damaged and it is difficult to repair. When you arrive in beng mealea, you will find that beng mealea today is very similar to that of foreign explorers when they discovered Angkor: the temple collapsed seriously, was covered by trees, and there was no way out. Without a guide, you have no idea how to get through this huge ruin. Friends who have seen the movie Tomb Raider must still remember Tabulong Temple. It feels strange, but beng mealea brings more shock. As you go deeper into the scenic spot where beng mealea is located, you will also find the plank road. This plank road is also related to a movie, which was built while filming the movie "Tiger Brother".

Ban Diez Ray

Banteay Srei, meaning "women's castle", is famous for its gorgeous colors and exquisite reliefs. It is said that it was built and carved by women. Banteay Srei, one of the "three major temples in Cambodia", was built in 967 under Rajindravaman II, and completed in 1002 under ChaYabar Man V. This Hindu temple is dedicated to Shiva, one of the three great gods of Brahmanism. Unlike other Angkor monuments, which use blue sandstone as the material, Ban Diez Lei uses a lot of red sandstone as the building material, which is extremely rich in color and is also conducive to carving complex and exquisite patterns.

ta prohm

Tabulong Temple, built in 1 186, is a temple dedicated to the mother by the ancient Angkor King. Its architectural style is the same as that of bayon temple, and it is a mysterious attraction in Angkor Wat. The whole temple is surrounded by dense trees, which have been entangled for thousands of years, just like the scene of fierce struggle between immortals and nature. With its unique romantic temperament, "In the Mood for Love" and "Tomb Raider" both chose this place as the shooting place, and you can also pursue a light and shadow memory when you come here to play. The tour route is suggested to enter from the east gate and exit from the west gate, and you can see the "dancer corridor" engraved with rows of fairy reliefs.

bayon temple

Bayon temple is located in the center of Angkor Wat, and its cloister is 160m long from east to west and 140m long from north to south. There used to be a wooden roof above the cloister, but because of its age, only ruins and huge stone pillars were left for future generations to mourn. It is worth mentioning that there are still rich and vivid sculptures preserved on the walls of the temple. All the ancient war accounts, the lives of ordinary people and the lakeside scenery of Tonle Sap Lake fully show the scene at that time, which is definitely a precious historical relic that cannot be seen. Vivid murals seem to tell distant stories. The famous Khmer Smile is located on the top floor of bayon temple. There are ***54 pagodas. Each pagoda has four faces, and each face has a different expression. There are ***2 16 different Khmer smiles.
