Angkor Wat in Cambodia has a rich historical origin and cultural background. Is it worth seeing?

Angkor Wat is a treasure of Cambodia and the earliest Khmer architectural complex in the world. If you are interested in ancient history and culture, it is well worth seeing.

It's good in these places:

Women's palace The reliefs in the temple are exquisite and bright, noble and generous, giving people a fantastic illusion, just like carefully carved jewelry, even the smallest details are beautifully carved and decorated. I held my breath and went into the palace for fear of disturbing the gods who had been sleeping for thousands of years.

Tabul Temple, a deduction in Hollywood movies, adds special charm to this place. The towering ancient trees are closely connected with the surrounding stones, and it seems that life and death are intertwined. Dense trees are covered with sunshine, and entering a temple is like entering a maze.

Bayon temple. It is worth mentioning that the walls of the temple still retain rich and vivid sculptures. Every description of the ancient war, the lifestyle of ordinary people and the lakeside scenery of Tonle Sap Lake fully show the scene at that time. This is definitely a precious historical site that can't be ignored. The vivid murals seem to tell a long story.

The temples, pillars, walls and lintels of Angkor Wat are carved with murals, decorations and even scriptures. The reliefs on the first floor are 800 meters long, some are telling the history of the Khmer Rouge, some are preaching the achievements of the king, and there are countless buddhas and fairies. The walls around the tower are covered with reliefs of 2000 life-size dancing fairies. These fairies are so lifelike that tourists are amazed.

Beng mealea is a Khmer-style temple, belonging to an Indian temple, but some of its sculptures reflect the theme of Buddhism. Originally, the materials used to build temples were sandstone, so many buildings were destroyed and it was difficult to recover. So for tourists, this scenic spot is the most precious legacy left in history. You need a guide to visit here, because there are too many paths and it is easy to get lost.
