Angkor Wat | A glance at a thousand years, the smile of Khmer

| A glance at a thousand years, the smile of Khmer. What Angkor Wat is like, only after you have experienced this mysterious journey, shocked by the mystery of the ancient ruins, conquered by the art of architectural sculpture. . The small circle is the most essence and exciting route among the three routes, the relative distance between the points is relatively close, including Little Angkor (i.e., Angkor Temple to watch the sunrise), Big Angkor (i.e., Tongwang City, including Bayon Temple, Baphuon Temple, Sky Palace and other attractions), Bakheng Mountain to watch the sunset. . Small circle tour route: Bayon Temple—Baphuon Temple—Sky Palace — Elephant Battle Platform Leprosy King Platform—Ta Keo Temple—Zhou Sa Temple — Thommanon Temple—Banteay Kdei Temple—Angkor Temple . 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.
