Everyone who travels to Cambodia is directed at the buildings in the Angkor Tongwang City. The temples in the Wangcheng are very attractive, but in fact, the entrance of the Angkor Tongwang City is also full of stories, which is the most well-preserved city gate.

    The south gate of Greater Angkor City is the main passage for tourists to Greater Angkor City. Zhou Daguan once recorded that "there is a big stone Buddha head five above the gate, facing the west. One is in the middle, decorated with gold. Two sides of the gate, the stone is pictogram." It can be seen that the south gate was very magnificent at that time, symbolizing the prosperity of the Khmer State.

    Angok Tongwangcheng has five gates. The best preserved is the south gate. The huge four-faced Buddha statue is above. The smile is calm. It is one of the symbols of Angkor's monuments. The king city is surrounded by the moat. There are two rows of stone statues on both sides of the bridge on the river. The left row is the angel and the right row of Asura. The town guards the king's city.

    Beautiful gate at the entrance to Angkor Thom. At sunset, the light is awesome....very photogenic. A couple of the temples right next to the gate are well worth exploring too.

    The gate of South Gate is 23 meters high and the gate is in a tower-shaped structure. The reason why the gate is built so high is said to facilitate the passage of the war elephants. The tower of the south gate also has four four-faced Buddhas facing east, west, south and north. The Erawan Buddhas smiled peacefully and examined everyone entering the city with a compassionate look. It is said that the face of the Erawan Buddhas at South Gate, like the Bayan Temple, is carved according to the true appearance of Jehovah VII (JayavarmanVII).

    The south gate of Angkor Tongwangcheng is the best preserved and most powerful city gate in the five gates of Wangcheng. Every day, people come and go under the gate, and the traffic is endless. The huge Erawan Buddha statue above the gate overlooks all beings. The face of this Buddha statue is actually different, some grinning, some serious, and there are some small Buddha statues carved in the rest of the area, and you will ignore it if you don't pay attention. After entering the south gate, walk up the dirt slope by the gate, and you can walk to the gate, and the king's smile is within reach. Sitting on the gate and looking down, he suddenly feels himself away from the dust.
