Angkor Wat Exploration: Banteay Srei, the epitome of beauty.

Among the vast ruins of Angkor Wat, Banteay Srei may not be as famous as Angkor Wat or Bayon Temple, but it has become the "jewel of Angkor" in the hearts of many tourists with its unique charm. 🛺 A surprise after a long journey In the early morning, I took a tutu car and traveled 40 kilometers on a dusty road. I had thought of giving up. But the moment I stepped into Banteay Srei, all the fatigue disappeared. This temple located in the outer circle of Angkor Wat shocked me instantly with its gorgeous, exquisite, and vivid architectural style. 👑 The brilliance of the "jewel of Angkor" Banteay Srei, as one of the three major temples in Cambodia, is not as famous as other famous attractions, but its sculptures are second to none. The sculptures here are not only vivid, but also full of stories. My favorite is the story of the two monkey kings fighting for the throne. The shocked expression on the monkey king's face seems to make people think of the fierce fight behind it. 🎨 Gorgeous colors and exquisite sculptures Banteay Srei uses red sandstone as a building material, making the entire temple present a gorgeous color. Compared with the cyan-gray of other temples and palaces in Angkor Wat, Banteay Srei is undoubtedly a beautiful landscape. Moreover, every door lintel here is carved with exquisite sculptures, most of which are derived from Hindu classics, which are vivid and interesting. 🚶‍♀️ The journey to explore Banteay Srei Banteay Srei is not large, and it only takes about 10 minutes to go around. But in this short time, you can almost enjoy all the exquisite sculptures and buildings. If you have two days to visit Angkor Wat, Banteay Srei is definitely a must-see attraction. 🛺 My itinerary suggestion I chose to charter a car to Banteay Srei and combined it with the big circle route (Preah Khan, Neak Pean, etc.). Although the journey is long and the road conditions are poor, the overall cost is relatively low. Moreover, my driver speaks fluent English and communicates without obstacles. In general, Banteay Srei has become my favorite temple in Angkor Wat with its unique charm and exquisite architectural style. If you have the opportunity to come to Angkor Wat, don't miss this brilliant "jewel of Angkor".
