Witness the grandeur of the last capital of the Khmer Empire - the city of Angkor Thom

Cambodia's🇰🇭 Angkor Thom, also known as the Great Angkor, was the final capital of the Khmer Empire, founded in the 9th century AD. It was built by the third king of the Angkor dynasty. During the heyday of the Angkor dynasty, Angkor Thom was one of the most magnificent cities in Southeast Asia, resplendent and bustling. As the Angkor dynasty declined, Angkor Thom was repeatedly destroyed by war and eventually reduced to ruins, until it was rediscovered and excavated by French explorers in the 19th century. Angkor Thom features the Bayon Temple, Baphuon Temple, the Ancient Royal Palace, the Terrace of the Elephants, the Terrace of the Leper King, the Phimeanakas Temple, the Preah Palilay Temple, and the Tower of the Twelve Zodiacs. The city has five gates, four leading to the gates of the Bayon Temple and one to the Victory Gate of the Royal Palace. Above the city gates are the faces of the Buddha facing the four cardinal directions. Particularly rare are the tropical trees with their tangled roots growing tenaciously in the crevices of the stones, tearing apart the buildings while supporting the temples. This sight arouses great curiosity, and many people stand under the trees to take photos as a memento. Standing on the ruins of Angkor Thom, one can feel the splendor and vicissitudes of the Angkor civilization, witness the historical changes of Cambodia, and understand the profound historical and cultural connotations of Cambodia. In this land filled with magical and mystical colors, explore the caves, the wonders, the adventures, and the world, and behold this rare treasure that has been buried and forgotten. 📝Tips: 1. Visiting Angkor Wat requires at least three days. 2. The Small Circuit, Grand Circuit, and Outer Circuit are three standard routes. 3. Each circuit requires at least one day to visit. 4. To gain a deeper understanding of Angkor Wat, one can purchase a seven-day pass (Two gentlemen traveling with us bought the seven-day pass, feeling that three days were too rushed)
