Famous historical sites in Siam, Cambodia: Angkor Wat, a world cultural heritage site, suitable for taking photos📸

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Siam, Cambodia is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many historical sites in Siam. This time I will introduce one of Siam’s most famous attractions: Angkor Wat. Tickets: One-day ticket is US$37; three-day ticket is US$62; seven-day ticket is US$72. Angkor Wat (also known as Angkor Gate Ruins) is the ruins of an ancient temple complex in the Cambodian royal city of Angkor. It is also a World Cultural Heritage and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century and was the center of the ancient Angkor City and the most prominent of the temples south of the Tonle Sap River. It was built by the order of King Suryaman II of the Angkor dynasty to worship Vishnu, the main god of Hinduism. The architectural style of Angkor Wat is deeply influenced by Indian culture and is full of gorgeous sculptures, murals and stone carvings. The main building of Angkor Wat is a huge east-west temple surrounded by high walls and moats. The main hall is a huge central tower surrounded by four smaller corner towers, forming a rectangular building complex. There are many murals in the main hall, depicting religious, historical and mythological stories, the most famous of which is the "Dance of Angkor" mural. Angkor Wat was built on a grand scale, using a huge amount of stone and manpower. It was the political and religious center of the Angkor dynasty and one of the largest religious buildings in the world. The architectural art and structural design of Angkor Wat are considered masterpieces of the ancient world and attract tourists from all over the world.
