Best time to go to Angkor Watt is definitely early morning. I got myself three days pass which cost $35. Every day I was waking up before 5 AM, packing my breakfast, getting dressed and riding by bicycle from Siem Reap towards the temple. It took me about 35 minutes to get there from the city centre. The weather is cool in the morning and the ride is very pleasant. Sunrise starts at around 6AM. By the time I was near the lake, it was a getting bright and I could see the sun slowly rising above the temple. There are definitely less people compare to daytime but still there are some tourists to watch this breathtaking show. After the sunrise when the gates are open you can walk around the temple before it gets too crowded and hot. Make sure your clothes covers up your shoulders and knees otherwise you will need to buy sarongs at the nearby shops. There are lots of eateries at the territory of the temple, so you can take a break at the hottest time of the day there. #cambodia #siemreap #trip #angkorwattemple#sunrise

| Organized a 4-day tour guide, please keep it well. Cambodia, formerly known as Khmer, has a long history of civilization as Cambodians have lived in the lower Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake area for three to four thousand years. Angkor Wat was the capital of the ancient Khmer kingdom, once the largest city in the world in terms of area, architectural style, and relief art. It takes at least 3 days to visit Angkor Wat, which is divided into small, large, and outer circles. Our route D1: Guangzhou—Siem Reap—Cambodian Hot Pot D2: Bayon Temple—Baphuon Temple—Sky Palace—Elephant Terrace Leper King Terrace—Ta Keo Temple—Zhou Sa Temple—Ta Prohm Temple—Banteay Kdei Temple—Angkor Wat D3: Angkor Wat Sunrise—South Gate of Thommanon—Sacred Sword Temple—Long Pool—Ta Som Temple—East Mebon Temple—Banteay Srei Temple—Royal Bath—Ta Prohm Temple—Dou Kou Temple—Bakken Mountain Sunset D4: Queen's Palace—Beng Mealea—Bakong Temple The small circle is the most essence and exciting route among the three routes, and the distance between the points is relatively close, including Small Angkor, Big Angkor, and Bakken Mountain to watch the sunset; The big circle is a route that connects the temples near Siem Reap city, and the distance between the big circle attractions is relatively far compared to the small circle; The outer circle refers to Beng Mealea, Queen's Palace and Roluos Temple ruins, which are relatively far from Siem Reap city, and the journey is basically more than 30 minutes; Visit tips 1. Many attractions in Angkor Wat cannot wear sleeveless tops and too short skirts/pants; 2. Wear non-slip shoes, many roads in the scenic area are slippery, and there are many mosquitoes in the scenic area, so be prepared for mosquito prevention; 3. Small Angkor is the most classic sunrise viewing spot, so there are more people. It is recommended to leave for Small Angkor to watch the sunrise at 4:30 in the morning, and you need to enter Small Angkor around 5 o'clock; 4. The Bayon Temple tour group has already started at 8 o'clock. If you want to avoid the crowd and appreciate the quiet side of Bayon Temple, there are generally fewer people before 7 o'clock in the morning and after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun is very good at this time, you can take pictures before the crowd arrives; 5. The Queen's Palace tour group generally arrives in the afternoon, so try to go to the Queen's Palace before 8 o'clock in the morning, and visit Beng Mealea in the afternoon

I spent 2 days exploring Angkor Wat ～ the biggest site of temples in the world, located near Siem Reap, Cambodia 🇰🇭 📍 Here are some of my favourite locations: 1. Angkor Wat - the main temple that everyone visits. Many people visit at sunrise for a beautiful view. Once inside, you can climb to the top and explore. 2. Ta Prohm - made famous by the Lara Croft Tomb Raider movie, the trees have taken back their place in nature with roots growing into the buildings. This one has loads of cool photo opportunities. 3. Preah Khan - a real hidden gem, there was absolutely no one else there when I visited. It’s a lot older and less restored, but that’s what gives it charm. This was probably my favourite, I was totally amazed here. 4. Royal Palace - once again I was all alone! The long path to the palace is perfect for a beautiful photo. 5. Angkor Thom - another well known temple, located in the Bayon. This was a big temple to explore (and get lost in), but I was actually more excited seeing the gate on the drive out! INFO: 💰1 day ticket is $37, 3 days is $62 or 7 days is $72. 🎟️ Buy tickets online and print it in advance so you don’t have to go to the ticket office on site and queue. 🛺 I recommend spending at least 2 days exploring Angkor Wat. Hire a tuk tuk driver for around $20 per day ～ you can choose where you want to go, or take one of their routes. 🌅 In my opinion, you don’t need to visit Angkor Wat for sunrise. Get some extra sleep and check it out at sunset instead! #angkorwat #siemreap #cambodia #historicallandmarks

What a view to go with this walkway. The Temple becomes more and more impressive the closer you get. The Angkor Wat complex is a place everyone should try to visit. Go after lunch the crowds are lighter. What a landmark. #merrychristmas #merrychristmas

Angkor Wat, also known as the Angkor Temple, He is located in Cambodia and is currently the largest temple-like building in the world! Also a representative of early architectural style in Cambodia. Angkor Wat is a temple well-preserved among the Angkor ruins, The architecture is magnificent and has a strong sense of history! Going to Cambodia for tourism is to see Angkor Wat and feel the vicissitudes of history!

Angkor Wat, also known as the Small Angkor (Angkor Wat), is located in a rectangular area within the small circuit. Don't be fooled by the word 'small' in its name; on the contrary, Angkor Wat is the largest temple in the world, measuring 1,500 meters in length and 1,300 meters in width, covering an area of about 200 hectares. Angkor Wat is considered a symbol of Cambodia and is also one of the earliest examples of Khmer architecture, witnessing the glorious era of the Khmer Empire. The name 'Angkor Wat' translates to 'Capital Temple' in the Khmer language, indicating its significance. In 1992, Cambodia was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and in 2007, it defeated more than fifty other candidates in the global vote for the New Seven Wonders, advancing to the final twenty-one. Construction of Angkor Wat began in 1113 and took a full 37 years to complete, with the effort of the entire nation at that time. Whether in design, layout, intricacy, or scale, it can rival any of the world's most outstanding architectural works and is one of the must-visit attractions in Angkor. The outer perimeter of Angkor Wat features a 5.7-kilometer-long moat that surrounds the Small Angkor, symbolizing the ocean around the land; the rectangular inner city part of Angkor Wat measures 1,500 meters by 1,300 meters, symbolizing the Himalayas; the temple's central area has five main towers representing the five sacred mountains of Hinduism, with the central and tallest tower standing at 65 meters, symbolizing Mount Meru, the center of the world. The tips of the towers represent heaven, the dwelling place of the deities; the five main towers are situated on top of a three-tiered rectangular gallery, stacked layer upon layer like a pyramid, symbolizing the elements of earth, water, and wind at the location of Mount Meru. Inside the temple, there are nearly two thousand Apsara carvings and a large number of carvings depicting Hindu mythological stories, none of which are identical, all are masterpieces of extraordinary craftsmanship. To visit Angkor Wat, one must first cross the moat, which is filled with water from the Siem Reap River. In addition to serving a defensive purpose, the moat was also used for irrigation during the dry season and flood relief during the rainy season. While crossing the moat, take a moment to notice the carvings on both sides of the bridge, which tell the Hindu creation myth of the churning of the Ocean of Milk. After crossing the moat, visitors reach the largest central western gate of the Small Angkor, which has five gates divided according to different ranks, and the middle gate was only accessible to the king at that time. Now, all tourists can pass through this gate and experience the feeling of being a king. It is worth mentioning that among the nearly two thousand Apsara carvings within Angkor Wat, only one has a slight smile with visible teeth, located near the western gate; visitors can try to find it if they have the chance (I didn't manage to find it). Exiting the western gate leads to a straight central causeway leading to the temple of Angkor, nearly 500 meters long and nearly 10 meters wide, very imposing. On both sides, there are libraries, a common feature in many temples of Angkor. Directly in front of the libraries are two pools, which were once used for bathing before worship by the people, and now the pool on the left has become the famous Lotus Pond for watching the sunrise. The Lotus Pond is always popular because the water perfectly reflects the temple's silhouette, a common image on Cambodian postcards, especially before sunrise each day, when this spot becomes a coveted location for photographers and tourists alike. In the next part, we will continue to introduce the main hall of Angkor Wat - the first, second, and third galleries, and we will also share tips for watching the sunrise at Angkor Wat. Please stay tuned.

Cambodia, an ancient civilization with a rich history. Cambodia is an ancient civilization with a long history, having established a unified kingdom as early as the 1st century AD. [Angkor Wat]Angkor Wat is located in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, about 240 kilometers from the capital Phnom Penh. It is a symbol of the Cambodian nation and is known as one of the four wonders of the East. The existing Angkor Wat mainly includes the Angkor Thom (Great Angkor) and the Angkor Wat (Little Angkor). There are more than 600 existing Angkor Wat sites, scattered in the forest covering an area of 45 square kilometers. The Great Angkor and the Little Angkor are its main components, with many exquisite Buddhist pagodas and numerous stone carvings, which are spectacular. These Buddhist pagodas are all built with huge stones, some of which weigh more than 8 tons. The pagodas are carved with various forms of statues, some of which are several meters high and vividly lifelike. In 1992, the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO listed the entire Angkor site as a world cultural heritage. [Royal Palace of Phnom Penh]The Royal Palace of Phnom Penh, also known as the Grand Palace of Four Arms Bay, is named after its location at the confluence of the Upper Mekong River, Tonle Sap River, Lower Mekong River and Bassac River. It was built by King Norodom from 1866 to 1870. The palace is rectangular, 435 meters long and 402 meters wide, with outer walls. The architecture of the palace has Khmer traditional style and religious color. The palaces all have spires, representing prosperity. The palace buildings are painted in yellow and white, with yellow representing Buddhism and white representing Brahmanism. The palace was originally made of wood, but was later rebuilt with cement structure while maintaining its original appearance. [Tashan]Tashan, also known as Tazai Mountain, has a small mountain body and is the birthplace of Phnom Penh. According to legend, a woman named "Ben" in ancient times drifted here due to a flood and found a Buddha statue, which was enshrined on a small hill. Later, a temple was built here, and believers and pilgrims came in droves, gradually developing into a prosperous town, named "Bainangben", meaning "Lady Ben's Mountain", which was translated by local overseas Chinese as "Phnom Penh". Tashan is about 100 meters high, with a statue of Lady Ben on the top of the tower, and incense burning all day long, making it one of the symbols of Phnom Penh.
