Phimeanakas Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Sky Palace, formerly known as Golden Horn Mountain, is located in the city of Tongwang, northwest of the Bayon Temple. It was the taller building in Tongwang City at that time, and it is also the only relatively complete building in the palace today. Standing on it, the view is very good, and it will give people a feeling of being in the air. Go north from Bayon Temple, come to the War Elephant Steps, and go further west to see the Palace in the Sky. It consists of three layers of rectangular Sumeru, which are stacked high like a pyramid, and the four corners of each layer of Sumeru are also decorated with lion or elephant statues. In the middle of the four sides of Mount Sumeru, there is a steep step connecting the top floor. To climb up, you have to use both hands and feet, and it takes a lot of effort. There is a wooden staircase built on one side of the steps, which is convenient for tourists to climb.

A pyramid-shaped temple in the jungle behind the Terrace of the Elephants in Angkor Thom. Looks great, but you are not allowed to go on top of this one.
On top of the temple, there was a tower, while on the edge of top platform there are galleries. Phimeanakas is located inside the walled enclosure of the Royal Palace of Angkor Thom north of Baphuon.
The sky palace, formerly known as the Golden Horn Mountain, is one of the monuments of Angkor, Cambodia. The sky palace was originally built by King Raintracht II of Zhenra while building the palace, and then converted to Sumishan Hindu temple for Sumishan. The style of the sky palace is influenced by Indian culture in many ways, and the shape of Sumishan is derived from Indian mythology. The sky palace is not as complete and famous as Angkor Wat, but it is still an important milestone in the history of Khmer architectural art. It is the predecessor of Angkor Temple, which contains several elements of Angkor Wat architectural art, Sumi Mountain, the central pagoda, the gallery, and the temple gate.
The Sky Palace, located in the city of Angkor, is one of the monuments of Angkor, Cambodia. The Shiva Temple was built between 941 and 968 AD and was later converted into a Sumishan Hindu temple. Although not as well-preserved and famous as Angkor Wat, the aerial palace is still an important milestone in the history of Khmer architectural art. Visiting the aerial palace, climbing the steps is quite difficult because it is steep and nearly upright, and the width of the steps is equivalent to the width of the feet across. Up and down the steps can only walk sideways, especially when you have to use your hands and feet, be very careful!
The Phimeanakas rises at the heart of the larger Palace of the Kings of Angkor, a vast rectangle measuring 581 meters by 242 meters.
Phimeanakas Temple is a Hindu temple in the Khleang style, built in the second half of 10th century. This temple is about 10 kilometers from the Siem Reap city center and in the shape of a three tier pyramid as a Hindu temple.
