Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh: Unforgettable Khmer Memories

Built in the early 12th century, Angkor Wat derives its name from the transliteration of 'Angkor,' and is not a stone statue or cave, but a grand and vast royal city of the Angkor dynasty. Angkor Wat is the largest temple complex in the world and is considered one of the four great wonders of the ancient East. It appears at the center of the Cambodian flag, symbolizing the nation. The entire temple is surrounded by water, with roads on the east and west sides leading to the opposite banks. This is a very primitive architectural complex of royal and religious power. Unlike China's Forbidden City, there is no paint to embellish it; the entire royal city has only one color, which further highlights its mysterious beauty. This sense of mystery attracts visitors from all over the world, and the movie 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider' was also filmed here. Walking through the ancient towers, it is astonishing to think that such exquisite and magnificent stone architecture was created nine hundred years ago. Behind the Khmer smile, Angkor Wat is truly worth the visit. #AngkorWat #SiemReap #PhnomPenh #KhmerSmile #CambodiaTravel
