As gateway to famous Angkor Wat, Siem Reap is a peace city now and has risen as admirable international tourism destination. Siem Reap has recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site and host to one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.
Angkor Wat Amazing Temple Complex
Siem Reap is a gateway to the amazing Angkor Wat, a temple complex at Angkor, built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. Angkor Wat means “City of Temple”. The development of this temple takes times around 30 years. Angkor Wat is the world's largest religious building.The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
Angkor Wat is wonderful inspiring temple in Indochina. It is cover with relief carvings the Ramayana epic of Hinduism. There are two great complexes of ancient temples in Southeast Asia, one at Bagan in Burma, the other at Angkor in Cambodia. It is surrounded by a wide moat that is 190 meters wide, and the total dimension is 1.3 by 1.5 kilometers (moat included).
Angkor Thom - Lucky Number 9
Very near Angkor Wat, there's a larger temple complex called Angkor Thom (The Large City). The south gate of Angkor Thom is 7.2 km north of Siem Reap, and 1.7 km north of the entrance to Angkor Wat. Angkor Thom has unique lucky number 9 (nine). Almost everything of Angkor Thom related to number nine: 54 carved towers, 216 faces on the towers, 54 gods on the left of the entrance, and 54 demons on the right – all those numbers adding up to 9. I wish you have 9 as your lucky number too.
Bayon the Temple of Faces
Bayon is "Temple of Faces" because there are hundreds of large stone faces looking down if you enter the inner sanctum of the temple. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the official state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. The Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and massive stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak.
Ta Prohm the Temple of Jungle
If Angkor Wat, the Bayon and other temples are testimony to the genius of the ancient Khmers, Ta Prohm reminds us equally of the awesome fecundity and power of the jungle. Ta Prohm has been largely left to the clutches of the living jungle. With its dynamic interaction between nature and man-made art, this atmospheric temple is a favorite for many - who can't help but feel a little like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft (which was filmed here) as they pick through the rubble.
