SiemReap, Cambodia
After heavy breakfast at the hotel, we ready for seeing the temples around SiemReap (Angkor)
Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and is the largest religious monument in the world. It is built on a site measuring 162.5 hectares (602 acres), originally constructed as a Hindu Temple, by Khmer King Suryavarman II at the beginning of 12th Century.
Towards the end of 12th century, Angkor Wat gradually transformed from a centre of worship to Buddhism, which continues till present day.
The temple was neglected after 16th century and eventually abandoned. A Portuguese monk who visited i 1586 said that it is of extraordinary constrution that i is not possible to describe it with a pen, particularly since it is like no ther building in the world.It has towers and decorations and all the refinements which the human genius can conceive.
It is really true. Such a magnificent could not have been constructed without a brilliant genius mind behind it. It is a place to visit in one's lifetime and the mind goes back to glorious days of Angkor Empire in 12th to 14th century.
We spent a quite a lot of time seeing around the place, taking photos the guide Mr Nivath was explaining about the history.
