Sometimes, merely a name can lure you to a place, and Angkor Wat is such a place. There is nothing compared to Angkor in the whole Asia for the delicate architecture, mysterious construction as well as dramatical history of a nation that escaped from genocide. Stretching over some 400 km2 in forested area, Angkor Complex contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. They include the famous Temple Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. With at least three days strolling around the grand Angkor Wat, thick jungle traces at Ta Prohm or unbelievably huge stone smiles of Bayon, a visit to Cambodia can make you end up calling it ‘’the capital of great temples in Asia’’. The architectural, archaeological and historical values of Angkor will always make your visit unforgettable. Let's discover the prominent site of Angkor complex where you can dip yourself in the mysterious beauty of temples, statues, and carvings.
