Cambodia Angkor Thom Travel Guide
Scenic spot introduction:
Angkor Thom in Cambodia, also known as Thongwang City and Angkor Thom, is the last capital of the Khmer Empire and is known as the "Fourth Angkor". The square-shaped Great Angkor has numerous city gates, stone statues, and architectural monuments. It is the most important part of the Angkor monuments. The famous movie "Tomb Raider" was filmed at the east gate of the city here. From the 9th to the 15th century, it was the spiritual and religious center of the Khmer people and a holy place that travelers yearned for. From a prosperous capital to a 45-square-kilometer jungle, to a forgotten ruins in the 16th century, to a world-famous world cultural heritage today, the ancient and modern miracle of Angkor is undoubtedly the best in history. Witness, narrator. When people shuttle among the towers and look up at the reliefs, the glorious civilization is unfolding, and they can't help but sigh at the passage of time and the great changes.Attractions distribution:

travelling guideline:
1. Tickets for the next day will be sold starting at 16:30 every afternoon. After purchasing the tickets, you can enter the scenic spot at 17:00. The ticket period starts from the next day. There will be management staff checking tickets at any time in the scenic area. Anyone found without a ticket will be fined US$80. Lost tickets will not be replaced.
2. When photographing Bayon Temple, you should avoid noon time, because the mottled boulders have no layers and are even less interesting under direct sunlight. In the evening, there are few tourists and the light is soft, which is more suitable for taking pictures. The wandering monks wandering around the Bachiron Temple start to leave after the tourists disperse at sunset. This is a good opportunity to capture the wandering monks.
3. Some temples in the building complex have collapsed and suffered varying degrees of damage, so you must pay attention to safety during the tour.
