Magic Temple in Siem Reap
Temple complex, the small town of Siem Reap surrounds, is no longer hidden. Now we do not know anyone who has climbed the towers of Angkor Wat. In fact, the main temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Torres visible in the middle of the Cambodian flag and the national beer labels, beer Angkor.
But there are hundreds of temples in Siem Reap, is already damaged or are not received. Unless you are visiting for a few weeks, it may not be able to see all the temples. Here are three temples to play, I suggest that you visit.
Bayon
Bayon temple, like the front (Temple of faces) are known. During the visit it is very easy to find the reason for the name – to climb up steep stone steps to the holy temple, hundreds of faces looking at you. Although she seems to smile, I feel that it’s a little rough air as they wait for the manufacturer of stone statues fell out of the woods. While many temples were destroyed, it is still easy to imagine the incredible view that the complex was built – the earth is actually a decent home of the gods.
Ta Prohm
If you ever watched Tomb Raider, some scenes of the movie takes place in the temple of Ta Prohm, needs no special effects, give the impression of ghostly and surreal. Temple complex is located at a distant nearly collapsed. For centuries, the roots of the trees in the temple walls. The preservation of the temple, leave the trees, because at its roots, to strengthen the trees, the construction of the temple. If omitted, then the temple was left would collapse.
Ta Prohm has a magical effect is similar to Bayon, a temple or a person living there, just for a stroll and explore the rooms of the Lost City is a violation. Find a quiet place to relax and feel the mystique of Ta Prohm.
Banteay Srei
For the first 10 minutes to Banteay Srei, the search continues to surprise intricate carvings on every inch of a rock, wondering what exactly it is made of wood. Even with current technology, almost unbelievably, that the intricate patterns and details of the statue could be made of stone. This temple, unlike other, made of red sandstone, the easier to cut and compliance with complex shades of red gold.
Most of the entrance and the tower of the temple are still preserved and intact (watch your head, because the door is too short!), But some of the statues on the side of the scale is in fact a replica. Original statue was stolen or has been stored in museums. If there is an art contest, would easily win Banteay Srei, because of the originality and attention to detail.
