CAMBODIA TRAVELOGUE AND TEMPLES OF ANGKOR PICTURES |
Tour to Angkor Thom including the great temple of Bayon
<<-- GO
Angkor
Thom is a real city, capital of the Khmer empire and civilization; it’s
dominated by the majestic temple of Bayon and characterized by high
stone towers with the face of Buddha carved on the facades at the four
cardinal points. |
The trip to the temples of Angkor continues with the tour of Angkor Wat
<<-- GO
The
temple of Angkor Wat is probably the most famous of the temples of
Angkor. It consists of a huge complex of buildings, whose walls are
finely decorated with low-reliefs in excellent condition, showing
figures of Khmer women (devata) and other drawings. |
Ta Prom temple (temple of Tomb Raider) and other temples of Angkor photos
<<-- GO
The Ta Prom temple is known by Cambodians as the Tomb Raider temple or
temple of Angeline Jolie, as it was the film set of the famous movie
and video game. Buried by the jungle until a few years ago, the temple
is characterized by the stems and roots that grow above the ruins. |
Tour to the other Angkor temples of the Small Circuit and photos of Banteay
<<-- GO
At
a short distance from Siem Reap and the other temples of Angkor, there
are some minor structures, but equally spectacular, dating prior to
Angkor Thom. These temples are built in pink or red sandstone, which
gives them their characteristic color. |
Travel by car from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh in the heart of Cambodia
<<-- GO
Cambodia
is not only Angkor, but it is also a country that has much more to
offer, and even a car trip from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh allows you to
appreciate some aspects which you will miss running only along the
usual routes suggested to mass tourism. |
Day tour in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia
<<-- GO
The
trip to Cambodia comes to an end with a visit to Phnom Penh and its
magnificent Royal Palace with the Silver Pagoda. I have also a trip to
the National Museum of Cambodia and the Wat Phnom pagoda attended by
many believers. |
