Angkor Wat: The Place in Cambodia
If you are willing to go to the most significant place in Cambodia, learn about Cambodian history and architecture, definitely, you should not miss Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat, also called Angkor Vat, is a temple that was built especially for King Survayaman II at the beginning of the 12th century. It is known due to the fact that it is the only temple that maintains a religious meaning since the moment it was founded. Initially, it was meaningful for Hinduism and then for Buddhism. It is considered to be the main attraction for visitors. It calls everyone’s attention since, unlike the rest of the temples; it is oriented to the west. However, there is much more for you to discover.
Due to its amazing beauty, significance and the history that it represents, it has been nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Is impressive to realize how important this temple is. Just imagine that, even though figures are not concrete, in the year 2004, more than 1 million people visited Cambodia, from which around 57 % stated that they went there to visit Angkor Wat. Since this temple is full of architectural attractiveness, many interpretations of their structure have been made. However, why don't you do it yourself? Why don't you go there and experience the power of scenic beauty, history, and culture by yourself? Just go there and give it a try.
