Temples of Angkor (page 1 of 4)
We were there for the sunrise, and still there for the sunset. The 'lost city' of Angkor has over 100 temples (called Wats) and takes days to explore. We spent 2 full exhaustive days there and were able to see a majority of the temples. The first temple shown here is the main temple.
This temple, Angkor Wat, was built between 1112-52 by Suryavarman II. It is surrounded by a beautiful moat (1.5km by 1.3km) and inside are many buildings. We looked through all of them, and climbed the central complex to the third story, which is 55m high.
