Past this gate, on each side of the alley, there is a row of 54 giants, gods or demons holding Naga, the sacred serpent.
From there, continue to the Bayon Temple, exact center of the city of Angkor Thom. This 12th-century masterpiece is very famous for its 54 face towers representing the 54 provinces of the great Khmer Empire. The Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King are also essential for their complex bas-reliefs
The Ta Prohm is a temple that is part of Angkor, it is the most important archaeological site in Cambodia, because, unlike most other temples, it has remained in the same condition as when it was found. Also the atmosphere created by the combination of trees growing on the ruins and the surrounding jungle, have made it one of the most popular temples of Angkor.
Lunch.
Afternoon stroll to the magnificent Angkor Wat temple. Angkor Wat combines two basics of Khmer temple architecture: the mountain temple side and the gallery temple side. It was designed to represent Mount Meru, the home of the gods in Hindu mythology. Inside the temple, the walls are covered with stone carvings and bas-reliefs depicting Hindu mythology and the wars fought by Suryavarman II during his reign. Angkor Wat is also famous for the Apsara dancers (over 2,000) decorating it. Construction is said to have taken about 30 years of intensive work.
