Why Travelers Love This
Celestial alignment: The most unique feature is the Equinox sunrise, a celestial event where the sun aligns perfectly with the central tower as it rises. This happens around the spring equinox in late March and the autumn equinox in late September. Ancient design: The temple's builders deliberately oriented Angkor Wat to the east to symbolize life and divine energy, using precise measurements to achieve this astronomical alignment during key times of the year. Reflection and symbolism: The sunrise is particularly striking when viewed from the reflecting ponds in front of the temple, which perfectly mirror the structure and the sky. This reflection has religious significance, symbolizing the balance between the cosmic ocean and the heavens.

PRASAT TA PROMH, built in late 12th century by Jayavarman VII was dedicated in 1186 to his mother. Originally this temple had a Buddhist background but later was converted to Hindu so some Buddhist galleries were destroyed and replaced by Hindu symbols such as Yoni and Lingam. Its location is 1.5kms from Bayon through the Victory Gate. Ta Promh is famous for the trees (called “Spung”) growing strongly up, on and over the sandstone block walls.

The South Gate is one of five grand entrances to the ancient city of Angkor Thom, built in the late 12th century and is the best-preserved and most famous gate. It is known for its impressive causeway lined with statues of gods (devas) and demons (asuras) pulling a naga, as well as a gate tower with four faces similar to those at the Bayon temple. This gate serves as a ceremonial and defensive entrance, and the causeway is a popular spot for photographs and the start of elephant rides into the city.
