Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat

Cambodia is the country located in south-eat Asia. It’s noted to be possible for billion tourist passionate to visit there.  Be newsy, this country is chock-full of many resorts as recreational resort, natural resort, cultural resort, and historical resort; among them historical resort is more interesting than other by tourist because of it has many temple located almost its province. Majority tourist go to Cambodia in order to visit its temple especially Angkor Wat. It’s mean you hear Cambodia, you will imagine of Angkor Wat, Someone said. Or when you visit Cambodia if you don’t go to Angkor Wat, it’s mean you did come to Cambodia. So what is Angkor Wat?


Angkor was first a Hindu temple, after subsequently a Buddhist, temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. The temple was built by the Khmer King Jayvaraman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura, the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum and finished by Jayvaraman VII. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Visnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architect It has become a symbol of Cambodai, appearing on it's national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.

Angkor Wat combine of two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture, the temple mountain and the later galarie temple. The modern name, Angkor Wat, means "Temple City" or "City of Temples" in Khmer; Angkor, meaning "city" or "capital city", is a vernacular form of the word nokor, which comes from the Sangkrit word nagara Wat is the khmer word for "temple grounds".  Exactly if we talking about Angkor Wat it cant be described by few hours of few day because of it's very complex, secret, and so long historical temple.


So for me about Angkor Wat is very complex and large spread of the surface as my experience I have to visited there one time. When I was there I seem be back to that era and live in that temple. Sometime when I walk form one temple to other temple and so on, I feel I miss the way if I didn’t have the map handle. I recommend you if you have the chance to visit there and if you’re favorite of adventure, you should be there, come and rent bicycle for ride. As the morning you can ride to visit every each temple, people living lifestyle, and mountain; for evening you should come by the top of Angkor temple to see the sunset.

To all visitor if you never come to Cambodia, you should come to test it. I hope you will be satisfied what called Cambodia resort, Cambodia people lifestyle with their welcomed smile of everywhere like Bayon's fece temple over there.
