CITY OF ANGKOR

THE CITY OF ANGKOR
COUNTRY: CAMBODIA
PLACE: SIEM REAP, NORTH OF THE TONLE SAP LAKE


The next destination that can be considered by the traveler is Angkor where this place in not a favourite place to be visit by tourists especially youth as it is more to religious and they consider this place as boring and not interesting.


As for most of the tourists who seek an exotic place, Angkor is very good place to be visit. Angkor is a region of Cambodia  that served as the seat of the Khmer Empire , which flourished from approximately the 9th to 15th centuries. The word of Angkor is derived from the  Sanskrit nagara, meaning city.

When we enter the Angkor, we can found that the temples of the Angkor area is over one thousand, ranging in scale from nondescript piles of brick rubble scattered through rice fields to the magnificent Angkor, said to be the world's largest single religious monument and it is also one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. 


The temple at Angkor is very unique because many of them have been restored, and together, they comprise the most significant site of Khmer architecture.


 So, actually it is interesting to be visit at Angkor as there are so many things that can be explore there.
