[Cambodia] Angkor Wat

#AsiaTravelRecord

Angkor Wat is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites (cultural heritage) of Angkor Wat, located in northwestern Cambodia. It is a huge temple that represents the Angkor ruins.

Heavily influenced by India, the reliefs that bring together the best of Khmer culture, which is said to be a fusion of Hinduism and Buddhism, are painted on the corridors and walls, and the structure of the building, which symbolizes the sea and mountains, is majestic.

The Angkor Dynasty flourished for about 600 years. There are many beautiful buildings, but they have suffered great damage due to repeated invasions and civil wars throughout their long history.
Large-scale restorations have been carried out repeatedly. The cost of restoration has been provided by Japan, and it is said to amount to 3 billion yen.
Thanks to that, it is praised by people around the world as a "spot you must see at least once in your life," and is highly popular among the many World Heritage Sites.
