About Siem Reap

Siem Reap er byen ved floden ved siden af Angkor, Cambodjas enorme kompleks af khmertempler, med natmarkeder, flodpromenader og et afslappet centrum.

Angkor Wat, ofte kaldet verdens største religiøse monument, rejser sig over sin voldgrav i en silhuet af lotusknoptårne, der er betagende ved solopgang. I nærheden rummer den ommurede by Angkor Thom Bayon med sine over to hundrede rolige stenansigter, Elefantterrassen og Baphuon, mens Ta Prohm er omklamret af rødderne fra kæmpe kapok- og kvælerfigentræer.
