After spending one day in Phnom Penh we flew to Siem Reap, the gateway to the Khmer Temples located about 200 miles north of Phnom Penh.
Angkor Archaeological Park, a World Heritage Site since 1993, encompasses about 400 square kilometers just outside Siem Reap.
The Park has more than one hundred temples, most are what I would call ruins. The one exception is Angkor Wat, which is the most famous of all the Temples and is pictured above at the top. But one can see enough of the ruins to see some beautiful art works as well as architectural wonders for the time built (about 800AD-1250AD).
