Angkor Wat

The ruins of Angkor Wat create a mixture of culture and nature that has rarely been achieved. The temples and ruins lie scattered amidst a huge area of dense, mysterious jungle that's always hot and humid. This surrounding makes for an unforgettable and honestly intense visit. The jewel in the jungle's crown is Angkor Wat, the world's largest temple, which is located inside a giant square area surrounded by a large moat. Y0ou have to cross a long bridge to get there. Angkor Wat is also home to one of the most famous sunrises in the world, but in the late afternoon and evening colors also add a golden glow to the ancient stones.

Angkor Wat is the largest and most well-preserved temple in the Angkor complex. As I understand it, it's the largest religious site in the world and also one of the most important. The best times to visit are at sunrise and sunset. The temple is so integral to Cambodian identity that they've even included it on their flag.

The temple is magnificent. It is rich with history. I recommend getting a tour guide and visiting at sunrise.

This is one sunrise worth the early morning.
