The temples in Angkor (Siem Reap), Cambodia were absolutely amazing! They were so much larger and more complex than we could have ever imagined. We thought we would share pictures of the most iconic temple with you first, Angkor Wat. This stunning temple was built in the early 12th century as a state temple and capital city. Originally dedicated to Hindu god Vishnu, the temple is used today by Buddhists.
We got to tour all around inside the temple, admire the impressive engravings and carvings, and even got to go all the way to the top. We stayed to watch the sun set at the temple. As the sun lowered and hit the temple, it gave Angkor Wat a beautiful gold glow.
We talk more about Cambodia later, but for now, enjoy the pictures of Angkor Wat!
