256 view The Preah Vihear Temple, located in northern Cambodia near the border with Thailand.
In Khmer, it means 'Sacred Temple,' and it was the second site in Cambodia to be registered as a World Heritage Site.
The highlights are its beautiful architecture and the view of the Cambodian landscape from the temple!
In addition to its historical aspects, it is also a very photogenic temple.
The Temple in the Sky, Preah Vihear
The Preah Vihear Temple was built by the Khmer people at the end of the 9th century.This temple, towering in the Dângrêk Mountains, features a unique layout not found elsewhere, allowing you to enjoy various architectural beauties from the straight path leading to it.
The path is about 800 meters long with a height difference of about 120 meters from end to end, but as you turn your head left and right, observing the art pieces that have stood quietly for over 1,000 years, you don't particularly feel tired.
Although there are areas undergoing restoration due to deterioration and territorial issues until the early 2000s, there are no particular problems for tourism.
Photogenic temples
The intricate reliefs and nostalgic towers in the temple are also photogenic.The more you explore, the more wonderful photo spots you find, such as places like a painting frame, grand staircases reminiscent of a certain music show, and ruins overgrown with grass like Laputa.
Being a relatively unknown tourist spot, you can freely take photos at this temple.
It's great to go alone and take an icon image.
It's also nice to go with someone and take memorable photos.
Going in a group and taking photos like a jacket cover is also a good idea!
Cambodian land
Once you pass through the path, there is a sheer cliff.At an altitude of about 500 meters, the Cambodian landscape spreads out below.
The temple stands alone, cattle graze, and cars travel endlessly on a single road.
There are no tall buildings or many other mountains, making it completely different from scenic spots in Japan. It was a great view.
It was a precious experience to see people living from the sky.
