Angkor Wat in Siem Reap 2016

Angkor what temples consist of many, of which 3 are worth visiting. The rest is closed or not worth spending time unless you have a good time. There are 215 temples in all. The first thing we saw was Angkor Wat, the most beautiful and most well-preserved, built in the 12th century. We arrived from the west end, over a long sandstone road. It was previously repaired by the French, ie. Before the war in the 70s. Outside it is surrounded by large water pools. They were here making the northern part. Also within the walls there was repair work, something that will last for many decades or maybe a hundred years. It is in an area that fills 1 km². It was originally dedicated to Hindu god "Visnu". Here we spent 2 hours, together with many thousands of other people. This album only deals with Angkor Wat.
