Bakong

This impressive citadel is the jewel of the Roluos Group. Driving up to Wat Bakong you get a glimpse of the vista across the moat of the ancient city. You can enter from either side, west or east, although it’s probably nicest to get dropped off and picked up from the same one, so that you can explore right around the citadel.

Located in the nearby town of Roluos, this pyramid-styled sandstone temple was built in the 9th century. Currently, there is a Buddhist monastery next to it.

One of the largest temples in the east of the city, with a long history and thousands of years of history. There are also pagodas for people to pray, food for monks and visitors, and amazing architectural history to learn from the temple. There is no service staff here and the mobile network is limited so don't expect to get a high quality enjoyment on the tour. Two things you must know, that is to go to the temple and pray at the pagoda!

It is the first multi-story temple mountain in the Angkor ruins and the first temple in the Angkor dynasty to replace red brick with sandstone blocks. Almost a thousand and two hundred years ago, French experts at the beginning of the 20th century worked over many years to recreate the near-ruined wonder and to recapture the ancient world.

It took about 2 hours to ride by bike. It was actually very beautiful. Because it was a little away from the city, almost no one came. My own unique attraction, very ethereal architecture and blue sky. The towering tower.
