Chajiao Temple (Tagao Temple) is the second temple that China has helped to restore Cambodia. Most of this temple is also the shape of Xumi Mountain. It is not easy to repair the periphery. I've seen some ruins that have not been repaired. It's like a pile of stones without any rules. In the hot sun, pheasant crowns are blooming in the cracks of the stones. Climbing such a narrow and steep Xumi Mountain is a test of piety.

    The attractions that the Chinese government helped to restore, the locals did not come, are very suitable for sightseeing... This is the second attraction to visit the Angkor Temple, so I am impressed... It is worth a visit, feeling the greatness of ancient craftsmen.

    The Tea Glue Temple, located outside the Victory Gate of Angkor City, is an Indian King Kong Pagoda temple dedicated to Shiva. The Tea Glue Temple is not decorated much, which makes it special in many buildings.

    Another great temple in the middle of the Angkor grounds. Quite a scenic ride to get to, and a slightly difficult/dangerous climb to get to the top. Recommended.

    The unique feature of Chajiao Temple is that its decoration process has been stopped. So he'll never finish it. Nobody knows what it's designed to look like. But it was the closure of the Chajiao Temple that gave us an idea of the construction technology of Angkor's buildings. First, we cut huge stones into normal sizes to build the whole building, and then carved Buddha statues and reliefs on the wall surface.

    Chajiao Temple is a pagoda-like structure of the Diamond Throne, also known as the Tagao Temple. Five lotus towers are built on the three-storey platform. The bottom platform is 120 meters long and 100 meters wide, and the central tower is 50 meters high. It is very magnificent, but it is not completed. If completed, it will be the most magnificent building in Angkor. Tagao Temple presents a rough and simple primitive, layer by layer climbing up, under the scorching sun, climbing Chajiao Temple is a test, there is no shade above, need hands and feet! And that step is really steep, close to 90 degrees of perspective, holding the hot stone steps, really scary. Looking up and down, the scenery is really good. Without the real scenery, it is impossible to appreciate the steepness of the steps. Coming down to see a construction plate, the Chajiao Temple is repaired with the assistance of the Chinese government. It is full of pride.

    The apt title of Ta Keo is Tagao Temple, a temple that China funded to build and restore. The Teajiao Temple was originally a burial temple built by Yae-mo V for himself. But during his reign, many temples were not completed. Tea Jiao Temple is one of them, retaining the rough form of stone building, no carving, as an unfinished building, Tea Jiao Temple recorded the construction process of Angkor buildings, becoming an unusually precious information in the history of architecture. Tagao Temple, now known as "Tea Jiao Temple", only because its English name is the same as the name of the Tea Jiao Province in southeast Cambodia, but the actual meaning of its Cambodian language is very different, which is a fallacy. The true meaning of Tagao Temple is "the crystal tower of ancestors" or "glazed tower". We found the Buddha incense and flowers of the sacrifice on the wall of the Tagao Temple, the lotus flower that is in the hands of Apsara, the goddess. What we have to overcome is the fear of the heart. Many of the cut square stones are stacked like wooden blocks we played with as children, because without carving, the stones interact to show the beauty of the building itself. Tagao Temple unexpectedly produces a visual whiteness. In the Angkor culture like brocade embroidery in front of the relief decoration, the minimalism presented by the Tagao Temple is more in line with the confidence of modern architecture, do not rely on painting, sculpture, do not rely on additional colors or decoration, simply by its own structure, establish a unique strength aesthetic. The rough and simple original beauty is the most fascinating place in Tago Temple. Flowers bloom in front of the temple. I feel similar to our country's thousand-day red. Tago Temple provides the best example of Angkor cultural architecture itself. The stacking of stones up and down clearly sees the relationship between the structure. The form of the layer of the altar city, the stone ladder is up, the material and the work method are simple and strict. We have been turning on it for a long time. First, we have a taste of the simple power and charm of this stone, and second, in this white space, we will empty the body and mind against the wind. And one, not too embarrassed to say, I a little dare not go down. Eventually we went down, the stone steps were narrow and smooth, and the angle of view was close to 90 degrees, so I dared only to stay in front of my eyes, sitting directly on the stone steps with my buttocks, and after experiencing the first and most feared steps, we overcame the fear of the body and mind. It was a great experience and I will benefit for life. Best portrait photography point: take a photo with these rough stones at elevation, wear pantsuits, plain colors, remove the decor.
