Outside the west gate of the King Angkor City, in the center of the West Pool, about 11 kilometers northwest of Siem Reap, built in the second half of the 11th century, Hindu, worshiping Vishnu. The site of the Simei Ben Temple is located on the central island of Xichi, one of Angkor's most important water projects, the world's largest artificial pool. It was originally dedicated to a huge performance of Vishnu's bronze statue of rest in the water of the universe. The bronze statue has now been moved to the National Museum in Phnom Penh. There are boats on the south bank of Xichi to get to the island.

    It seems that this temple and another temple are symmetrical, and the other is called Dongmei Ben Temple! The itinerary of the big circle and the outer circle looks really a bit aesthetic fatigue every day, it is similar.

    In fact, I saw that it was a bit mysterious and tired, and there were some monuments everywhere red bricks that were weathered, but it was different to give people a special feeling, because its carving was different from other.

    This temple is a little far from the main scenic spots, and after coming here, it is relatively isolated, close to the river, it feels like there is no loss if you don't come here, everyone look at your time.

    I think this temple is a bit far worse than other attractions in Angkor. First, it is very irregular here. There are various things to sell along the way. Second, the temple itself has nothing to look at.

    Simei Ben is a temple, personally prefer here, because he is near Xichi, but because the government lacks this knowledge, does not manage him too much, looks very shabby, damage is more serious.
