This is the boundary from Siem Reap City to the Angkor City, and this gate is the southern end of the whole Angkor City. The gate is very unique, but you can actually see the Angkor smile, because it is carved with a typical Khmer smile. And it's the beginning of the congestion in the whole city, because the gates are so small and there are too many tourists willing to get off the bus and take pictures. Plus it's one way, so cars and tutu cars will wait here for a while.
This is the Angkor City, commonly known as the Great Angkor (as opposed to the Little Angkor). The south gate is 23 meters high, the top of the huge four-sided Buddha, smiling calmly, is one of the signs of the ancient site of Angkor. The center of the city is the Bayan Temple. The south gate, 23 meters high, is a huge four-faced Buddha statue, smiling calmly, is one of the Angkor monuments. The most famous is the four-faced Buddha. Inside the city of Angkor, the Bayan Temple, there are 49 huge four-faced Buddha statues, known as the Khmer Smiling Buddha statue.
Most tourists to Angkor Tong Wangcheng visit, will enter from the South Gate. The South Gate is the relatively well-preserved entrance to Angkor Tong Wangcheng. The moat in the South Gate is very wide, there is a bridge on the river, the statue of the bridge railing is also famous, is the famous story of the stirring milk sea. The apricot eye is the god, the round eye is the demon. The gate is especially special, above is the four-faced Buddha head of Juy Batma VII himself, every person who enters and leaves the gate will look up at him.
Angkor city south gate Angkor city has 5 gates, each gate entrance has 54 stone statues, about 27, is shura and asura in stirring milk sea, the absence of serious, repaired head can be seen at a glance. Once you get to the south gate, you can see the scene of Hinduism, "stir milk sea". Later, it was found that every door of Angkor City has this theme. Not only the gate of Angkor City, but also the entrance of some temples. In the relief sculptures of Angkor Wat, this theme also takes up a lot of space, playing Angkor. The legend of "stirring milk sea", however, must be known.
