The Victory Gate

One of the important relics of the royal city, the brilliance of the dynasty can be seen from it.

There is no need to hire a car to go there, because walking or other ways from Angkor Wat to Bayon is a better experience. This is a magical place, not only because of the sculptures on the bridge, but also the weird gates, the river and the surrounding trees are also worthy of your stop and watch. The Rosary Temple also surprised me. Sometimes, the surrounding environment of the temple touched me more deeply than the temple itself. As usual, I have attached photos in the comments, and I hope you guys will also come to see this beautiful place.

Everyone knows that the most well-known Khmer smiles in Tongwang City are the Khmer smiles. In fact, when we are about to enter Tongwang City, we can see these Khmer smiles. The smile on the Victory Gate is particularly calm and very peaceful. From the front, back, left, and right sides, everyone can see the smiling face. It seems that a small door can only pass through a car. But standing here and closing my eyes, I can feel that when the entire Angkor dynasty was strong thousands of years ago, the army here returned triumphantly and walked through this gate.

Many people confuse the Victory Gate in Angkor Wat with the South Gate of Tongwangcheng. In fact, they are the two gates in Tongwang City, and the Victory Gate is the east gate leading to Tongwang City. Although he is not as spectacular as the South Gate, his shape and scale are very similar to ours. There is also a Khmer smile on the door. There are more gods on both sides that are stirring the sea of milk. Compared with the crowded crowd at the South Gate, I prefer the tranquility on the east gate, maybe standing in a daze here, you can see more of what you want.

Once you enter the Victory Gate, you enter the mysterious and magnificent Angkor City. The whole gate is not particularly tall. You can see the smile directly above you when you look up. In fact, you can also go up and have a look next to him. There will also be a smiling Buddha statue.
