What people are saying:
The little luck in traveling is the beautiful scenery that you accidentally discovered that is not in the guide. On the way to the old market, I accidentally encountered a beautiful temple. The blue sky and white clouds were shining with golden light. It is set off by small flowers of various colors. There are also sculptures symbolizing ancient myths. I strayed into it in the afternoon. Although the sun was blazing, I was a little reluctant to move away. Under such hot and strong sunlight, a clean golden spot. Let the heart be purified, when I meet you, I am full of joy.

Wat Preah Prom Rath is one of the oldest temples in Siem Reap. It is a large-scale temple built in the late 15th century and 500 years old in the early 16th century. The appearance of the temple is very beautiful, and the wall decoration at the entrance is very eye-catching. There are Buddhist lecture halls and monks in the temple. The paintings in the gallery have a story of it, very refined. The
temple is located on the banks of the Siem Reap River, very close to the old market area, along the southbound Pokam Bor Street, and can be reached by the post office and some elegantly decorated restaurants. Outside the temple is the downtown area. A temple gate is separated from the bustling temple and enters the Buddhist land from the world.
The temple in the afternoon is much quieter than I thought. There are almost no visitors. Occasionally I saw one or two locals taking a nap under the big tree. The courtyard is lined with elegant, clean and tidy red walls. Like other Buddhist temple buildings in Southeast Asia, the temple draws on the Buddhist architectural art of India and Sri Lanka, and combines the local characteristics to develop a Buddhist architecture art with a Southeast Asian style. Walking into the main hall, the surrounding walls are all murals of Buddhist stories. Under the porch, you can quietly admire the murals and comprehend the Zen environment. The birds and flowers in the temple create a quiet atmosphere that is relaxing.

The architecture and sculpture of ancient Cambodia has long been a leader in Southeast Asia, and Wat Preah Prom Rath, a Buddhist temple with a history of more than 500 years, has also brought the exquisite architecture and sculpture to its fullest.
Stair-shaped platform, tall Khmer-style corn-shaped tower body, and the bottom of the tower can be surrounded by Buddha statues on all four sides.
The magnificent pagoda is divided into many layers, each of which is exquisitely engraved with reliefs of the hands of the gods, and the stars surround the stupas. Under the
stupa are sculptures of various animals and beasts.
The carved Buddha statue, under the sun, solemnly bows his head and overlooks the people under his feet.
Every step in the Wat Preah Prom Rath temple, you can feel the carving time from 500 years ago.
Everywhere is carved with beautiful patterns and mysterious legends.
Although Siem Reap is not a very neat city, in the temple it is seen that the Siem Reap people pursue the ultimate aspect of offering gods.
Potted plants are neatly repaired into a beast;
The temple is clean and bright, and there is no rubbish or fallen leaves at all;
The garden is full of green grass, flowers are blooming, trees are full of trees, full of eyes ;
The hall and the stupa are gorgeous and colorful, which can be said to bring together the essence of Cambodian architectural art. It must be taken care of and maintained.

Near the Old Market in Siem Reap, Cambodia, there is a temple called Wat Preah Prom Rath.
Maybe it has been renovated in recent years. When you see the splendid appearance of the Wat Preah Prom Rath temple, you may not expect it. This is one of the oldest temples in Siem Reap, built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It has been more than 500 years old.
When I first entered the door, I entered the temple of the Thai Grand Palace with a trepidation. I was afraid that I would pay for the tickets, and I was afraid that I would wear trousers to enter the temple.
However, the temple in the afternoon is much quieter than I thought. There are almost no visitors. Occasionally I saw one or two locals taking a nap under the big tree.
Cambodia's Buddhism combines the Buddhist religious system with the secular political system. It is this theocracy that combines royal power and religion. It has laid a good political and social foundation for the prosperity of Buddhism in Southeast Asia. .
Wat Preah Prom Rath Temple, like other Buddhist temple buildings in Southeast Asia, draws on the Buddhist architectural art of India and Sri Lanka, and combines local characteristics to develop a Buddhist architecture art with a Southeast Asian style.

This is a temple not very far from the Siem Reap River. It is relatively low-key, but after you come in, you will find a lot of sights in it, such as the two big cows in the temple. There are really not many cows in Cambodian temples. Most of them are Hindu naga. In addition, the temple is still very large, divided into several palaces. I thought I would need tickets here, but after I walked in, I found that I just took off. You can go inside the temple with your shoes, which adds to the surprises and fun of your trip.
This is a very small attraction in Cambodia, but the area of this temple is really big. He was also a temple I accidentally checked in. Originally I wanted to walk from the night market to the Siem Reap Post Office, but I saw such a big temple and it was full of many historical stories, so I stopped here. I visited it in about half an hour.
A temple near the old market in Siem Reap. Unlike the temples of Angkor Wat, this is a magnificent temple. There is a reclining Buddha inside. Outside are numerous stupas. There is also a ship-shaped sculpture, which is said to be built because of the moving story of a monk using a ship to protect and transport food. There is an introduction to this story on the corridor of the temple. The small temple is not big and is open for free. No one goes there on a hot day. But the photos are still pretty good-looking.
Cambodia, Siem Reap. Wandering in the city, at the bridgehead by the river, I found this courtyard. Nobody is in charge of the entrance. Just enter. The courtyard is large. There are various statues in the courtyard. There are not many tourists. It is a local temple with many monks. There are charity classrooms to teach English. Take off your shoes when entering the hall.
