: Continue to visit Angkor Wat and view the sunset from Phnom Bakheng hill : Angkor Wat, the largest temple at the Angkor complex. Constructed during the first half of the 12th century, Angkor Wat is the supreme masterpiece of Khmer art. It was built by Suryavaram II (1112-1152) to honor the Hindu god Vishnu, with whom the king was identified, and for eventual use as the king's burial site. Entire books have been written about the temple, but even these valiant attempts at description fall far short of communicating the great size, the perfect proportions, and the astoundingly beautiful sculpture that everywhere presents itself to the viewer. It is not among the author's most favorite sacred places in the sense of its meditative atmosphere or earth-spirit energy , yet for an experience of architectural majesty and artistic refinement , Angkor Wat certainly ranks amongst the ten greatest structures of human civilization. To approach via the long causeway, to amble about the sprawling courtyards, to ascend the towering central shrine, is to step for a short while into a realm of such granduer, such unrestrained power that one's mind and soul are intoxicated with inspiration and infinite possibility.

: Visit Mebon Oriental Ta Som, Neak Pean and Preah Khan Temples, Preah Khan was built in 1191 during the reign of King Jayavarman VII. He was a warrior king celebrated for reconstructing the Khmer Empire after a period of fragmentation. Jayavarman first made a name for himself in 1165, when news of a rebellion reached his ears. Rushing home from the Cham Kingdom, where he resided, he arrived too late to stop the usurper Tribhuvanadityavarman from crowning himself King of the Khmers. Jayavarman was powerless to interfere, but waited patiently for an opportunity. Finally in 1177, the Cham kingdom sent an invasion force against the Khmer usurper, joined by native elements, that toppled him in a bloody campaign. Fighting even reached Angkor, laying waste to the capital. The victorious Cham occupied Khmer territory as a foreign power, but their rule was not to last long.
