The Angkor Thom City may be regarded as a holy city by tourists, students, researchers or believers from the moment they enter through the southern gate and then see the multiple temples grouped together at the core of the complex.

Aside from the bigger and marvelous historical sites of the Bayon and Baphuon temples, there are other sanctuaries such as the Preah Palilay temple, the Preah Pithu temple, the Khleangs and the West Prasat Top temple. These sanctuaries are perfect for those who long for peace and genuine quietness.  And tourists can always feel free to perform athletic activities such as walking or cycling around the temples’ grounds.

Owing to the excellent renovation, the southern gate has become the most important among the five Angkor Thom gates and the crowd’s favorite to capture stunning pictures of the sculptures along the entrance.
