With more than 40 temples, some of which are in ruins, Angkor Archaeological Park is shrouded with myth, mystery and legend.
Angkor Wat, as the main attraction, is regarded as the most magnificent and comprehensively restored temple. The notable artistry of its massive moats and bas-relief carvings are best viewed at the sunrise or sunset. Photography of Angkor Wat is best taken at dawn as the towers are reflected in the lake beyond the moat wall.

Ta Prohm and Banteay Kdei with enormous silk-cotton trees and strangler figs growing from the ruins are best visited at the heat of the day. The roots of silk-cotton tree entwined with the towers and corridors offer a jungle photogenic atmosphere.
