Rising eight
meters high, the laterite wall measures 3x3km and guards many treasures inside,
protected by a moat still flooded today. You will enter the ancient city
through its South Gate. In the very centre lies the temple of Bayon
– silent witnesses of time, the 216 enigmatic faces gaze over the horizon and one can only wonder what
they have seen throughout the ages. Your guide will point out the best angles
for photography here and give explanation of the many intricate carvings on the
walls of the galleries. You will then continue to Baphuon with its long
causeway and an impressive giant Reclining Buddha, a jigsaw puzzle only put
back together in 2011 following a 37 year-long disruption caused by the war. Phimeanakas
is hiding in the shaded jungle and offers a decent over-the-tree-tops view to
those who conquer the steep steps to the top. Continuing along the Esplanade of
the Royal Palace more commonly known as the Terrace of the Elephants you
will wind up your exploration in the shaded area of the picturesque Preah
Palilay.
