Siem Reap - Angkor Archeological Park - Angkor Wat

We spent 1 day from sunrise to sunset on exploring some of the temples around the Angkor Archeological Park. Too many temples to explore! So we only did some selective temples. It was just simply amazing how the temples were built. Angkor Wat was just the very first temple we visited, it is a must-go if you are in Siem Reap.

We decided to pick a point in Angkor Wat instead of waiting outside for the sunrise. Here, this is the point we've found.
