The base of Angkor Wat has also evolved from the simple flat base in the early days to the artistic Xumi pedestal, which is wide at the top and bottom and slightly narrow in the middle, forming a waist; the waist is decorated with horizontal edges, which is strong and simple. The base also occupies an important position in Chinese classical architecture, and multi-layered bases are also a common architectural form.

The biggest difference between the Angkor Wat platform and the classical Chinese platform is the buildings around the platform; the Chinese platform is often surrounded by pillars and stone railings about one meter high, while the Angkor Wat platform is surrounded by 4-5 meter high stone pillars and circular galleries. The multi-layered platform of Angkor Wat is several times higher than the Chinese platform of the same number of layers.

The corridor is another outstanding architectural feature of Angkor Wat. The corridor of Angkor Wat is composed of three elements: the inner wall and the outer wall, the rows of columns and the double eaves of the corridor roof. In addition to the obvious practical functions, these three elements contribute to the beauty of the building.

The long gallery, with dozens of columns lined up in a row, adds a sense of rhythm to the horizontal space of Angkor Wat. The double eaves of the gallery add a sense of vertical rhythm to the appearance of Angkor Wat.

The corridor first appeared on the top platform of the sky palace and reached its peak in Angkor Wat. Each of the three platforms had a corridor, like the repetition of the melody of a piece of music, getting higher and stronger step by step, and finally returning to the main central pagoda.

The corridors of Angkor Wat are varied, some with stone pillars, and those with stone pillars are either two rows of stone pillars on one side, or two rows of stone pillars on each side, not one row on one side or one row on each side. Because the vaults of the corridors of Angkor Wat are high, the top arch structure is not a true arch made of radial wedge-shaped bricks.

Instead, the stone bricks on the two walls are staggered horizontally, and finally closed at the center line, and then the capping stone is placed to form a corbel arch. This type of corbel arch has a smaller span. If there is only a single row of stone columns, it is difficult to protect against rain with a high and narrow arch alone. Therefore, it is necessary to build a side corridor, add half an arch, and widen the total width of the arch to protect against rain.

Therefore, the two rows of stone columns on the same side, one row supports the main vault, and the other row supports the vault of the side gallery. In Angkor Wat, any corridor with double columns must have a single-sided side gallery, and only one side looks like a double eaves; any corridor with four rows of stone columns, that is, two rows of stone columns on each side, has side galleries on both sides; it looks like a double eaves from any side.

The corridor has two rows of stone pillars, one side of which is open and the other side is a stone wall. Some of the walls of the corridors in Angkor Wat are carved walls without windows in the middle, some have open windows to look out, and some have decorative straight gourd lattice false windows; the walls between the open windows or false windows are decorated with reliefs of goddesses wearing golden crowns and golden bracelets.

The entrances and exits of the corridors are quite exquisite and come in two forms: the tower gate with a tower and the gallery gate without a tower. The gallery gate is like a pavilion, extending outwards two or three steps at right angles to the corridor. Each pavilion has an arched roof and two or three pairs of columns. There are finely carved lintels and pediments on the top of each step.

The layout of the corridor includes three types: straight corridor, corridor and cross corridor; the cross corridor usually forms a field corridor with the corridor. The corridor from the outer wall to the top floor is as follows: the outer wall: straight gourd lattice virtual window double column double eaves corridor.

The base enclosure: carved screens, double columns, double eaves corridors; the middle enclosure: straight gourd lattice, virtual windows, single eaves corridors; the top enclosure: double columns, double eaves corridors with visible windows; the top and middle level Tianzi Pavilion: four columns, cross-shaped double eaves corridors. The architects of Angkor Wat skillfully used space, using long avenues to show the depth of space, and using the horizontal extension of corridors to construct a sense of width of the building.

The overlapping perspectives of corridors at different levels create a sense of height. Although Angkor Wat does not have a large central building, its appearance is comparable to that of a large central building. The stone towers of Angkor Wat are round on the top and densely eaves on the bottom. The upper level is solid and has a corbel vault. The lower level and the corridor are organically combined to form the tower gate, and a shrine is set up inside the tower.

The outline of the circular pagoda is parabolic, surrounded by a beautiful lotus eaves on the first floor. The stone pagodas of Angkor have gone through several stages of development. In the early 9th century, the pagodas of Angkor were independent dense eaves towers. In the 10th century, towers arranged on platforms appeared, such as the twin towers of the Cardamom Temple (921) and the East Mebon (951).

The central tower of the sky palace stands on the altar with a corridor. The early 11th century Ta Keo Temple (1001) is a typical ancient Indian style Vajra Throne Tower, with five pagodas on a three-level throne. The pagoda and corridor of Ta Prohm Temple (1191) are combined into the Pagoda Gate Corridor, where the prototype of the outer wall corridor of Angkor Wat can be seen.

The reason why Angkor Wat is called the pinnacle of Khmer architectural art is that it organically integrates elements of early architectural art such as pagodas, corridors, cloisters, and altars: pagodas and cloisters are integrated into tower gate cloisters, and tower gate cloisters are integrated with altars, and stacked into an altar with multi-layer tower gate cloisters.

The round sculptures in Angkor Wat are not outstanding. The round sculptures on the base are heavy and dull, but the reliefs are extremely delicate and realistic. There are reliefs on the inner walls of the corridors, the columns, the stone walls, the cornerstones, the window lintels, and the railings.

The content is mainly about the legend of the Hindu god Vishnu, which is taken from the Indian epics "Mahabharata" and "Ramayana" and the Hindu mythology "Ocean of Milk". There are also secular scenes such as war, royal travels, cooking, crafts, agricultural activities, etc. The decorative patterns are based on animals and plants.

The corridor surrounding the first-level platform of the main hall is called the "relief corridor". It is 800 meters long, with a wall height of more than 2 meters and is covered with reliefs. The churning of the milk sea on the east wall, the battle between Vishnu and the devil on the north wall, and the monkey god helping Rama in battle on the west wall all depict mythological stories; while the picture of Suryavarman II riding an elephant to fight on the western half of the south wall is a secular theme.

These reliefs are skillfully crafted, with complex scenes, vivid figures, lifelike images, and overlapping layers to show the deep space, which can be regarded as masterpieces in the history of world art. Looking out from inside, you can see many graceful reliefs on the wall, which are said to symbolize fairies descending to the earth.

The carving technology of thousands of years ago could depict the fairies so vividly, and each one has a completely different expression, face, and clothing. It can be said to be a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship. This group of beautiful fairies dancing with their hands and feet is called Apsara, and is also known as the Mona Lisa of the East. It is said that they were transformed from waves.

The magnificent Angkor Wat is full of life because of these beautiful fairies. In addition to the fairies outside the wall, you can see exquisite and delicate carvings everywhere when walking in the temple, sometimes on the pillars, sometimes on the corners of the wall. Some are convex, some are concave, and even works that alternate between the two are not difficult to find.

Even the windows in the corridor are fenced with small stone pillars. When the sunlight shines into the corridor through the windows, it creates a beauty that blends humanity and nature.

Angkor Wat was built by a Southeast Asian nation called the Khmer (now called the Khmer) around 802 AD, when King Jayavarman II established the glorious Khmer Empire, which prospered for 600 years.

In the 12th century, Angkor architecture reached its peak in art. All the walls of the Angkor temples built at that time were carved with exquisite reliefs, and each platform was surrounded by a corridor facing all four directions, connecting the temple, corner towers and stairs. Even the walls of the corridors were carved with reliefs describing ancient Indian myths.

Angkor Wat is not only huge in scale, but also has a nearly 10-meter-wide embankment outside the temple. It leads directly to the temple gate, and huge and majestic Naga snake statues stand on both sides of the embankment. Generally speaking, all temples in the world face east, but only Angkor Wat faces west, which puzzled archaeologists who later studied ancient Khmer.

Since then, the city-building work of the kings of the Angkor dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation.

The exquisite architecture of the Angkor civilization is so impressive that it was suddenly deserted in the early 15th century. In the following centuries, the Angkor area became a forest and wasteland overgrown with trees and weeds, with only a once glorious ancient city hidden in it. Until Mouhot discovered this ruin in the 19th century, even the local Cambodian residents knew nothing about it.

It is said that the culture of any nation should have its continuity, not to mention that Angkor was a dynasty that had prospered for 600 years, but its culture was suddenly interrupted and disappeared in the long river of history. Some people attribute this to foreign invasion, but foreign invasion may lead to the change of dynasties, but it cannot make all the people of a nation disappear.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

According to research, there were more than one million people living in the Angkor area in the past. Where did this nation and these people go? This is really a mystery that cannot be solved.

Tickets: There are three types of tickets for Angkor: $20 for one day, $40 for three days, and $60 for seven days. Tickets for the second day start selling at 5 pm, and you can go in and visit after buying the ticket (the general choice is to go to Phnom Bakheng to watch the sunset).

However, no more tourists will be allowed to go up the mountain after 5:30. Only one person can go up the mountain after one person goes down. There are many people queuing, so it is best to go there at 4:30 to queue up to go up the mountain to watch the sunset.

You no longer need to bring photos when applying for Angkor tickets. All tickets are made on the spot using photos taken by cameras, and have also been replaced with printed paper tickets. Please make sure to keep the three-day or seven-day tickets properly.

Before the ticket is made and sent to you, the ticket seller will read out the relevant rules in English. There will be management personnel checking tickets at any time in the scenic area. If anyone is found without a ticket, he will be fined $80.

2. Safety: Many buildings in Angkor are very tall, and the stairs are steep, narrow and slippery (with a lot of sand). Please pay attention to safety and don't be too brave. A pair of well-fitting and non-slip shoes is necessary.

3. Heatstroke prevention: Angkor is very hot at noon, so it is best to rest in the cool temple or in the hotel. If you want to save time, you can visit some attractions in the jungle, just like waiting. Of course, you must bring enough water and food. You can buy mosquito repellent lotion in the pharmacy of
