Day 2: SIEM REAP

1. Siem Reap
   4h
   Breakfast at hotel.
   In the morning, visit the South Gate (with its huge statues depicting the churning of the ocean of milk),
   the ancient capital of Angkor Thom (12th century), Bayon temple (unique for its 54 towers decorated with
   over 200 smiling faces of Avolokitesvara), Baphuon (recently re-opened after years of restoration), the
   Royal Enclosure, Phimeanakas, the Elephants Terrace and the Terrace of the Leper King. Then
   end your morning visit to visit Ta Prohm, one of the area’s most beautiful temples, Ta Prohm has been
   relatively untouched since it was discovered and retains much of its mystery. Its appeal lies in the fact that,
   unlike the other monuments of Angkor, it was abandoned and swallowed by the jungle, looking very much
   the ways most of the Angkor temples appeared when European explorers first stumbled
2. Angkor Wat
   Pass by
   Afternoon, visit the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor: Angkor Wat. The temple
   complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its distinctive five
   towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag and the 12th century masterpiece is considered by art
   historians to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture. Angkor Wat’s five towers
   symbolize Meru’s five peaks - the enclosed wall represents the mountains at the edge of the world and the
   surrounding moat, the ocean beyond. Sunset at Angkor Wat.

Day 4: PHNOM PENH

1. Phnom Penh
   4h
   Breakfast at hotel
   Phnom Penh city tour: start your city tour to visit Wat Phnom temple, Phnom Penh’s namesake. Founded
   in 1373, the pagoda was built to house Buddhist relics washed ashore by the river. Then continues to visit
   the National Museum, also called Musee des Beaux-Arts. A French archaeologist and painter, Georges
   Groslier, designed it in Khmer style in 1917. The museum contains a collection of Khmer art - notably
   sculptures - throughout the ages. Walk to visit the Royal Palace, built by King Norodom in 1866 on the site
   of the old town, and the Silver Pagoda. Located within the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda is so named
   because of its floor, which is made up of 5,000 silver tiles. The treasures found inside include a solid gold
   Buddha encrusted and weighing 90 kilograms and a small 17th century emerald and baccarat crystal Buddha.
2. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
   Pass by
   visit the notorious Tuol Sleng Museum. In 1975 Tuol Svay Prey High School was taken over by Pol Pot's
   security forces and turned into a prison known as Security Prison 21 (S-21). It soon became the largest
   such center of detention and torture in the country. More than 17,000 people held at S-21 were taken to
   the extermination camp at Choeung Ek to be executed; detainees who died during torture were buried in
   mass graves in the prison ground. Room after room the museum displays photographs of men, women and
   children covering the walls from floor to ceiling; virtually all the people pictured were later killed.
   Enjoy a joint Sunset Cruise on the Tonle Sap and Mekong rivers. The boat will pass past floating villages,
   providing great views of the city’s rapidly changing skyline.
