There is a very wide moat outside the gate of Angkor Tongwang City. It is said that it is not naturally formed, but dug out. In ancient times, there were many crocodiles in it. I have never seen such a wide moat in China. There is a bridge on the river, and the statue of the railing of the bridge is derived from the story of the Hindu stirring of the milk sea. The statue looks very similar, but there is also a way to distinguish. The apricot eye is God, and the round eye is the devil.

    The Tongwang City of Angkor is surrounded by the moat. There are bridges on the river. There are two rows of stone statues on both sides of the bridge. The four-sided Buddha statues on the left are different in each expression. Some are serious, some smile, and some are kind, representing the angels. The stone statue on the right represents Ashuro, the embodiment of the messenger of hell, with a serious and vicious expression, and a common town to guard the king's city.

    The moat bridge is also an attraction where we have to get off and take pictures when we go here, because not only can we take pictures of the largest entrance to Tongwang City, but also the main gate is the victory gate. And here, you can also take pictures of statues after statues on the bridge. It is a pity that many statues are no longer on their bodies, they have resisted the disasters of various wars, but have not resisted the greed of the theft. Anyway, in a good weather, many beautiful photos can be taken here.

    The moat bridges leading to the gates of Angkor Thom, and then the temples within are some of the most photogenic places in the entire Angkor complex. In the high season, there can sometimes be a line of people waiting here to take pictures, but during the rest of the year it is a lot more bearable.

    Through this ancient stone bridge, then continue to walk about 4 kilometers to Bayon Temple, there are several temples to enjoy. At this time, I was quite tired, a motorcycle brother offered to take me for free, I refused out of self-esteem, but then regretted, hey. Bayan Temple is famous for its mysterious "smiles", which refers to the large smiling Buddha face carved on four sides of the many stone towers built on the high platform.

    There is a moat bridge I like very much outside the south gate of Tongwang City, Angkor. I pass it almost every day when I walk through Angkor, and I am amazed every time I pass. I have seen the sunset on the bridge. Although I can see the sunset from a high place, the sunset of the river is also beautiful. There is a row of stone carvings on the east and west sides of the moat bridge, the east side is Asura, the eyes are full of anger, and the west side is Xiura, the eyes are kind. Together they staged the mythical story of stirring the milk sea. The whole bridge with the king's face above the south gate, immediately gave people a mysterious, atmospheric beauty. I really like it.
