Phnom Bakheng is a hill 1.5 kilometers northwest of Angkor Wat. Its elevation is less than 70 meters. It is the highest point nearby. It can be seen from the top of Bakhen Mountain. Bakan Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva in the Ankor monument of Cambodia. It was founded in the 9th century. The temple was built on the Bakan Mountains by King Jerobama I of the Angkor Dynasty after he founded the capital of Angkor. The base is a pyramid-like five-storey platform with towers on each floor. Climbing Mount Bacon takes 15 to 20 minutes along a slightly steep mountain path, which is not very difficult to walk, but also a bit challenging for those who have no experience in climbing. Especially for the tourists from the plain area, the mountain road of Bakan Mountain is really very primitive, & 183; & 183; & 183; & 183; & 183; & 183; & 183; & 183; & 183; & 183; If you don't want to climb down Bakan Mountain and change into a land father or grandmother, you should never wear light-colored clothes and shoes to climb Bakan Mountain (especially white). In addition, no man or woman can wear shoulder-length clothes, knee-length trousers or flip-flops to climb Mount Bacon. (Girls should always wear skirts.) Along the way to Mount Bacon, you will pass a wooden viewing platform. The viewing platform extends outwards, where you can overlook Donglisa Lake. But if you are like us, buy tickets to catch the sunset, I suggest you do not stay here as early as possible, because in order to ensure the safety of tourists, but also to protect historic sites, the total number of visitors to the top of the Bakan temple is controlled every day. When the number of visitors to the top of the Bakan Temple reaches a certain level, the staff will close the passage and stop putting visitors on it (but all those who climb the top of the temple). Ninety-nine times out of ten tourists wait for the sun to set completely, so you don't expect to be able to get up again after the passage is closed.

    Bakken Mountain is a hill about 70 meters high, about1.5 kilometers northwest of Angkor Wat. To the west of the mountain is the open West Baray, and the jungle in the southeast is Angkor Wat. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook Angkor Wat. The Baken Mountains were the result of the relocation of Yasuo Samo I, who moved from the Lolo Temple to the Baken Mountains, where the buildings of the previous king were already rebuilt, and were not suitable for the young monarch to realize his urban planning. The site of Yasutara Buluo, centered on Bakan Mountain, was the capital of Cambodia until the 15th century.

The height of Baken Mountain is 65 meters surrounded by trenches, symbolizing the Aral Sea of Sumi Mountain in the center of the world in Indian mythology. Baken Temple is built on a flat mountain top. The Baken Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva in the monuments of Angkor in Cambodia. It was a temple built on the Baken Mountain after the 9th century Angkor king Yasuo Samo I built the capital of Angkor. The temple mountain is a steep five-level platform, square, 13 meters high, the bottom is 76 meters long, and the layer by layer is reduced to 47 meters long. The steep temple mountain symbolizes Sumi Mountain. The five pagodas at the top of the temple symbolize the five peaks of Sumi Mountain. The center of the platform is four sides, each with a steep five-story stone steps, each level of ten, directly connected to the temple top platform, each layer of stone steps around, guarding a pair of sitting lions, some stone lions have been damaged, can not see the lion appearance.

    Mount Bakan is a hill 1.5 kilometers northwest of Angkor Wat. It is about 70 meters high. It is the only high point nearby. To the west of the mountain is the open West Pool, and to the southeast is the Angkor Wat in the jungle. From the top of Mount Bacon, you can overlook the Angkor Wat. Mount Bacon allows only 300 people to watch the sunset at the top of the mountain every day. They need to get a pass to go up. We waited on the hill at 3:30. Of course, in order to occupy a good position, we sat in the sun for another two hours, in order to wait for the sunset of Mount Bacon. It's really hot and sunny, but it's worth it for the picture and the feeling in my heart, isn't it?
