Although it closes at 17:30, it is a peaceful place to watch the sunset. The staff here didn’t urge us to leave and allowed us to take pictures. We left at 6pm but there were still a few people on top. Don’t know when they would leave. Haha

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Rorosh complex is the masterpiece of Indravarman I. It is one of the large temples built by the Khmers and marked the beginning of the era of Khmer classical art. There are mainly Shenniu Temple, Bakong Temple and Luolei Temple. Facing east, the six stone halls of PreahKo are arranged in two rows and are decorated with sandstone carvings and plaster reliefs, which are the best preserved in Angkor. There are three sacred cows on the pagoda of Shenniu Temple, and they have been damaged to varying degrees for a long time. Bakong is the larger and very interesting temple in the Rollos complex, with an active Buddhist monastery on the north side of its eastern entrance. Bakong Temple is a temple built by Indravarman I to worship Lord Shiva. It is flanked by eight pagodas of mixed brick and sandstone structures, and two small sanctuaries. Many of the eight pagodas below the tower still partially retain the stone statues of the party.

Ankor Wat or Siem Reap Center is quite far east. It takes a long time to ride a bicycle. It is a worthwhile trip. Quietly enjoy the buildings such as Bakong Temple and Shenniu Temple, and there is also a small pond.
We spent a wonderful 3 hours here and ended the day at Bakong Temple. The Red Sandstone Tower of Shenniu Temple is beautiful and Bakong Temple is majestic. It was one of the highlights of our 3-day temple tour and would definitely recommend. The Rollos group is the site of the first capital city of the Khmer Empire and we are honored to visit this historic site. The driver told us that the temple was built in the 9th century and is older than Angkor Wat.
The Rolos group and the collapse column belong to one direction, and far from the Angkor and other buildings, so it is best to arrange a car rental all day. This day, you can take Carmen's "May Bloom" or "Traveling around the world Cambodia and Angkor Temple" one of them, holding a book, walking slowly and reading slowly, looking at every building, and carefully tasting every corner of the sculpture. Sitting in the ruins of the past and feeling the glory of the art! Loroz group is located about 15 kilometers southeast of Siem Reap City, composed of the existing Bagong Temple (Temple of Bakong), Shenniu Temple (Temple of Preah Ko), and Luole Temple (Temple of Lolei). The three temples, all built in the late 9th century, are the earliest buildings of the Angkor era, which lasted about 600 years, and are known as the beginning of the Khmer Art Classical Period (Beginning of Classic Period of Khmer Art). They all use the same architectural structure, carving materials and construction methods.
Lolai is part of the Lolos Site Group. The Lolos Group is divided into three relics, consisting of Bakong, Lolai and Preah Ko, also known as the Shenniu Temple. Located about 12 kilometers southeast of Siem Reap, the Locs ruins were built during the Angkor dynasty in the 9th century AD and are considered the beginning of Angkor's architectural art, whose architectural styles nurtured the important foundation of Angkor's ancient civilization. The Luolei Temple, a red brick building, was the last major temple before the relocation of the capital Angkor. It was originally designed to be built on an artificial island in the center of the reservoir, and is the architectural space in Angkor's building that talks with "water". Since Jelen Samoa I has decided to move to Angkor, the site of Loroz has left unfinished reservoirs and temples. Loroz is under maintenance. Relying on Loroz, it is a newly built temple, how does this modern color compare to the original red?
Shenniu Temple and Bakong Temple, Luolei Temple, together form the Luoluo Temple Group, they are the temple group in the early days of the Angkor Dynasty, located in the southeast of Angkor Temple about half an hour's drive, generally outer circle trips will come here. Around 800 AD, the Khmers built Shenniu Temple and Bakong Temple, and Luolei Temple was built halfway. Suddenly they found a better address - Baken Mountain, so they moved over. It is rare to see the glory of the Angkor Dynasty. We missed the sunset of Baken Mountain, and refused the sunset of Lake Donglisa, and experienced a different quiet dusk in Bakong Mountain.
The Rollos group consists of Shenniu Temple, Bakong Temple and Lore Temple, a three-story corridor structure. Lore Temple is the most damaged, the whole is wrapped in scaffolding, it is difficult to appreciate the exquisite statues; The Bacon Temple is the first mature temple mountain building of the Angkor Dynasty. The pyramid has five floors, representing Naga, Golden Wing Bird, Luocha, Night Fork and God. There is an elephant at every corner from the first to the third floor, but the elephant nose is missing. The fourth floor is surrounded by twelve small shrine towers. The central tower is Angkor-style, like a lotus flower, the Tiva on the wall is lifelike; from the hot air balloon overlooking the particularly spectacular moat, the woods around the square temple; The temple has six towers, the central tower is dedicated to the holy god of worship, the "greatest angel", is another title of Shiva god, and is also the first king of the Angkor dynasty, Jehovah II. The two towers were dedicated to their father and grandfather, and the three towers were dedicated to their wives.
The Rollos complex was one of the earliest large, permanent temples built by the Khmers, marking the beginning of the Khmer era of classical art. Mainly there are Shenniu Temple, Bakong Temple and Lore Temple. After the vicissitudes of time, these temples have been damaged to varying degrees. Therefore, it can be called the Rolos ruins, but its tall ruins still do not lose the majesty of the year, from the ruins of the wall people can still see a different kind of beauty, or people do not say, to find beauty, let alone for this ancient building, everywhere revealed the classical beauty.
