Its rectangular walls are 800 meters long and 700 meters wide. There are four paths leading to the temple, and at the entrance of the temple stand several Shuras and Asuras holding long snakes.

After breakfast we will drive to the Queen's Palace（Banteay Srei）, known as a pearl in the crown of Angkorian art, fascinating in its brilliant colors and exquisite reliefs. Unlike the green sandstone used in most of the Angkorian monuments, the Queen's Palace is built with Khmer red clay and slightly peach-colored stones, which are extremely colorful. Its walls, pillars, lintels and other architectural surfaces are almost completely covered with bas-relief carvings without a single gap, which are marvelous in their intricate rounded shapes and delicate, soft lines.

Then proceed to Beng Mealea, one of the most mysterious temples of Angkor. Completely lost in the wilderness, you can explore Angkor Wat in its most pristine form amidst the densely forested ruins, making it the most rewarding and at the same time the most difficult to visit of the Angkor complex of ruins. Beng Mealea is almost identical in size and design to the Angkor temples, but is still too tightly wrapped in the jungle to get a full view. When you arrive at Bumiputra, you'll realize that Bumiputra today looks a lot like it did when foreign explorers discovered Angkor: the temple is badly collapsed, hidden by trees, and there's no way to get there. If you have seen the movie “Tomb Raider”, you will still remember the Tabucheng Temple, which gives you a feeling of wonder, while  Beng Mealea brings you more shock.

King Sihanouk's Palace (Exterior): Located at the intersection of National Highway 6 and Pokambor Avenue, beside the beautiful royal garden and Siem Reap River, the gate is inlaid with the gold-plated Cambodian coat of arms, and a pair of stately stone lions are sitting beside the gate, in front of the lions there are also two ancient cannons of old times, and beside the palace there is a huge portrait of the king.
