There are many people discussing the topic of whether Baken Mountain is worth it. But I believe that this year's May Day Baken Mountain must be worth it, because there are definitely fewer people. The reason for not worth it is because the number of visitors on the mountain is fixed every evening, and many people will come here around 3 o'clock in order to be able to watch the sunset of Angkor Wat, so that we lose a lot of time to see other attractions. If you come late, you will appear in the picture above and be trapped outside the temple. But don't worry, choose a good angle and you can also see the beautiful sunset.

    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.

    Bakken Mountain (Phnom Bakheng) is a hill1.5 kilometers northwest of Angkor Wat. From the top of Baken Mountain, you can look at Angkor Wat from the top of Baken Mountain. 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?
