Prasat Bat Chum

When I first saw Baqiong Temple, I thought he was a ruin, because the temple is really dilapidated and very bad, although it is located near the Douban Temple, but obviously there are few tourists here. I was tired too, so I went around this desolate place alone, there is not much artistic value, can be referenced, but there is a great historical value for future generations to study, I think there are many professional history and archaeologists will be interested here.

Baqiong Temple is a 10th Century Monument next to Cardamom Temple. Here you can see three towers facing the east side by side on the same base altar, three brick main halls, the ruins themselves are not big, but there are also buildings on the East side.

Riding a bicycle first goes to Numeg Temple, then follows the route on the map to Baqiong Temple not far away. It's very quiet here. Generally, tourists don't come here, so there are no tourists. There are farmland around. Baqiong Temple is a relatively small scale, with three east-facing minarets on the same platform, and it is also a Shiva-style building.

Prasat Bat Chum is just in the early stages of renovation. To get here, you will need to drive down a fairly dusty, bumpy dirt road for 5~10 minutes. Nice though that you will pass by schools, villages etc. Everyone is very friendly, and guaranteed that you will have the temple all to yourself. Not many people visit.

Baqiong Monastery is next to Cardamom Monastery. It's a small red brick building. This Buddhist temple was built by the same architect who designed the East Mebon temple in East Mebon. Even in the Khmer era, where there were many inscriptions left, it was the only architect to remain famous in the world. There are three towers facing east side by side on the same altar, and three brick main halls. Although the remains are small, there are also gates, moats and reservoirs on the East side. Sandstone is used as reinforcing material at the opening, and stone inscriptions remain in each of the three towers. There is a stone lion carved from sandstone in the center. Baqiong Temple worships Shiva and represents Mount Xumi. It has five floors. There are eight pagodas under the central pagoda. There are also early gypsum reliefs. It's also a good experience to listen to Buddha's voice while enjoying a moment of peace in the sunset.

The main buildings here are five spire Buddhist pagodas standing on high platforms, which can be seen from a distance. They are also the most famous landmark building in Angkor Wat and become the absolute protagonist in the propaganda pictures. In front of the Buddhist temple, two water pools are still intact, and the water is still ripple, the lotus is overflowing and the "reflection of the five pagodas" has become the most classic photographic landscape. For the protection of cultural relics, the temple is paved with wooden pavements, which are accessible in all directions.
