Siem Reap - The Gateway to the Famous Temple Angkor Wat

From the 9th to the 15th centuries, Siem Reap locating in Northwest Cambodia was famous for being the site of the Khmer Empire's successive capitals. This region is the gateway to the well-known Angkor temple complex - especially Angkor Wat which is Siem Reap's biggest tourist draw. With a wealth of cultural attractions (most beautiful biggest temples in the world, traditional markets & museums) and interesting activities (day tour to visit some floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake & book the cultural performances), discovering Siem Riep is definitely a highlight for many tourists travelling through Southeast Asia.
