If time is tight, every temple in Angkor Wat is not necessarily to go, but the Barong temple is to go. TIPS - "1, because the Barong temple is east-facing, so the best time to take a positive picture of the Bayang temple is in the morning; 2, it is suggested to go early and take good pictures, we arrived at more than 8 o'clock, there are already many tour groups. 3. If time permits, you should go to the Barong Temple again at dusk, when there are quite a few people. Under the golden light of the sunset, the soft light is also suitable for taking pictures. To Barong Temple, the most important thing must be to see the four-sided Buddha, and Cambodia is known as "Khmer's smile" mainly because of the four-sided Buddha. There are 49 pagodas in Barong Temple, all of which are giant statues of four-sided Buddhas. The statues are typical of the faces of Khmer people. It is said that they are the faces of King Rongye Bamao VII, the God who built Barong Temple. Forty-nine pagodas, together with five pagoda-like gates, represented 54 provinces under the control of the then prosperous Angkor dynasty. Looking from afar, it is already very spectacular. The Buddha has a peaceful smile on his face. This is the "Khmer smile" that makes Angkor Wat famous in the world. Some people say that this is the seventh King of Voyaba, who left his own smile on 49 stones, each with four smiles, nearly 200 faces. If Mona Lisa is the most beautiful woman's smile, then the smile of Royal Yabama VII in Barong Temple should be the most beautiful male's smile. Hundreds of years after Hinduism ruled Angkor, the greatest monarch in Angkor's history, Poyama VII, suddenly converted to Buddhism and carved smiling Buddhas everywhere in Bayan Temple, as if foreseeing the future of this land, his people will suffer a variety of hardships and comfort the people with a smile.

    Love this temple with carved faces that many believed is similar to King Javavarman VIi features. It's not just about faces though. it also shows facets of ordinary life in the 12th century.

    Bayan Temple is one of the important representatives of the miracle of Angkor Wat. It is located in the center of Angkor Tongwang City. The corridor is 160 meters long and 140 meters long. The corridor was originally built with wooden roofs, but due to the age, only the remnants of the broken walls and the huge stone pillars are left for future generations to hang. The walls of Bayan Temple are still preserved with exquisite and vivid reliefs, war scenes, daily life, and scenery of the lakeside of Donglisa Lake. It is definitely a precious historical monument. From the outside, the Bayan Temple is a pyramid-shaped building, the highest is a round pagoda painted with gold, built on two hollow platforms. According to religious consciousness, this means that the Buddha in heaven and the people on the earth are in touch. Around 48 pagodas of different sizes, stars holding the moon, surrounded by the central pagoda. The four-faced Buddha on each pagoda has a thick nose and thick lips, soft eyes, and a smile on his face, known as the "Khmer smile."

    A great semi-run down, but very important temple right in the middle of Angkor. A must visit if you head to Siem Reap. Watch out for the naughty monkeys.
