Top 17 in Can't Miss Attractions

The zodiac signs here are slightly different from our mainland. For example, the rabbit in front of my dragon does not have one, but there is an extra cat.

The Zodiac Tower was originally used for judgment and determination, and it also has a strong superstition color. No wonder the tower is abstract and intangible, and it is impossible to see which one is a dragon and which one is a snake. Looking at the towers again, facing the ruins of the Supreme Court, standing tall, one can imagine that the Khmer also had the rule of law.

十二生肖塔是吴哥窟的一个不太热门的景点，但是因为占地面积比较大，所以很难被忽视，不过十二个塔隔得很远，没有力气去一一辨认了。

离开巴戎寺，来到不远处的路旁停车，12生肖塔、古代法院、斗象台、空中宫殿和巴本宫，分别坐落在公路两侧。那里有十二座独立的碉楼般的石头建筑，据说与中国的十二生肖相似。这些建筑都很高大，其内部是用较轻的火石山堆砌，外面用砂石堆砌并在上面进行雕塑，大部分已经脱落，从残存的部分来看雕刻较少且简单粗糙。

时代久远的关系，已经看不出每一个㙮所代表的生肖，反正就是古时候把犯人锁在塔内，三天后仍然能够存活的就当无罪，奇怪的方法。我发现十二生肖像相当迷人，绕着它们走着，后面的湖边可以野餐。它们可能不如其他综合体那样的宏伟，位于大吴哥马路的另一边。它们几乎被忽视了，但我喜欢十二生肖像的景观和对称性。
