Towering Over the World's Largest Temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia
The problem with seeing the largest temple in the world is that you can’t see everything. Exploring the vast grounds of Angkor Wat, you wish you were a giant, a god, or a bird and could view it from above to fully appreciate its symmetry and structure. In a small garden about 8 kilometers south of the temple, this is possible. Master sculptor Dy Preung has made a miniature replica of Angkor Wat on display in his yard/workshop in Siem Reap. This friendly craftsman invites you to step into the reproduction and cast your shadow over the impressive structure. After your Goliath curiosity is satisfied, the main attraction here is the charming creator himself. Take him up on an offer to meet his “neighbors” and you’re in for a pleasantly thrilling surprise…
