📍Cambodia. Preah Khan Temple | Khmer memories hidden in the shadows of the trees

Traveling can sometimes feel like searching for fragments of one's soul amidst ruins.
At Preah Khan Temple, I found a moment where time stood still.

This ancient temple, located in the northeast corner of Angkor Thom, was built by King Jayavarman VII in memory of his father.

Unlike the ornate beauty of Bayon Temple or the grandeur of Ta Prohm Temple, Preah Khan Temple exudes a quiet, healing aura.

Passing through the mottled stone gate, greenery spreads across the columns and walls,
feeling like stepping into a dream woven together with nature.

Tree roots entwine the building, as if protecting it, yet also embracing the past.

Walking through the winding corridors, every corner holds the whispers of an ancient civilization,
reminding us:
Forgetting and remembering are both gentle arrangements of time.

Here is the perfect place on your journey to pause and find peace.

You don't need to speak; simply listen to the stories told by the stones and the wind.
