 UNESCO LIST KOH KER TEMPLE REGION AS WORLD HERITAGE IN PREAH VIHEAR PROVINCE,KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 🇰🇭

The ancient temple region of Koh Ker has become Cambodia’s fourth historical and cultural tourism destination to be listed as UNESCO's World Heritage on September 17 -2023 during the 45th session of the World Heritage Committee in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Koh Ker Temple  is a remote archaeological site in northern Cambodia about 120 Km  away from Siem Reap.The site is about Two and Half Hours away from Siem Reap. Koh Ker was once an ancient capital of Cambodia, built by two Khmer kings King Jayarvaraman IV and Harshavaraman II between (928–944 AD).

The temple is 35 meters high, and its design resembles a seven-stepped stupa. 

The temple faces west toward Angkor city. It was built in reverence to Treypuvanesvara (a Hindu god of happiness). All together 96 temples have been found in the Koh Ker Complex, but many of them are no longer standing and some are buried in the ground.

The monument itself (namely the Prasat Thom Pyramid).Since 1992 the site of Koh Ker is on the UNESCO tentative world heritage list.

 BEAUTIFUL CHURNING OF THE OCEAN OF MILK HEAVEN (APSARA DANCE),KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 🐉🇰🇭

The Apsara dance is a traditional dance of the Kingdom of Cambodia that dates back to the 6th century according to some of the carvings found at the Sambor Prei Kuk temples (Cambodia’s Kompong Thom province) which immortalised Apsaras dancing on the stone. Apsaras’ dance is an essential part of the Khmer culture which finds its roots in both Hindu and Buddhist mythologies.

According to the Hindu mythology, Apsaras were beautiful female creatures that descended from heaven to entertain Gods and Kings with their dance. Legend has it that they were born from the Churning of the Ocean of Milk and thus, are messengers of peace between Kings on earth and Gods in heaven. It is also said that Apsaras were the wives of Gandharvas who were servants at the palace of Indra, the King of Gods. As willing servants of Indra, the ethereal nymphs seduced mortals with their beauty if those threatened the power of the King of Gods. The power of Apsaras over men was beyond comparison as both mortals and divinities could not resist the charms of the “celestial dancers” – which is the meaning of “Apsaras” in ancient Sanskrit.

According to scholars, the Apsara dance already existed in the 6th-7th centuries. Hundreds of Apsaras are depicted on the stone carved walls of the Angkor site, especially in Angkor Wat and the ancient city of Angkor Thom. The most famous Khmer King of the Angkorian period, Javayarman VII (12th century), was said to have over three thousands of Apsara dancers in his court.

This traditional dance is meaningful in many ways as it constitutes a link between the different religions on which Cambodia had been built upon (Animism, Hinduism, and Buddhism). Indeed, every single movement of the fingers has a particular meaning. It can worship the spirits of nature by depicting a blossoming flower or refer to one of the hundreds legends of Hinduism.

Moreover, Apsara’s movements have many significant values, since this traditional Khmer ballet is a connection between the different religions in Cambodia. In total, there are over 4500 gestures in this dance, hands to legs and through the body. This reminds us of an extremely subtle and stylised form of art developed in Cambodia. These movements are so complex that girls start training from childhood to gain the necessary flexibility in hand and feet gestures. In this way, they can subsequently make the enormous and complex movements that give the impression that dancers float in the clouds.

Apsara dancers are always well-dressed with traditional costumes that can also be seen on the Angkor temples’ walls. They wear elegant silk clothing with floral motifs, magnificent headdresses and jewelries.

In 2003, the UNESCO recognised the Apsara dance as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. It is the very first time that a cultural element of Cambodia appears on this list. Hopefully, this world recognition is the first in a long series to come!

 BEAUTIFUL SIEM REAP PROVINCE AT NIGHT,KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA 🇰🇭

Siem Reap Province is basically the cradle of Angkorean civilization and it is a province that offers plenty of opportunity to tourists enthralled by the Khmer culture.

The ruins of Angkor, located amid forests and Farland, are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.There are over one thousand temples ranging in scale from nondescript piles of brick rubble scattered through rice fields to the magnificent Angkor Wat which is said to be the world’s largest single religious monument. There are dozens of temple ruins in the Siem Reap area and it depends largely on how much time one has and one’s level of interest to determine how long one should spend to explore them.

This province is accessible on direct flights from many major cities in the region including Bangkok, Danang, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Paksé, Vientiane, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kunming, Taipei, Manila, etc. From the capital of Phnom Penh, the Cambodia National Airline operates direct flights daily to and from Siem Reap.

Siem Reap Province can also be reached by speedboats along the Tonlé Sap from Phnom Penh and Battambang Province.

The Siem Reap Province is conveniently situated 314 km northwest of Phnom Penh, along National Road No 6. It can be reached all year round by National Road No 6 from Phnom Penh, Poipèt Border Checkpoint, Banteay Meanchey Province, Kampong Cham Province, and Kampong Thom Province; and by National Road No 5 and 6 from Kampong Chhnang Province, Pursat Province, and Battambang Province.

This is a vibrant city with many modern hotels and old colonial buildings boasting awesome architecture. Much of the town’s image, culture, and traditions are conserved despite the influx of tourists from all over the world.

There are restaurants of almost every culture and also bars and café of nearly every fashion and size all about town. The Psar Leu area is where one can find great bargains in jewelry and handicraft from precious stones to wonderful woodcarvings. There are also many shops offering traditional massage and reflexology to help relieve those tired feet after a day’s tour of the temples
