Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites Worth a Visit

Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Khmer Empire. Actually, calling it a temple would not be accurate, as it’s actually a temple complex. Architecturally speaking, this place is jaw-droppingly special, and when you take into account the lush jungles surrounding it becomes even more so. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the largest religious monument in the whole world. The Khmer civilization who built the place also designed a sophisticated hydraulic system and intricate carvings of Hindu epics that would appeal to fans of art and engineering. If you can, try to time your arrival at the place so you can see the sunrise over the ancient structures, illuminating everything in warm colors.
