"Sharrie's Angkor Wat Sunrise" Angkor Wat by Sharrie

Angkor Wat Travel Guide: 1,640 reviews and 4,723 photos

The most frequently topic discussed while in Angkor Wat was what are the 7 wonders of the world & where are they located.

Here's my list (as far as I can remembered), not according to the encyclopedia nor that of the recognised 7 wonders of ancient world; but those that I learned when I was young. Not sure who told me or how the list was complied either. I don't particularly care but I remembered the fascination I had with them, ie. I must see them all!

Here's the list:
1. Great Wall of China - China.
2. Pyramid of Giza - Egypt.
3. Borobudur - Indonesia.
4. Taj Mahal - India.
5. Leaning Tower of Piza - Italy.
6. Eiffel Tower - France.
7. Angkor Wat - Cambodia.

Ok, so here I came... to Angkor Wat!

ANGKOR WAT - the largest Hindu temple in the world! The main attraction for visiting Cambodia. Here is my first sunrise; well, at least where I successfully witnessed one. What can I say about Angkor Wat itself other than its beautiful landscape & reflection? The most gorgeous sunrise & the climb to the top of the temple where most will never ever forget it, especially if you are afraid of heights! For me, that's where the excitement began ;-)))

Last visit to Angkor Wat: Dec 2002

You have many amazing sunrise pictures at Angkor Wat. What is it about such places that makes us look internally and think about the meaning of life?
