Photos of the Week: Three Breathtaking Spectacles in Siem Reap in March
AKP Siem Reap, March 27, 2026 —







In March 2026, three remarkable equinox phenomena are observed at key locations within the Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap province: (1) sunrise aligned with the central tower of Angkor Wat Temple, (2) sunset aligned with the peak of Takav gate, and (3) sunset aligned with the peak of Bakong Temple.
These breathtaking spectacles are not coincidental, but rather reflect the advanced knowledge and precision of Khmer ancestors, demonstrating their ability to integrate astronomical science seamlessly with architectural design.
