Introduction to the Moat of Cambodia
The moat is not the name of the country or city of Cambodia, but refers to the ring of water around the famous Cambodian monument Angkor Wat. It is located in Siem Reap province and is an important part of the Angkor Wat complex, built in the 12th century during the Khmer Empire. The moat, which is about 1.5 kilometers long and 200 meters wide, is of defensive, hydraulic and religious symbolic significance, representing the ocean encircling the sacred mountain in Hindu mythology. Today, it is an iconic feature of Angkor Wat, attracting visitors from around the globe and is listed as a World Heritage Site.
Historical and Cultural Significance
The moat is one of the masterpieces of Angkor Wat architecture, reflecting the engineering wisdom of the Khmer people. It not only prevents flooding and stores water to support agriculture, but also symbolizes the cosmic concept in Buddhism and Hinduism. The sight of the river reflecting the temples has become a hot spot for photography, reflecting the prosperity of Cambodia's ancient civilization.
Tourism and Conservation Status
As the core attraction of Siem Reap tourism, the moat is surrounded by excellent facilities and can be viewed by tourists on boat trips or on foot. The Cambodian government and international organizations continue to work to protect this historic site in response to natural erosion and tourism pressures and to ensure that its cultural values are perpetuated.
