Description: |
|
Bucolic Wat Phu sits in graceful decrepitude, and while it lacks
the arresting enormity of Angkor in Cambodia, given its few
visitors and more dramatic natural setting, these small Khmer
ruins evoke a more soulful response. While some buildings are
more than 1000 years old, most date from the 11th to 13th
centuries. The site is divided into six terraces on three levels
joined by a frangipani-bordered stairway ascending the mountain
to the main shrine at the top. |
