The architectural style closely resembles that of India at the same period, but Hindu gods are often joined, or even replaced, by figures of Buddha. Angkor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This picture: a peaceful wooded scene, with traditional boats on the moat of Angkor Thom, one of the largest cities built by the Khmer.
