Angkor
Angkor
The ancient city of Angkor Wat retains its spiritual significance for Cambodians today.
Photograph by David Alan Harvey

Angkor is utterly transforming. The jungle and the ruins intertwine in beautiful and mysterious harmony. Sunset from the top of Angkor Wat has to be one of the most extraordinary experiences any traveler could possibly have.—Earl A. Powell III, Director, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.

Explore Angkor with architect and author Richard Saul Wurman in the October 1999 issue of TRAVELER.
