Phnom Bakeng is a small temple located at a top of a hill. The height of the hill is about 60m, and the height of the temple is 47m. You can see a good view from the top of the temple. You can see the tower of Angkor Wat in a direction of southeast, I didn’t aware of it. The stairway to the temple is 70 degrees and I was scared of it.

An approach to the temple was closed

A step to approach the temple was closed. You can find many pictures of people going through this approach. I can guess if many tourists go up on this approach, then the steps crumble easily.

I make a panorama from pictures taken at the hill

Many tourists come to see a sunset. I went there in the evening, but I couldn’t see a sunset because of the many clouds. The time of sunset in March is around 18:30, and the tourists have to leave there by 18:00.
