| Pre Rup Temple of Cambodia. 🔥【The Crimson Temple in Twilight】Exploring Pre Rup Temple – Angkor's Classic Sunset Spot 🌇 📍 Towering Views | Red Brick Silhouettes | An Underrated Hidden Gem **Play at:** Pre Rup Temple **Stay at:** M Residence Infinity Pool Apartment in Phnom Penh 🧭 **Attraction Introduction** Pre Rup Temple is a 10th-century Hindu temple built by King Rajendravarman. While less famous than Angkor Wat, its grand red-brick structure, sacred aura, and panoramic views from the top make it an unmissable "underrated treasure." The name "Pre Rup" means "turn the body" in Khmer, as it was once a royal cremation site. Today, this ancient temple offers a serene setting to admire Angkor’s sunsets. 🌿 **Top 3 Reasons to Visit** 🧱 **Flaming Red-Brick Temple** – The warm hues of the bricks glow like fire at dawn and dusk, creating a mesmerizing sight. ⛰ **Stunning Elevated Views** – Climb to the top for sweeping vistas of Phnom Bok and Phnom Kulen to the east, and Angkor Wat’s towers to the west. 📸 **Architectural Details** – With six entrance towers, five main towers, and twelve small shrines, its layered layout and intricate carvings are a photographer’s dream. 🛏 **Stay Recommendation** After exploring Siem Reap’s ruins, unwind at M Residence in Phnom Penh. Featuring an infinity pool, Infinity Sky Bar, and gym, it’s the perfect place to recharge. A seamless blend of modern comfort and ancient adventure awaits. 📸 **Photo Tips** 🌇 Visit during the "golden hours" (early morning or after 4 PM) for soft light and fewer crowds. 👗 Light-colored outfits stand out beautifully against the red bricks. 🪜 The top platform is small—avoid peak times for the best experience. 👜 **Travel Tips** 🚗 Pair your visit with East Mebon Temple and Srah Srang for a full-day itinerary. ⏳ Allocate 30–60 minutes to fully appreciate the architecture and views. 🎫 Bring your Angkor Archaeological Park ticket for entry. 💬 **Final Thoughts** Pre Rup may not be the grandest temple, but its tranquil sunset atmosphere and timeless beauty are unforgettable. After your journey, retreat to M Residence in Phnom Penh—where modern luxury meets ancient wonder—for the ultimate healing getaway.
