Yes, the real wax country is Cambodia today. As early as the 7th century AD, the Kingdom of Zhenla had its own characters. After the establishment of Angkor Dynasty in 802 AD, it entered the golden age and reached its peak in 1 1 and 12 centuries, and its symbol was Angkor City.

Angkor monuments are rare in the world, with more than 600 monuments in an area of more than 400 square kilometers. Incredibly, Angkor Wat, as a national treasure of Cambodia, has disappeared from Cambodia's own historical documents for more than 400 years. What is this?
Angkor is located in Siem Reap province in northern Cambodia, about 300 kilometers away from the capital Phnom Penh. It was founded in 802 and completed in 120 1. As the administrative center and religious center of the real wax country, the atmosphere of the whole city is magnificent. The Angkor Wat we see today is divided into the Big Angkor Wat and the Small Angkor Wat in the broad and narrow sense. The Great Angkor Wat refers to more than 600 sites including capitals, palaces and temples, while the Small Angkor Wat mainly refers to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat has ancient palaces, the Zodiac Pagoda, the Palace in the sky, and the Elephant Fighting Platform. The ancient trees and temples in Tabulong Temple have wonderful scenery. The intricate and exquisite carvings of Ban Diez Lei are breathtaking, and the smiling faces of Khmer people in bayon temple are impressive. Angkor is a fusion of many civilizations. Initially, it was built in the style of Hinduism, offering worship to the gods Shiva and Vishnu. In the second half of the12nd century, the king at that time began to believe in Mahayana Buddhism, so the people followed suit and offered sacrifices to avalokitesvara, and Buddhist temples were built one after another. Later, the original Hinduism overshadowed Buddhism, and many Buddhist temples changed back to the style of Hindu temples during the construction process.

Unfortunately, Angkor Wat suffered two large-scale damages. The first time was in the middle of12nd century. After the death of Jaya Varman VII, the Angkor Dynasty declined slightly, and people did not gather together. City occupiers invaded Angkor in south-central Vietnam today, and Angkor was looted. ?
The second time was in 143 1 year, when Siamese invaded and captured Angkor, which was severely damaged. Because the local people think that God lives in stone and man lives in wood. Therefore, the stone used in the temple was preserved, although the temple was destroyed by the war. However, palaces decorated mainly with wood, brick and gold, and a large number of houses decorated mainly with brick, wood and grass were burned to ashes.
