- Banteay Chhmar - Banteay Chhmar was one of the largest architectural projects undertaken by Jayavarman VII in a politically sensitive area during the final years of his reign. The architecture shows signs of being hastily constructed, similar to his other temples, and it seems to have been left incomplete. There are clear indications that new architectural styles were still being developed at the site during its construction. The iconography reflects both Buddhist and Hindu beliefs, as well as the king’s supremacy, themes also present in his other temples. However, the depictions of individual deities and their arrangements are often unique to Banteay Chhmar.
- Banteay Toap Temple - Banteay Toap Temple is a captivating and intriguing temple site. The name is believed to mean ‘Fortress of the Army’ and it was constructed during the same period as the Banteay Chhmar temple complex. It is thought to have been built as a tribute to the Khmer army for their victory over the Cham army, leading to Khmer control of the region.
- Angkor Silk Farm - Visitors can observe all stages of the silk production process here, from the cultivation of mulberry trees to the nurturing of silkworms, and the dyeing and weaving of silk.
- West Baray - A massive reservoir built during the Khmer Empire, measuring 8km long by 2.1km wide. Its original purpose remains unclear, and the initial theory that it was used for irrigation is now largely discounted.
- Svay Romiet Pagoda - The Svay Romiet Pagoda is situated directly on the banks of the West Baray. People visit the pagoda on their ancestors’ anniversaries or birthdays. This is a way to show high respect even on days that are not part of the Pchum Ben festival. The festival educates younger generations on how to show respect to their relatives.
