Angor Wat, Cambodia 

A highlight of a week K and I spent in Cambodia several years ago, Angor Wat is a breathtaking complex of temples built during the 12th century to honor the Hindu god Vishnu. Later, it became a Buddhist site. As a result, it offers art and relics of both religions in plenty throughout the complex.

What I liked about it:

* It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

* You can get lost in the labyrinth of its rooms.

* It’s a place for contemplation and quiet thinking.
