The Amazing Preah Pithu Temples Siem Reap Cambodia

We had a fabulous visit to the Preah Pithu group of Temples in the Angkor Thom Complex at the UNESCO Angkor Wat area just a Tuk Tuk ride away outside of Siem Reap Cambodia.

The Preah Pithu group of Temples were built in the 12th century and are located in the Angkor Thom Complex. Preah Pithu is a group of 5 temples in various levels of restoration. These temples were previously identified by Letters (T, U, V, W and X). Duan Mae Temple, Chorm Temple, Kor Sak Temple, Kandork Yeak Temple and the largest Ta Tuot temple.

2010 Great Wall of China Mutianyu Section

Great Wall of China Mutianyu section…is a more out of the way section of the great wall…about 45 miles outside of Beijing and up in the mountains. We went to this section because it is less touristy and busy….but of course that means much more walking and climbing and general exercise. It is not a horrible climb it is just well….. long and full of stairs and more stairs and did I mention stairs and yes we went the entire way.
