5. The town of Siem Reap is not simply a place for the people visiting Angkor to seek hospitality.The town’s URBAN HERITAGE is abundant in terms of architecture (traditional market; colonial architecture; wooden houses; historical pagodas), landscape (the countryside adjoins the town’s boundaries; the river banks) and nature (canal areas). More focus is recommended on the town and on the protection and development of its heritage.
