Prasat Kravan ប្រាសាទក្រវ៉ាន់
This temple site consists of a series of 5 brick towers placed on a common, brick platform. The towers are open to the east and is aligned north to the south.
A second terrace is situated to the east which probably housed a now lost entrance pavilion, while a 130 squesr meter moat can still be seen although any possible enclosure wall is now missing.
The towers themselves are truncated, with upper sections missing except for the relatively intact central one. This temple's most famous feature is several large and well preserved brick reliefs of Vishnu. They are found in the central tower. Similar, equally spectacular reliefs, featuring Vishnu's consort Lakshmi, are to be found in the north tower.

The Trans-Siberian Railway is the world’s longest single continuous rail line, spanning about 9,289 kilometers from Moscow to Vladivostok across eight time zones, vast taiga forests, steppe, mountains, and 16 major rivers.
Construction began in 1891 under Tsar Alexander III, with Tsarevich Nicholas II laying the first stone in Vladivostok. The project aimed to unite the Russian Empire, boost trade with Asia, and develop Siberia’s resources.

It later supported Soviet industrialization, World War II logistics, and remains a key passenger and freight corridor operated by Russian Railways.
The premier service is the Rossiya train number 001/002, a comfortable firmeny train with renovated carriages featuring air conditioning, power outlets, USB ports, and showers in some cars. It offers first-class (two-berth), second-class kupe (four-berth), and...
