Book Description

The Chinese envoy, Zhou Daguan, who visited Angkor in 1296-7, was the only person to have given a first-hand account of the civilization of Angkor. Zhou's description of the royal palace, sacred buildings, and everyday life remains a unique protrait of thirteenth-century Angkor at a time when its splendors were still intact.
