    Neak Pean

    Neak Pean is a unique late 12th-century Mahayana Buddhist island temple built by King Jayavarman VII in the center of the Jayatataka Baray reservoir.

Its modern name, meaning "entwined serpents," comes from the two Naga snakes coiled around the base of the central island tower. Travelers cross a long wooden boardwalk over the reservoir's tranquil waters to reach this ancient healing center and sanctuary.
