UNESCO says the site is spread around 155 square miles and contains the ruins of the Khmer capital from the 9th to 15th centuries, one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia.

Cambodia has been actively developing the region to attract more tourists, including opening a new $1.1 billion Chinese-funded airport in nearby Siem Reap.
