Located on a hilltop with splendid views, Phanom Rung is an impressive Khmer temple dating from the early part of the Angkor Wat period, adorned with superb stone carvings. The temple comples, recently restored by the Fine Arts Department, is the centrepiece of this fair, which also features various exhibits.

Prasat Phnom Rung stands impressively at the top of an extinct volcano, Phu Phnom Rung. Its construction on a high place carries on the customary practice based on a local belief which worshipped the supernatural powers of the sacred mountains.

Prasat Phnom Rung was built around the 16th-17th centuries B.E. The approach to the main tower is from the east. The plan was systematically laid out, with the doorways of the galleries directly in front of the porticos of the prasat on all four sides.
