Prasat Angkor Wat Bannalai Khang Cheung (ប្រាសាទអង្គរវត្ត បណ្ណាល័យខាងជើង - Pronounced: Pra-saht Ong-kor Waht Bahn-na-lai Karhng Jerng)
The north 'library' sits 15m north of the causeway leading into Prasat Angkor Wat. It measures approximate 42m from east to west and 25m from north to south at its widest. The structure lacks Apsara figures, though it does have some remnants of some carved pediment reliefs and decorative carvings all around.
This location is now a popular alternative spot for the famous Angkor Wat sunrise, as the northern pond gets way too crowded.
