When is the Best Time to Watch Sunrise on Equinox Day?
From this 2021 experience of the Equinox close observer, the best time and day to watch Sunrise over the central tower of Angkor Wat temple is 22 March and 23 March for Spring Equinox. I believe, for Autumn Equinox of the Northern Hemisphere should not be different. Therefore you can reserve these two dates to spend you time at Angkor Wat to watch the amazingly spectacular Sunrise and temple of Angkor Wat.
