Answer:
Cambodia
Notes: Visitors are imitating the Temple Run game at Cambodia's Angkor Wat, raising concerns about damage to the 900-year-old site. Angkor Wat is the world's largest religious monument, covering 200 acres. It was built in the 12th century by Khmer King Suryavarman II. It was originally a Hindu temple for Vishnu, later becoming Buddhist. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992. The temple features intricate carvings, five towers symbolising Mount Meru, and thousands of bas-reliefs. It is located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It was part of the Khmer Empire's capital, Angkor, which thrived from the 9th to 15th centuries.
