Phnom Penh to Siem Reap the way often can see temples.

Buddhist nation, Buddha everywhere.

Cambodia is the line's most read most shocking most worth a go.

Today is the most difficult of a travel day, hot weather, temperature up to 40 degrees from Saigon to Siem Reap their way all day.

Because the Cambodian new year, most of the hotels are closed, the afternoon just managed to find a hotel in Phnom Penh simple fill belly. It is said that this hotel has received our national leaders. While the chef cooking space, I walked into the kitchen and take a look at finding a hotel Novara was no refrigerator. Such a high temperature, they use several large plastic bucket placed on ice cubes to store meat, vegetables and other foods. May be because of electricity expensive Cambodia Cafe, later a similar situation often seen.

Our 3 p.m. dinner in the hotel's backyard.

Angkor monuments located in Siem Reap province, about 240 km from Phnom Penh, the capital, not speed, we'll have nearly five hours.

Fortunately, a road car, we have not met the traffic jam, speed or slow, local drivers have long been used in this way was understood. Some places look really hanging, is too messy, in front of the foot brake, but the driver only on the Horn, without slowing down, rub the motorcycle and pedestrian side flashed. Along the way, Vista is good, no pollution, the sky is blue, clouds are white, tree is the green side of one small, very simple hut, thatched cottage looks quiet, small and peaceful.

Introduction to the way Kobayashi 30 years ago is very rich in Cambodia, Singapore people on here to go to school, so basically you can communicate in English, as a result of wars fought for 30 years, said to the Cambodian economy is now equivalent to 20 years ago in Beijing, is the war provoked a curse.

It is said that wave but not in time, the country three years kill 3 million people, the Phnom Penh is a empty city, was a nightmare, I heard that he is a supporter of here between the Communist regime, the original Chinese red guards do not dare to do both here.

My mind, Cambodia is mysterious, because Sihanouk, because more because of the Khmer Rouge, Angkor Wat.

Or read in elementary school, I knew the name of Cambodia's country, the name of Prince Sihanouk. Prince Sihanouk as long as they heard the news, visit to the Chinese people chatting is said "the eat a sponge-here we go again." The Khmer Rouge, a Chinese are not big love to the topic, it's there, it's gone, it's good, everything seems to be a sensitive topic and cryptic, but in my heart has been a clear desire for that period of history, although they also know that in fact the truth doesn't matter to me. As regards the reasons for it and Angkor Wat, the great wall of China, Egypt Pyramids and the Borobudur in Indonesia and East four miracles, constantly in mind, expecting one day to visit pilgrimage, see "days Yen".

Cambodian new year falls on, every household in a festive.

Cambodia from 93 years began peace, reconstruction of the country, is also very poor basic dependent on imports of consumer goods.

At the petrol station shop shop, a bottle of mineral water has to be converted into RMB 5 Yuan. As a result of Cambodia (Viet Nam also so) implementation of the price system is similar to China's reform and opening up the initial two-track system, foreigners can not enjoy national treatment. The same thing, the price of foreigners is much higher.

There are a few households have TV 's.

On the way after dark rarely saw little lit lights.

Along the way, the road on both sides of the tracts of farmland in the wild, no life.

And the same latitude, with plain, belong to the formation of neighbouring Viet Nam agricultural country with great contrast.

In the evening, we went to Siem Reap.

In the 9th century a.d. to the 15 century, Angkor was the King of Cambodia, the sum up to hundreds of thousands of people.

In Siem Reap in two nights in the hotel.

There will of course be considered rich, like domestic those white skin, big nose, access to upscale hotels, are the swimming pool of Gee, if every night swimming, then sleep can be perfumed, where tourism is not tired, just the weather is too hot.

See the gate of Angkor, Angkor, South Gate Bridge on both sides of the gods was that many are already being the first differences, are seeing some repair.

Angkor was founded in the year 802 years, completed in 1201, which lasted for around 400 years.

The Khmer Empire finally a capital city, mainly for the Festival. It's the Central temple that is ' BA Rong Temple ' 54 block size pagoda, Angkor only five, of course, it's more than spectacular Angkor. In the middle of a huge pagoda around 43 meters, 25 meters in diameter, the top of each tower are carved symbol King Buddha, respective to the Quartet, and has taken the Khmer-smile, it symbolizes the reign supreme and Buddhist sacred.

Angkor monuments existing more than 600 offices in the area of 45 square kilometres of forest, we only look at five or six, really sorry, I should then go several temple.

Angkor and Angkor is a major component of it, many wonderful stupa and numerous stone relief, awe-inspiring. These stupa all huge stone base lining, some stones up to 8 tons. Stupa carved statue of various forms, and some up to tens of meters, vivid and lifelike.

The South Gate of Angkor Buddha

BA Rong Temple entrance, morning light, many Buddha face overlapping up

Entering the South Gate is not far away is located in King City Central RS Rong Temple, two-storey base internal and external sides surrounded by a cloister, mural painting in relief are intricate and ambitious war scenes to attract

All visitors have just to be here. Base is a maze of shrines and high heights for dozens of dwarf pagoda, each tower body is carved statues of Buddha, then all four sides are called Khmer smile face is so subtle and mysterious, in his guide only kept walking, watching. To discover, to learn, to feel. Board took office, walk through the varied decrepit Tallinn, each random looked, and your eyes relative is the mysterious Khmer smile. 54 seats a total of Simian stupa 216 smiling face, these seemingly identical half narrow eyes smiling mouth upwards, examined but subtly different. Bathed in the warm sun, each a smiling face in the world, people caught up in the meantime reverie. Be able to sit in the corner of the eyes and minds of Tallinn, listening to the occasional rustle footsteps asymptotic distance, feel that solidification time is really a great enjoyment of life.

BA Rong Temple sculpture Gallery, record at that time of the Qing dynasty court life

BA Rong Temple – Khmer smile, Khmer smile stone carving is a flag of Cambodia

Angkor Temple bucket like Taiwan, where the bucket is better elephant to become King of the mount

From BA Rong Temple temple to Tabb Lombard a soil road, well, I saw several people sit on Cambodia, played on traditional instruments, the sound of music people calm heart impetuous, approaching the point of view, only to find they are persons with disabilities.

Their eyes expressionless, empty, only a very heavy losses after a loss, they are the victims of war, landmines, and I'm glad to live in an era of peace.

Millennium entanglement, and tree winding with Tabb Lombard Temple

Tabb Lombard Temple is a magical place, the whole temple is surrounded by huge trees and defend.

Its roots lay flat stretch in all directions, the task of the developed root of Robusta, Monty Python, around the temple and the temple wall, like a dragon claw-like close by in the various types of temple Tower and promenade, branch, sunlight can only dispenses hard penetration, some even sealed the doors and Windows, a temple called oil light trees even saddle in walls, broke out or penetrate the building, I want to be at the top of the temples of masonry is collapsed, the formation of a number of ruins.

This temple is surrounded by trees, the whole wall, pagoda in large trees in mega package long beard, to restoration work brought unexpected challenges.

Therefore the Temple became the Angkor in the saved pristine best place to see was later moved vestiges of laundered. A cloister with a lot of square empty room, huge stones layer stuffing all the way to the Center, where more than ten metres high debt to dew on the roof of a sunroof. Stuck to the walls of the concave in the chest, you can hear the tap holes like tong tong. The visitors were all in the past, beating his chest as this echoes excited.

Python-like unto the temple wall of roots.

Because of Angkor stone building were piling up, no use of any architectural coatings, therefore, those stubborn growth of trees is very easy to damage, especially through 800 years of ups and downs, those who still retained trees, many of the top long in the building, and roots to penetrate the building of the slit, forming a tree of Angkor temple-one of the buildings.

Most of the Angkor monuments were discovered after gradually repair and Tower Suprun Temple is deliberately kept its coexistence with nature.

This is what I want to see it, fix a new things, often to not find the feeling, only a good place to retain traces of history in order to clearly demonstrate to you, what ever happened here.

Cobra is the Totem

Angkor landmark attractions

Angkor monuments in the most famous is the Angkor Wat.

The pattern on the flag of Cambodia, Angkor is taken full face, five top. Due to the area of the city than Angkor (Angkor) is much smaller, so we call it the Angkor.

Than xianhua please pool also large Royal Bath

Beautiful stone guardrail carving

Angkor five top in one of the

Here a joke.

Well, we arrived at Siem Reap in the next morning to go on tour Angkor, 小宋 said to me, "Zhang, we at night to" red light district "a walk to", I said "Yes", in front of the old pipes are also willing to go along with them, said: good to go on foot. Night on the way back to Siem Reap, I am in the car in and consult with 2 Guide, they drive our whole car to "red zone" along the road and see, governorate US 3 people walking to, neither safe and peas. Kind of tour guides and drivers meet our adventures. I believe that the alien tourism understand point exotic country is also part of the tourism, like the brothel establishments such as it is a special kind of culture, since it can exist of course has its reasonableness, in addition you can let everyone long exposure. At night, our car in a very humble brothels in front meets Kobayashi leads us into the room, a man of brothels and Kobayashi play Hello, seven eight-bit prostitutes walked out from the inner room, turn on the bench is a font and sit and wait for the customers of the "meeting", about 30 sq.m room immediately by our teenagers, who sit in full. I look at the woman's face, thick with white towel, feel the thick powder will fall off the face of white, is what I have seen most white women in Cambodia. Of course, all of the women's wear are all "fewer but better". I'm from their facial expressions to see they are wondering: "How come so many woman?" at this point I and the old pipes and others also aside kept giggling, I also make old tube said: "what a piece of meat:, don't hesitate," which also is a hysterical laughter. At this time, Wang Ping quietly said to me, "Zhang, boss before and after the doors were shut," a small Shaw also echo repeat these words, the expression face fear, implying the boss is correct, we have forced consumption,? see the moment they feel tense and fearful. To be honest, IAlso did not expect Kobayashi will take us to the brothels in to see the "face" of prostitutes. I can only be comforted her and said: "never mind, we are the official tourist guide, tourist guide of the things not stakeholders." Sure enough, we had 10 minutes to the "security" on the left. A false alarm. Frightened, on the way back to the hotel, and then told me head here and he very well, only our accident "tourism" and "harvest". He said that Siem Reap has many karaoke and many non-open "brothel" Basic will provide "special services", Siem Reap has Street is very famous "red-light district", there are a lot of Viet Nam and Cambodia MM.

Leaving tomorrow to Angkor, I cannot help but "complain" travel itinerary too tight--we just finished a small part of the walk.

The Angkor is necessarily require you to take your time to taste its vicissitudes, for making a visitor leave your, Angkor is a strong early return to Siem Reap, Angkor private again and the strong impulse to talk to. Finally understand why so many backpackers defy mosquito beast, but also to stay in Angkor waiting in the rain forest of the second day of the feast. In order to Angkor shock beauty, all pay was no longer important.

It is a new day, we will take the shock of Angkor and Siem Reap and moved back to bid farewell to Phnom Penh.

Cambodia about 1200 million people nationwide, Phnom Penh, Phnom Penh 120 or so a total of 40 square kilometers, it is not large, it is said that 50 per cent of the population are Chinese, HA HA, it is my Chinese all over the world, the street where Chinese shops is Chinese, I probably looked really many, a little-scale are Chinese, it seems that this is a Chinese economically strong country, a preliminary look at Phnom Penh is small, the street was very dirty, quite big and, Yes, all the Cambodian public transportation and leasing basically, we all rely on a motorcycle than a car, motorcycle, but that guy, very few accidents occur, I saw a two motorized 5 on the shuttle.

Cambodia currency is real, I like this name, more like the exchange rate, 1 dollar 900 or so real, around 100 RMB 43000, China real money here really is money, but General shops don't.

Before listening to Cambodia consumption not low, I'm not in Cambodia consumption so known.

Royal Palace of Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh Royal Palace and the famous Royal Palace without Bangkok, main entrance lock, two armed guards.

Visitors ' entrance is the distance a 1 meter wide side, almost no marks. This low profile, making it more like a real Palace, instead of tourist attractions. Gently through the long and narrow corridors, just a garden corner, I saw the Palace square wide expanses, spotlessly clean, the palace garden purposely building, everything seems to be several hundred years ago, because of the lack of a bustling tourist, therefore particularly shocking. Strolling, laments the luxury: Phnom Penh Royal Palace ceremony Golden, collection of art of the French second-story building, decoration and luxury Theatre, as well as complete with 1 kg of silver bricks Hall ground silver Temple, you can imagine how those of Cambodia.

Prince Sihanouk as its child baptism Prince Sihamoni

Now the King of Cambodia is the son of Sihanouk Sihamoni.

53 years old this year, also not married, yet the Queen of Cambodia, it's a golden Bachelor. However, today in charge of the regime, which is a real power is the Prime Minister Hun Sen. -Cambodia bilateral relations have also been very good.

From the Royal Palace, went to tart mountain.

A very small hills. Phnom Penh is located in the plain, tart mountain is the highest point of the city, but even at the top of the Hill is also unable to enjoy the city, as a result, it is not high, surrounded by shady trees. The entire Park is only a small Habitat, a pagoda on the small Habitat. Mountain high, Tower is spirit, and people attracted to, tashan or incense. A positive value for the new year, jumble, adults and children, men and women, old and rare, singing and dancing, happy jump. But in the incense of tart mountain below there are still many beggar children and disabled veterans, maybe this is the situation in Cambodia.

Walk to the edge of the little girl, head to sell to tourists and Lotus.

Almost every little attention of visitors to her photos for lens crazy, she's in front of the camera is so adept, always in constant smile.

Until now I still regret it, then why not ask her to buy a or a-Lotus to return her frequent smile, is a memorable scene. (Compartment shooting)

Rambling stalls.

Full street are all mad race motorcycle (the latter part of the cultural revolution in China can be very few people can afford a motorized), with three or four individuals is very good, there are many open various grades of small sleeping car.

No traffic rules at all, I did not see the police, even rarely see a traffic light.

The fairly small.

This strange and familiar, AO, come to think of it, in the last century 80 's of the Iran-Iraq war and the Iraq war from the TV screens seen such scenes, around that time refugees fleeing war, fled the scene in their hometown to reproduce here?!

This is a blind spot is too much traffic, first of all, their transport dictionary does not have the ' overload '.

Fortunately, it's nothing industry, do not hold a car a cargo run around the car, the car is for them, basically just pull people tools that can pull the number, how much, want to pull pulling, pulls. Pity I didn't steal this lens, two cars meet, relative speed is too fast, I tried several times to grab the clear screen. When we stopped to rest, there is no such a car passing, no way, really like to get this shot.

Even more frightening is that the car is not a short car, all long distance.

I asked the Guide: they are not afraid to fall? tour replied: ' no wayThe people are poor, ride the top rack of cheap, 1-1.5 dollars, to sit compartment, 4-5 dollars. ' Tour went on to say: ' sit four or five hours, which have slumbered in the fall, it's not good, if not dead, the driver will return the car to people killed, compensates the dead money rather than lose people with disabilities is much less money. Some do not, and so the driver reversing, followed up by the car died. ' So quick? hear creepy.

This huge spider is their mouth and delicious!
