Bus first stopped at the gate of the area to buy tickets (tickets $ 20, 1-day tickets $ 40, $ 60 on 7 coupons) on the day after the booking to the Buchan mountain to watch the sunset. I consider 1 coupon no photos, no Memorial value are the same maomao bought 3 coupons, has its own day photos, then it seems a bit of a waste, but later found that I still have a prescient. Ticket, buses Angkor resort, see sunset a moat around the Angkor Temple mood really so a little bit excited. It took 15 minutes along the dusty trail climbs the mountain nesbakken, here is a look at the sunset will to place, 17: 30 on top of the Hill already overcrowded. Standing at the top you can see Angkor, Tonle, watching the soles of tracts of forest, there is a mistake in African feel. 18: 00 Sun with sunset falling, although many people at the top of the Hill, but basically there is no loud xuanhua, we all experience nature in a quiet and wonderful harmony of this moment.

Dinner tour guide describes in Cambodia's schedule, tomorrow is the small circle, acquired returns Phnom Penh, Phnom Penh tour dahoutian evening transfer to airport, since the tight schedule and, if you want to see the runs that are not included in the Palace of sunrise and women, are at your own expense, additional charge of 100 yuan/person.

Imagine that the team discussed a half day, has decided to follow the original arrangement, not to attend at your own expense. Finally here, how can waste time shopping and hotel, which contributed to my decision to get rid of the team and maonao, action alone, since we bought tickets for three days.

Lotus pool has gathered a lot of waiting for the Sunrise visitor, looking for a good location, with hold excitement waiting in Angkor's first Sunrise. In fact, this is not the best place to see the Sunrise, Angkor Temple of the three-tier architecture is in the way the horizon and zhaoxia, 5: 30 Angkor Temple began in the Sun showed clear contours, wait until 6: 30 the sun rises behind from Angkor, see the Sun is already a brilliant light.

From Angkor City (ANGKOR THOM) of South Gate, the first visit by 54 block and small Buddha Pagoda Temple consisting of BA Rong (BAYON), this is the Centre of Angkor, and also the appreciation of Angkor on behalf of the "Khmer smile" recently. However, due to the large number of visitors to the team, visit only the skin.

Bucket like Taiwan, Chinese zodiac Tower is rushing past, from the East of the Arc de Triomphe out visitors rare week tevoda (CHAU SAY THEVODA) had a church built on the ruins of renovation-the old course of construction.

Hot air balloon 15 minutes ($ 15/person), we caught a 17: 30, you can just watch the sunset in the balloon. While the balloon is fixed and cannot be imagined in Angkor airspace above flight, but from a height overlooking Angkor, mountain nesbakken and Tonle is a different feeling, especially appreciate the Tonle brilliant sunset.

Back to the car park entrance to Angkor, yet to the 18: 15 the rest of the time of collection, we will look up at the gate of the Agora, pirated books, discs, clothing, handmade scarf of hawkers are everywhere, just for fun I bought 8 cheap scarf ($ 4).

D4 April 23 (Monday): female Palace-disintegrating mealea-turned-Lung Poon pool-Holy Temple-post-old market live ANGKOR STAR

Travel with local brilliant (li_nanming@hotmail.com) settled, pack a day 11 block Benz minibuses with a fee of $ 5, guided tours for a total of $ 70.

8: 30 first station road 1 hour, is 15 km away from the city of the Royal Palace (BANTEAY SREY), included in the ticket, the same to the tickets at the door.

Female Palace is the only use of Angkor brick red conglomerate construction of temples, his frescoes adorn art also in Angkor monuments in the most delicate and fine, but in occupies not, because not everyones general tour route, visiting tourists, 30 minutes to complete. The Khmer era building embody a reproduction worship, as forest land (male genital) here is fully inflated to a flag. From viewing time, after 2: 00 in the afternoon the Sun launched a tour of the best female Palace and breaks.

10: 00 second stop is leaving the urban 55 km of dense column (BENG MEALEA), attractions tickets $ 5.

Since leaving the main attraction is a little distance, the road is not very good in one way miry road dust, so here are few of the visitors. Go to the annihilation in the jungle of dense column remains in the ruins of climbing the stroked climbed down, mottled stone wall, breathing the unique humid air, there is a close feeling of history and adventure.

The weather was very hot that people haven't shocking from just recover, not a great appetite for lunch, at the entrance of the collapsed mealea little restaurant just resolved.

But there's quite expensive price, a stir fried vegetables $ 2, $ 1, Cola with ice $ 0.25.

12: 30 third station make up Tower (PRE RUP), the use of masonry made of bricks, the temples of Angkor buildings belong to an earlier era, five-storey tower building symbolizes heaven from the animal to the evolutionary stages of five.

Temple basically invisible to visitors, sitting on the fifth floor of heaven, blowing Angkor in the afternoon, the unique experience of hot air, quietly history of precipitation. Make up the architectural style and East rush (EASTEM MEBON) similar, but more complete architecture preserved. If time allows only one such type of building, or select the former is better.

13: 15 fourth station longpan pool (NEAK PEAN), although it is called the pool, but because it is the dry season five pool is dried up, people can go to the bottom, near the pool of sculpture.

Here is the rainy season was better.

13: 45 fifth station Holy Temple (PREAH KHAN), the temples of big, relatively fine carving, seemed shrines of narrow version of Greece.

Not with the Group's advantages fully reflected, this time in the temple, the basic no one can sit down a thin taste and see if it's still early, find a flat place for 20 minutes of yoga, meditation natural space, the more you can fully feel with the surrounding gas field closely compatible, as I have already integrated into the segments have disappeared from history. 14: 35 by the North Gate of Angkor city along wire exit South Gate, South Gate, and even see a group of monkeys, the tourists are few and far between, Angkor will show natural lively side.

15: 00 check-in ANGKOR STAR ($ 30/day), meet our is used Tin cups of frozen beverages, first feels good.

Room quite big, furniture are rosewood, but feel that bedding don't seem to have a clean hotel yesterday, select here mainly to leave the town centre near the action. The hotel has a private entrance to tt fleet Mr.VAM called car is also very convenient.

In the hotel, to catch up on the prior to 17: 30 post postcard ($ 0.5/piece + $ 0.55 stamps).
