Will these scattered pieces of the puzzle together organically flattening, that is the destination for a quiet trip — beautiful Cambodia.

First day: "keep invaders do not know," Phnom Penh

Because Beijing does not have a direct flight to Angkor in flight, so we enter through Phnom Penh in Cambodia.

Phnom Penh airport is very small, there are no ordinary Chinese capital city of the airport, but very clean very orderly, Cambodia I first impression, and is also the main this travel is always a good impression.

In Phnom Penh a late, going to the next morning ride on buses heading to Siem Reap (Angkor), but the driver does not "If you go to the Royal Palace, Cambodia is not a white to a" This persuasion, we soon changed his mind and decided to stay in Phnom Penh, half a day to the Royal Palace and museums to look at.

Afterwards also proves that this decision is very wise and bold!

Royal Palace: concentrated zhuangdanmozong affordable

Getting started with very little of the Royal Palace (ticket: 6 dollars), not with the Palace of the Meridian Gate.

But after entering the Palace, but no anomaly in quiet, common domestic destinations and bustling hive of activity. The Palace has a size of more than 20 Palace. If that is the magnificent forbidden city, here you are golden in the reflection. This is mainly due to the building consists of Golden (on behalf of Royal), yellow (on behalf of Buddhism) and white (on behalf of the Brahmanism) these three colors.

Kai Lin's Palace, the Palace's main hall, similar to the Imperial Palace, the King on the throne bevea vinichhl.

Throne inlaid with gold, diamonds, overlaid extremely delicate. Busy, here is the official audience with the King accept Pai, received foreign VIP, accept foreign envoys to submit credentials to the solemn and other major activities. Leisure, here you can play for common people to watch, it can truly be said "one of the standard model of dual-use"!

Kai Lin's Palace has two sharp spires, Cambodia common Buddha, let you, no matter where they can feel the Buddha smile and serene.

Palace of the four eave upwarping pointed, handsome in appearance. Each root at the top of the large post has a similar to China's "appearance in Zhen Zi Fengshenbang" sculptures, as if his post at the moment to absolute safety of defending Palace. Entry hall, shoes, no photographs, all in order to preserve this treasure in the baby. Walk where you have a sense of history. The surface was here by placing the treasures, your mind can't help will surface or Lenovo out of various historical events or stories. Kai Lin's Palace behind is a matter of course, the Palace became a tourist area is located.

Read Kay Marlene Palace, Palace, through a small gate, you will enter the "Silver Palace and silver pagoda area".

If that is the magnificent Royal Palace, so here it is white. The two are intertwined, as so-called "thick zhuangdanmozong affordable."

The region's Center is the silver Hall (because the floor is made of each 1.125 kg block of 5329 silver brick paved its name), also known as the Jade Buddha Temple (there is a statue carved with block emerald green of Emerald Jade Buddha), it is a temple-like building, is also the home of the Royal Family temple.

Step into the shoes "of the Hall there is a seat of 18 ct gold into statues, 90 kg, Buddha was inlaid with 9584 diamond, one of the largest mounted in the body chest, weighing 25 carat, followed by the value of a diamond, weighing 20 carats". In addition, the Palace also has silver and bronze Buddha Buddhism and many priceless works of art and world leaders to Cambodian King given precious souvenirs, it can truly be said here, priceless.

Out of the silver Hall, like the back walked where.

The North-East of the Temple of the silver is Norodom King's ashes Tower, South-East is the ashes of Anton King, East Central Tower is Norodom King bronze statue of a horse.

Silver temple walls inside the corridors of the walls, painted dynasties of merit and religious stories of murals, now some dilapidated.

Seeing this sight, in lament the ancients skilled at the same time, mountain people also have a little sad.

In leaving the silver Temple and the silver tower area, be sure to remember to see a not quite handsome small landscape – Angkor Temple (ANGKOR WAT) of miniature landscape.

This will be a "warm-up" with the capability to let you know in advance the Angkor temple's profile.

Museum: to walk the road of Khmer history

Walk from the Royal Palace, a few minutes to reach the Museum (entrance ticket: 3 USD).

If that is the "outward" Royal Palace, the Museum is the "diamond". From the outside at the Museum, small size, but also not very handsome, but a group of scarlet Khmer traditional architecture, but deep within, you find yourself swimming in the sea of Khmer history.

The Museum consists of main building and the three surrounding Atrium Exhibition Hall.

The Museum to Angkor ruins excavations of engraving works, contains a large number of national treasure carving. Therefore, to some extent, excursion Museum, equal to the previously completed the tour Angkor "homework".

Museum of Buddhist relics chronological order placed one by one: 4-9 century, 9-10 century Indian kadraba Kalman I period, 10-14 century Angkor Empire period, as well as the 14th century, at the end of the Angkor Empire.

Therefore, when you go down this route and slowly watching, as a matter of fact you like through the spatio-temporal tunnel "," quietly strolling in the "historical way", the thin ornamental Khmer Buddhist change history.

Museum of a backyard Central has a kiosk, worship a deity, surrounded by four man-made Lotus pool to grass garden and benches and white, like the flashes of the noise barrier wall, a Museum, downtown streets, let visitors still tours and open space.
