The unique architecture, the most fanciful, as in the case of BA Rong Temple (BAYON).

Just like Angkor VAT is not "cave", BA Rong Temple is not a "Temple". Look like a mountain, a close look at a group of towers, there are also temples within, called it "tashan Temple" or "Temple Hill Tower" is very appropriate. If you give a nickname, "the big forest" is more appropriate: BA Rong Temple 49 Tower, the Tower of the top four portrait, a total of 196 surface. Traveling to BA Rong Temple is like wandering in Buddha head in the forest, regardless of which corner, you will feel the "big head" look, this is his site, you are his people.

"Big head" is called El BA Mo 7 se face.

In the middle of the 12th century, the Champa people (in Viet Nam) once fell to Angkor, and the King was killed, people displaced, a dilapidated state. Called ye stand in need of Bashan, Moldova regain Angkor. Hindu gods did not defend their city from foreign aggression, called El PostScript conversion to Buddhism in Moab, grief, and Barry Rong the Angkor's greatest temple dedicated to the Buddha.

In the on the steps of Rong Temple, to see a young painter.

A white, a hat, barefoot and concentrate on painting. He's white and black BA Rong stark contrast, if you can put yourself into the drawing paper, maybe the best scenery. Also see several playing children and their mothers is the cleaner, while working with children. Greeting the children photography, they were screaming, mother aside. BA Rong so serene, must be called El PostScript friction transfer permanent ancient power.

Walk out the door, and reluctantly half circle around the field, to the King.

In the middle of a long corridor has been to the North, left the first monuments is the Brazilian side Temple (BAPHUON). According to Zhou emotions records, here is the original of a copper Tower, old, only one station. Pedestal surrounded by a rope, a blond foreigners inside climb climbing down. I see the poster on the cords are France flag, know he must be responsible for maintenance of France.

In 1993, UNESCO and the Cambodian Government launched the "save Angkor" international action, calling on all countries in the world on Angkor repair to economic and technical support.

Little Angkor soon became the "United Nations", a few large countries pledged their territory, such as the Palestinian side Temple is France, BA Rong Temple is Japan, TABB Chi Temple is India, Zhou tevoda is China. Engineering also worked for many years, that is, no progress, it is said that the technical level, it is to move those monuments hand carry navvy and skilled artisans of finely crafted, now fully mechanized operations, it is difficult to implement. Modern technology is not comparable with estimates of ancient technology, called El BA Mo seventh from watching this King and steal his music.

The Palestinian side Temple North is a philosophic writings like a week's Palace Courtyard, unfortunately the wood it early in the storm of baptism.

Air Palace (PHIMEANAKAS) was Angkor city's highest building, although only sites that do have a paragraph on the King's Palace erotic history: according to legend, it hides a snake, the night turns into a woman, the King must first and she can then coition, and the House in the same bed. If one day, King and flee. I don't think air Palace very likely is King and a place of meeting of civil woman, to deceive the public, to make snake like story.

The Palace to the East from the air and came to the Palace gate, there is a spacious platform.

Just want to get out of the map resolution direction, suddenly the Thunder, rain a little crack crackling pop hit. Third step and made two step ran down the platform, panic is not way to a shelter in the rain.

Start to rain if the note.

I found the "shelter" is a bit narrow. I this is? look at watching your own music, the original is in of a discharge like like nose!-like body attached to the platform, the nose plug straight after the arch from the ground, forming a natural corridor of the dome. I am meditating, this platform is the famous elephant bench (TERRACE OF THE ELEPHANTS). When the King stood on the podium in reviewing the infantry, cavalry and elephant line-up, watch a Grand Assembly of bucket-like, only in the race to win the champion of the elephant to become King of the driver's seat. The King would never think themselves at the foot of the statue will be used as shelter from the tool, and when he stood in the canopy, but lost a civilian.

Rain down, I went to the north side of elephant bench Doig Wang bench (TERRACE OF THE LEPER KING).

Otherwise there is a statue of King bed nude statue of no sex, now being covered with yellow monks, Jing swing flower fragrance. Who he was? why is it called "the King" Doig? historian thinks through textual Doig King location is royal crematorium, why he appears here? a series of mysteries to the mysterious Angkor package even more confusing. However this statue is a copy of King Doig, authentic collection in the National Museum of Phnom Penh, I went to Phnom Penh is specially visited it, that is way down the line, not tables.

From dirty Wong Toi walk to central square, opposite, there stands 12 block, exactly the same tower Temple (PRASAT SUOR PRATS).

Spacing is the same, ten in front, two in the back, their use has been controversial. Week of 12 century philosophy has given a difficulty convincing explanation that it was a place of public debate is, similar to today's Court and debate.

A large ring, find THA, he also beautiful and slept the sleep.

Sitting on a car door by victory tutu to the East, and the city of Angkor. A straight Boulevard into the distance, to lead us to Angkor more distant and dense.
