Cambodia travels
Sequence
Many people are very curious, why honeymoon would think to Cambodian tourism.
In fact, for me, it is unexpected.For this trip travel, have several alternatives: Jiuzhaigou, Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, etc.
The essence of Jiuzhaigou in water, but the Jiuzhaigou Valley, it is said that April is dry, it unattractive to speak of.
Cangshan erhai Lake, Xishuangbanna, butterfly spring ...
All of the Yunnan province, in the mind like a beautiful dream.But when you are ready to work step by step, to discover this beautiful soap bubble had burst.
Dianchi Lake, the country is known, since you do not have to say.
Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, CCTV international travel online, there are many users of the guestbook, comments, more than 95% of people on the Yunnan beauty spot of zaike qike, high price for a strong complaint, the remaining part of the message is the city's tourism practitioners in finger-pointing, name-calling. Watch this posture, greatly surpass the Hainan tourism market anarchy orderly.Suddenly, like eating a fly.
Over the past few years from Lushan, Zhangjiajie, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Nanjing, Henan, Huangshan, PuTuo mountain ... These sites all the way to play down and know already what is tourism's vices, also used some excellent spots for standardized and orderly. Therefore, do not want to go visit Yunnan it drips of muddy water.So, where to go?
We only will Davao abroad.
My wife discovered in the ctrip some foreign free line packages, feel very affordable (http://www.ctrip.com/html/packagehome/main/).
Plus the user travels to Cambodia Tourism evaluation is high, we finally decided that the tour itinerary.Prepare
Ctrip's package includes round-trip airfare and in two cities in Cambodia hotel the night, the rest of the tour itinerary and expenses completely own decision, therefore, does not want to talk to the US, a high degree of freedom.
In Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou have departure (Beijing flights through Guangzhou), among which is the cheapest, most expensive, Beijing and Shanghai for ships entering and leaving the aircraft. Plus we will to Fujian before, so choose a departure from the Guangzhou, two people, a total of $ 5477 is affordable.Passport is overdue, but requires its own application for a visa.
In fact, Cambodia is able to check in falling to the Chinese people, but no visa, the Chinese side cannot go, unless you first to third countries, and therefore need good domestic applications.Visa can go to the Embassy or Consulate to apply for ($ 200 per person), you can also apply for e-Visa online (http://evisa.mfaic.gov.kh/, $ 25 per person, you need Paypal account).
There is no doubt easier to apply for e-Visa, but see a lot of travel in that e-Visa China does not recognize, it is worried. But there is no time to run the Consulate. Search a lot of articles, finally saw some people say that you can use e-Visa, also called Guangzhou Customs ask for a moment and get a definite answer, this just dare to apply e-visa.Application itself is no problem, but Paypal accounts submitted an application after much trouble, because the limit of $ 25, a time to apply for two visa pay 50 dollars always cannot succeed.
Finally had to separate applications, each paying $ 25, this is resolved. And I started to apply for fashion in Shanghai, and so the final payment has been successful, and to reach the Fujian, Sichuan, which is suspended. See the Internet have the same problem many people have had to say Paypal's system was really so bad, I know there are so many issues still firmly.Receive the e-Visa, print two copies of it can be used directly.
Ctrip service was not tight not slow, tickets have been sent to the last two days ahead of me to want to come to Shanghai, Sichuan and Fujianese, Guangzhou, lest convergence problem, do not receive tickets, money drakes.
Hit many times phone reminders, also good last is booked.See online a lot of people recommend domestic contact good hotel and drivers, we also try to contact the hotel, but during the bargain prices fail to reach an agreement, then simply decided that time again, I believe that no one goes to the tourist attractions in the world, absolutely no can't find hotels and drivers.
Cambodian Riel, the domestic currency and the dollar rate: 1 USD = 4000 Riel, but the Cambodian local traffic also, we exchange a $ 500 dollars.
As Cambodia is located in the tropics, we also bought some sunscreen, visor spare.
Departure
From Guangzhou Customs is easy.
First time out, no experience, follow the prompts to 3 hours ahead of time to the airport, very few people actually very smooth, about ten minutes will be able to handle all customs clearance procedures, results in a cold airport lounge in the hard to wait for a long time. And then fly from Guangzhou and Shanghai, only to find the domestic people bursts, queue very long, it is 2 hours ahead of time to the airport.More than two hours after the aircraft had arrived in Siem Reap from Guangzhou.
Near Siem Reap, look, here is the abstract set of Great Plains, barely point little fluctuation. Plains covered with lush vegetation, but also from the plane to see whether it is grass or shrubs, unsure of is that the unique characteristics of the trees on the plain. There is also a River meanders itsRooms, partition will be plain to pieces.Siem Reap airport is very small, but very pretty.
Terminal building has a rich Cambodian style, Golden Spire was striking, in front of the building with bright flowers and plants, many of which are national of unseen, everywhere to remind you that this is an exotic. The urge to immediately taken up, the camera is also shipping line bag and took out cell phone and had to cope with it.The accommodation ladder, a staff lead to customs.
Local people look on roughly or Oriental appearance, but it is black, you can imagine is the sunshine kula in Cambodia. However, Cambodia's heat does not seem to have thought so horrible, at least in our tour of the time, feeling and Wuhan, Shanghai's most hot, already feel so much better.Procedures for entering, as many users reminded, easily encountered by Customs officers to extort bribes, strategy or tactic of rigid foam screaming insanity, or paying money to leave.
I saw a tour packages, each passport are caught a dollar to rapid clearance.Out of the airport, directly in the operation of vehicle management service, call a taxi, 5 dollars can go to urban areas.
Our hotel is through ctrip scheduled Pacific Hotel from the airport is very close, in fact, not $ 5.
Bus driver English well, basically no accent.
After driving a car and we got chatting away, but started a few listen to it several times before you understand, he asked me, "Areyou
Cambodian? (you are not the Cambodians) "...
It seems that I'm really compare kudachoushen Ah. Unfortunately I don't speak Cambodian, otherwise pretend to local people, this trip will save a lot of expenses.The driver asked clear we were tourists, of course, is the development of business, I figure a convenience, and he negotiated a stroke and prices.
Angkor travel are generally the same evening to buy tickets and watch the sunset, the next day to see the sunrise and visit attractions, small circle tour spots in the third circle, then look at the situation around other attractions.
Given the large circle of spots and small circle of attractions there is taste similar to fatigue, so we plan to go to the big ring only relatively distinctive swords Temple, and the small circle are merged into one day, after going to the Royal Palace and the collapse of the dense women.However, and the driver had a bargaining, only about good afternoon $ 8 and the next day's car $ 15, third day trips and prices, fail to reach an agreement, had to shelve disputes, at that time.
The hotel is the 4-star hotel, from the hardware facilities to service attitude to 300 to Yuan price, excellent price/performance ratio.
Took out ctrip's confirmation into the room, in-room setting, very comfortable.
Open the window, the hotel had a Wang after azure swimming pool — our travel always is thrifty tours, is the first time live in such a high class hotel, really excited!In the hotel front desk for a few dollars, and then called zero banknotes in the lobby waiting on our drivers, go to Siem Reap city is a good idea, by the way I speak to the hotel after two days.
Siem Reap
Siem Reap is a small city, or should I say is a small town.
Because it is near the Angkor tour Angkor's base camp, thus rapidly developed into a very distinctive tourist cities.Siem Reap around old markets and new market is a tourist area, set the colonial style hotel, restaurant, bars lined.
Old market from various tourist souvenirs, jewelry, to the local people use everyday products, vegetables and fruits, have sales.
We simply turned out from the old market, suddenly found the sky is covered with a thick layer of clouds, the clouds above the gap has emerged in the colorful sunset from bottom to top with pink, yellow, yellow, Brown, yellow, Indigo, Burgundy, dark blue, light blue ...
Colorful sunset reflecting the Sun like 9 fairy woven Brocade, the beautiful is indescribable.At this point, even local people have looked up, face a surprised expression, passionate motorcycle drivers tell us they have never seen this phenomenon.
Oh, is God welcomes our coming?Our taxi driver's guidance, near the old market and grab a family hotel that was cut from 25USD to, and then a night 18USD to Angkor attractions buy tickets and watch the sunset.
All the way to the North, the asphalt road traffic is good, old trees towering on each side of the road, or can see vast plains, that is in the country have never seen by the broad and flat.
Soon the attractions tickets at the door, one day, three days, with seven-day ticket, ticket prices are $ 20, $ 40 and $ 60.
We buy for three days.Over the door, another car, came to drown in the tropical rain forest in the long-awaited, Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat is wide moat, feeling better than Beijing forbidden city is more spacious outside the moat, the river there are local people in the shower.
Taxi drove up to the front gate of Angkor Wat, the driver lets the door take picture of simple enjoy yourself and then went to watch the sunset mountain nesbakken.
We came across the moat of the bridge, the bridge railings is famous for mixing milk sea sculpture, almost every large palaces or the temple entrance railings are bound to be mixing milk sea.
Mixing milk sea comes from India epic story that tells of the Asura and beings in order to obtain immortality drug to seven heads Snake King as the wires to be
MI mountain to stir bar sorptive, constantly stirring. Mixing a Millennium, until the water mixing into milk, a large number of gods and treasures in mixing, Undead thus produce the drug.The top of the rail was a high high up in the seven heads the snake, the Snake's body is long fence around the side of the fence were 27 superior beings and Asura hold.
But here's the test of sculpture after the storm has incomplete and therefore saw no sense until later to Angkor city outside, see the more complete engraving, on mixing milk sea has a more emotional awareness.Just take a few photos, and suddenly it started to rain cats and dogs, we quickly ran back to the taxi, suppose the sunset is invisible, they hurry to rush the driver back to the hotel to rest.
In Cambodia after a few days, regardless of size, every afternoon will be the next rain. Later, because at this point is the rainy season, the inevitable rain in the afternoon every day. This, in the Yuan Zhou emotions the zhenla endemic "has been recorded, but I came back from the book, see the section, it seems that the natural law really is a traceable, thousands of years have not changed.Perhaps it is because every afternoon rain, perhaps because beside the sea, in short we are in Cambodia, the evening always fading cold, very comfortable, not like in the summer of Wuhan, in steamer Lane, steamed for one night or cooling.
Suddenly remembered also did not eat dinner while our hotel too bias, looking to eat and certainly not easy, we would tell the driver to fill the belly.
The driver asked we want to see the traditional dances of Cambodia, before we learned from the data section of the restaurant has a traditional song for free, it's no matter anyway in the evening, then simply go to amusing.
Rain soon stopped, and the time left to eat too early, they went to the old market stroll around in a circle, it will ask the bus driver to take us to the restaurant.
However, if you want to go to the old market to buy souvenirs, it should.
Because the market closes at six o'clock, and we had a few days later during the day are playing outside, etc come back at night market are closed, want to buy a souvenir also nowhere to buy. So if you have time to stroll around the old market, it should buy some things of interest.Drivers recommended is a man named Jasmine
Restaurant (Jasmine hotel), cafeteria, 12USD per person.
Inside the flavor of food in Cambodia are mostly taste, however there is a kind of noodle soup very fresh, barbecue is also very good. The most worthy of emphasis is fruit. Especially the papaya. There are also the domestic before tasted papaya, it should be said that there is no good impression. But we see here are all on the table is already cut into squares of fruit, knowledgeable, and did not know, it 's, I each get a little, try a fresh. One orange red flesh, and do not know, on the portal, Leighton sense a sniffed its rare fragrance fragrant, pulp mouth also, sweet. I was surprised, sharp savor the feeling seems to be the papaya, quick to recommend to the wife, the wife also praise after taste, call the original domestic eat before it's too difficult to eat the papaya, could hardly be called a papaya!Eat to 8 full, seven had been approaching, songs and dances it began.
First, some traditional instruments.
And then there are some strong traditional dances of Cambodia, some of the performance of the farm and children love love scenes, in the performance of the active life, but also has some humor. Comparative characteristic of their performances with coconut shells as props in performance while also knocking each other the coconut shell as the beat of the tool, even dance with the lively rhythm, the high-pressure high-pressure coconut acoustic sounds quite interesting.There are also dance some significant court or religious characteristics.
These dance though actor are female, but dress, but obviously divided into action both women and men. Actor is wearing a golden Spire, like Cambodia pagoda; dress very gorgeous, it is made of silk or silk embroidered with, or supported by Goldsmith, foot and also with various ornaments. Their dance movements, hand and foot posture is rich of Buddhism, and in Cambodia to see many of the statue is very similar.Through dance, probably around the clock, the driver has been waiting at the hotel, which is returned to the hotel lift.
Back to the hotel, the swimming pool edges sat for a while, this back room wash off.
Angkor
The second day, this is going to get up early to see the Sunrise, but the drivers to be lazy, I rather reluctantly, think there is still time, so that the driver was delayed.
At the first stop is the city of Angkor.
Angkor city also known as Angkor, as successive Kings imperial city like Beijing's forbidden city.
The city sits West to East, East to have two doors, one to all.We from the South Gate.
South Gate moat, mixing milk sea sculpture, the driver has let us get off to take pictures. Moat is already dry, lush green grass on the riverbed, the cattle in the cozy and eating grass.South Gate at the top of the great statue of Buddha head, one each in the Northwest of South-East, with a sweet smile, is this the famous Khmer smile: Buddha? it is said that this is a Cambodian King called El BA Mo seventh from their deification of statues, is the main monastery of Bayan.
Shoot photos, travelling into the city, the city is very narrow, the truck can reluctantly.
Enter the Angkor city, I saw two almost the entire black on the back of an elephant, keg visitors and staff, on the road slowly.
Further, while we look for drivers
Roadside, only see the side of the jungle to drill out a lot of monkeys, some female belly also hanging monkey, walk through the forest.Quickly see a city with plenty of rocks the building bricks, the driver parked in the parking lot, motioned us to visit.
View maps, this should be the Payan Temple, is the first official visit.
Welcome at Sun, we have embarked on a stone Temple Payan.
Walk a few steps, the immediate scene let us was shocked.
This is a city full of stone buildings of the temple, after eight years of hardships, many places already appear mottled dilapidated.
The temple is a stone pillar outside, which is two ring stone walkways, each circle corridors are higher than the perimeter of one level. Inner corridor in temple roof terrace, which is the multiple layers of Buddha, innumerable hung with Khmer smile of giant face really mind-blowing.We entered the monastery from the corner, perhaps because it is a stone built building, the building techniques, Temple of the channel are very narrow, wide rooms, but each stone's volume is very large, many statues are many stone pieces, see the domestic use block a large statue stone carving.
Along the steep stair climb stone cloister, a cloister of circle Vault is also part of the stones up, the lot with Batten support, it seems that due to poorly maintained, has become dangerous building.
Circular wall was engraved with exquisite relief, although we had bought the guide book "Cambodia" strongly recommended, but we lack the necessary background knowledge of religion, on the other hand relief also weathered badly, very hard to read, but we also need to hurry, after all, a day to visit the attractions or a lot, so just cursory look a bit from the Temple of the ladder at the temple roof.On top of the temple, they came to the called El BA Mo seventh from smile, all are huge Buddha head, which was also dressed in national costumes, waiting for the Khmer and photo of the girls in the recruiting business.
In smiley face photo before, then along the steep stone staircase climbing down.
Really can't figure out, why the temple stone steps are repaired so narrow and steep, and it is inconvenient. And stone steps before you end up with: ClimbAt your own risk! (climbing stone steps, at your own risk) order hearts cannot but more a careful.
To the other side of the Bayan Temple, open a huge stone cross seven vertical eight to a few big heap, do not know which country's maintenance team, put up scaffolding, carry out maintenance on the temples.
Perhaps today we can see the magnificent Payan Temple, has also been completely as immediate rocks heap depends the maintenance staff a brick to recovery. Suddenly on the front of building drab little respect, you think of when you see the terracotta warriors in Xi'an sees that heap of broken pottery, it is hard to imagine that so large compared to the force, has also the archaeologist like spell tangram, pottery fragments from lots of tiles. This requires what patience and perseverance.From Mr Temple, front followed by the war as the altar, the Palestinian side Temple, air palaces, the Imperial Palace and other attractions, we are too lazy to go and say hello to direct the driver to go forward.
Elephant altar is the King's parade rituals.
Front reading ceremony was a vast square, reading ceremony audience carved many elephants, this is the origin of its name.Elephant on the West side is the Brazilian side altar of the temple.
Former monastery is a straight side elevated channel, channel can see two huge pool of relics, while the bottom now is grass Moss. Scum Phoenix trees, Bay-tree, in Angkor forgotten for several hundred years, has grown into a giant tree, enveloped in Angkor monuments.The Palestinian side Temple has a five-story base, pyramid, we climb to the top of the temple, but is closed up in the Middle, a maintenance team of France is under maintenance.
Because of the lack of Cambodia's Angkor monuments of various attractions are operated by different state aid rehabilitation.
Along the Brazilian side Temple North, there is a small piece of hawkers set, buy some fans, scarves and other souvenirs, many in Angkor as subject of the painting, if not the volume is too big to carry, really want to buy a few pieces away.
Hawkers are also develop the ability to read people, see our people in Whispers: "Chinese", there are children around, pointing to the flute or a fan in the mouth with jiasheng Mandarin saying: "one piece".
But this piece but a dollar, is not a piece of the Renminbi, or does not pay, and so on which day I RMB purchasing power is so strong, it may be worthwhile to go abroad.If we do not have to purchase, the children price reduction is really fast: "two piece," "three a".
However we bought it is cumbersome, which can be bought in advance because of too heavy of candy friends didn't bring in the body, therefore had to keep going forward.Quickly into the air.
The reason the so-called air Palace, it is because of its high.In fact, air Palace is a structure very simple little temple, the top is a small cloister, according to "endemic" zhenla somewhat documented in the legend, including female Snake King Live, Cambodian King every night you must stay overnight with Snake King, otherwise inevitably suffered from the disaster.
But air Palace, really lives up to its name.
Each level of the ladder are narrow foot must be placed sideways, but many also worn.
Stone steps of the gradient around 1970, very steep, the wife and no confidence immediately. I have a person to climb on.Foot-and along the
S-line up for a while, it came to the first level cloisters, better high nose foreigners stroll along here, look at the steep cliff really let people two sprang.Around the galleries in a circle, and then climbed up mosques, but the wind above, blowing nice and cool.
A short rest, along the West side of the stone steps down.
The West has subsequently new built with arm of wooden ladders, so it is easier, otherwise the mountain ascent to retreat from the above security a little difficulty really is.We went back to the car park, Payan temple sits on taxi, from Angkor city East victory gate out of the city, to the outer ring of the Holy Temple.
Holy Monastery of trait is great.
It is Angkor spots we see in the area of greatest temples.As usual, the entrance to the temple is mixing milk sea, however, and before visiting the temple, the Holy Temple is not the kind of high and steep and base, only the scale of a cloister.
But the sword in the temple destroyed seriously, in addition to the East and South-North axis on the promenade, the rest of the corridor, the majority of rooms have become ruins, can only see piles of rocks.
From time to time to see the mighty Kat Bay tree in ruins, tenaciously to air extension.One building that looks quite some Athens Parthenon temple style.
Rectangular two-storey Palace-and-neck, top of the post for four square, the lower the pillars for the cylinder. But do not know the purpose of the building.Corridor side walls, carved many relief, relief, has lots of holes, it is said that these holes are inlaid with precious stones, to imagine that this is so brilliant.
Corridor in time there will be a Quartet in shitai shitai, a top end very sleek polished cylinder.
This thing is called Michael Lin, Shiva incarnate one symbolizes the Khmer culture of phallic worship.Although the sword in the temple no high pedestal, do not have to climb down, however long corridor also spent some time to stroll up again, this is from the temple to wear out.
Then go for a drive on the way of tea gel monastery, after a week tevoda.
Week tevoda is built by China. However we see week tevoda, it is not subject to repair the old principles, a new patch of concrete blocks and flat like new, and those who survived centuries of residual traces of rain is out of tune. Hope is the unfinished sake bar.Tea gel temple built by Emperor because suddenly died, so it is no completion of the temple.
However the main body of the temple was basically completed, therefore high base and top of the temple buildings you can visit. However his wife saw the dizzy steep stone steps, so I had to climb a person.Top paid for mosques in tea gel, four have a temple, a layer in the middle of the prominent, it is also a small temple with a stroke color of Buddha, there are some incense.
Standing at a moment admiring temple roof, this vision slowly slide down to the next station Tabb Horyu.
Tabb Horyu has two points.
First, the temple has the typical Kyrgyz Bay tree invasion landscape of ruins. Second, here is the movie "in the mood for love" and "Tomb Raider" location.The temple has extensive Kat Bay tree, they blend in with the temples, large roots firmly around the temples, monasteries, if alive without maintenance, soon there will be completely transformed into a pile of rocks.
In many parts of the corridors are unable to walk, along with a huge stone, from time to time to see tourists sitting by the roadside, hand-holding guide book in timely tutorial Khmer history.
It is also common in Cambodian tourism scene because too many historical concentrated here, if not timely and studied, it is difficult to understand this story behind the scenes.In one corner, like a construction site, workers in construction, Rob nervously at Kat Bay tree before saving the Tabb Horyu.
From Tabb Horyu, is empty.
Temple is a row of food stalls, we got to the driver prior to their booth, each lit a bowl of noodles, 3.5 beautiful knife. Waitingfor, served a term, is instant noodles! 20 dollars Ah, actually did eat a bowl of noodles! it seems really should own belt dry food.My noodle is fairly fit, do they have a stomach, after all, even to walk in the afternoon.
However his wife breathed some mouth, it is very difficult to swallow, but to leave.And then hurried visited spot dot Sakti Temple, they kill to the Angkor Wat.
Considering that his wife didn't eat for lunch, and hot and thirsty, Angkor Wat, bought two mango, solutions for thirst.
Here is indeed a very sweet mango tropical, absolutely domestic eat.Eating mangoes, it began to visit the Angkor Wat.
Angkor VAT in Sanskrit means "Temple of" sitting East towards the West, is dedicated to the temples, also pishinu is the King of their tomb.
Crossed yesterday due to heavy rain shower back and too late to visit moat, we entered the Angkor Wat.
Enter the temple door, the front is a straight overhead channel, and the Palestinian side temple style a bit like, but the scale is large does not know how many times the straight road to Angkor Temple in the distance.
Both sides of the aisle, a spacious lawn, towering trees around on the grass around, green makes people feel relaxed and happy look, while a broad perspective and let people always feel the Royal style.
The front end of the channel is Wu
Gothic Palace of the cave. Angkor VAT features: one big four small five-seat top far stands, I immediately fly to the front look out.As the crowd went, channel, and on either side of the fence is the Snake King's body.
At the end of the railings, smugglers high Ngong, exhibiting here different styles.Go to channel half out, there are steps you can to the sides of the lawn.
There is a large lake on the left side, many people in the Lake, there are a few pictures by 5-year-old Cambodian children playing in the water.We also came to the Lake, Angkor Spire reflecting in the Lake, reflection and real combined to form a complete picture, was interesting.
Lakeside Mall, many local people watching big umbrella in selling souvenirs and fruit.
Going forward, all of a sudden the entire Lake whirlwind, sand, many people were blown discomfited.
Fortunately we walk in the direction of the wind, not exactly but suffering.Rain and wind did beat down, we hurriedly quickened, walked into the Angkor Wat.
Just enter the Angkor Wat, torrential rain, the wind blows to the temple filled with shelter from the people, we also congratulates on the road at this time, otherwise I'm afraid to become the next.
Since we cannot go, just slowly around Angkor Wat.
Here is just a few Chinese tour groups, said Chinese tour guide, and we will follow the Rails guides.
A total of three-layer base, Angkor Wat, a total of about 20 stories high.
The first level there are approximately 800 meters around the inside wall of the corridor, listing the contents of the relief, the elegant mainly India epic the Ramayana Hin-the law and the present number of Moab, Oh and some praise the deeds of King.
Comparison of deep impression or mixing milk sea wall relief than railings sculpture content rich, basically reflects the original appearance of the story.The second tier of the porch are some damaged Buddha images, listen to the Guide, these statues are also left behind after the catastrophe, there are a lot of gold and silver before the jewellery and exquisite statues, but are people robbed Thailand.
The second layer also has several bathing pool for King, there are also, however when we visit, see the driving rain are dumped into the pool, the pool cannot be completely submerged vast stones.
Along the corridor to climb the third layer, the third layer Central is an open platform, the platform of the Central is a high-profile, leads to the so-called "cloud".
But the stone steps around the Genting are locked up, and perhaps also the maintenance of right, but not on the highest point is going to visit, always a little regret. Especially the stone steps is also top of the steep narrow, and does not try, it is not in my heart.At this point more rain, run-down corridor has not fully cover the wind and rain, the gallery top slot Department falls down drips with water, the ground of low-lying areas, also accumulated up water.
A storm and was rushed to the years of mouldy Yifa obvious that make people feel uncomfortable.We had a third tier Gallery go round, finally found a storm cannot attack, they stood there watching rain.
Only the wind wrapped in heavy rain pours, but also on a cloud into a waterfall on its torrent dashes down from Genting, was a rare spectacle.Waitingfor, finally get to rain a bit small, we began with an umbrella, and went back to Angkor Wat.
Followed by a line both sides of the Avenue, the dense forest.
At the end of the Boulevard, a dilapidated Temple, maybe the back door of entrance, in short, nothing to see, so he had to return the same way.Back to the floor in front of Angkor Wat, one on the road was covered with rain on the floor of small insects, many being trampled to death, but there are a lot of dumping out wings, mating hold together.
More surprisingly, looking out at the roadside from time to time, channeling, predator lizards on Earth insects. There are lizard head can be 20 to 30 cm, it had to lament the ecological good here.Meant to evening to watch the sunset mountain nesbakken, this is a classic tour of Angkor.
But since the rainy, sunset is not, then let the driver directly we sent back to the hotel.But today's Hotel may not be the 4-star hotel.
The outside the hotel, lying on the wall for several branches of Gecko, the capture of mosquitoes. Fortunately, my wife and I do not mind, if it is a timid girls, I'm afraid is getting scared.A short break, we went to dinner in the old market.
I want to experience a little localization life, so in my insistence, found a large gears and sat down.
Menu design, but the various surfaces of the name eye, see spent the boss over for one asked again, this just understand Noodle is instant noodles,
Rice Noodle is white rice flour,
Yellow Noodle is a yellow noodles.
Large gears of prices is indeed cheaper, staple 3000 real can get, most cost-effective or juice, 2000 real a mug, delicious, we drank also wants to drink, there to here the posture of the juice of dynamism.
But second-day itineraries and drivers fail to reach an agreement, we want to go to the women of the Royal Palace and the collapse of the density column, but the driver says at least 70 dollars, this is not a small figure.
Finally, use tuktuk to see the sunrise and the Royal Palace, $ 25.Female Palace
The second
Days got up early, such as in a tuktuk is outside the hotel. Tuktuk driver, however, English may not sounds, basic English communication is almost impossible.To see the Sunrise before heading to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat Gate has a lot of people there, I quickly picked a commanding heights, face-Angkor Wat-good camera tripod, joined the ranks of waiting.
As Angkor Wat and more red above zhaoxia, a red sun slowly reveal a face, quickly grab a crazy press the shutter button, and then watching the Sun hid in a thick cloud layer.
We don't live, the Sun's face, or that it can't see the sunrise.And then we have already gone to Angkor Wat, fill some yesterday because of the camera shot of no electricity, it is returned to the scenic tuktuk car.
According to yesterday's agreement, we also take tuktuk is going to visit the remaining spots in the outer ring, but think about it some aesthetic fatigue, decide to go to the women of the Royal Palace.
The next hand draw foot and driver communication for a long time, this just let him understand what we mean.Female Palace was very much in the car almost fell over an hour.
However traffic overall fairly well, overall are asphalted road surface, online friends have said to dust with scarves, we think it is totally unnecessary.Passing a Cambodian Bazaar, near the market place, with local residents diaojiaolou.
Conditions better, is a brick, the poor condition of the wooden structure or even ride a thatched roof. And didn't see the air conditioning, don't know if there is no charge or were mounted on the side facing away from the street?Finally arrived at the palace women, from the first door doorway, female the Royal Palace of the fine to give us too much surprised and shocked.
Female Palace building slightly red tone, all buildings above are engraved with exquisite high-relief, either post the engraved wave on the door, or that a statue of Buddha, are very attractive.
Statue of a female Palace, a large number of such techniques are applied to hollow out, and the vivid, smooth lines, each nuances are polished so exquisite, and the previous day to see those temples, looks so beautiful, wonderful.Female Palace back is three minaret, which is also a moment full of vivid character and exquisite decoration, tour of the people all wishers, as this art collection and laments.
Tour through the palace women, some kinds of treasures of joy, wonder woman, the Royal Palace known as the "Angkor art drilling", if you are at the Cambodia instead of female Palace, the absolute is the greatest regret, because you will miss out on most beautiful side of Angkor Wat.
The women of the Royal Palace, ask the bus driver to take us back to the urban area as soon as possible, I would like to see if there is no possibility to collapse the dense column.
To the city, we find a travel agency, first set up the next day went to Phnom Penh by Mae public express 11 USD per person, the last two tickets, hugged.
Because the coach station is far away from urban areas, they will cut down the hotel name, add service.And then ask for a down market collapse mealea, at least 70 dollars.
Feast on a raspberry, so expensive, it seems that the taxi driver did not deceive me. But two people really taking jobs, so decided to give up disintegrating dense column.Simply hired two bikes, along the Siem Reap River tour.
Siem Reap is a tourist city, there are a lot of upscale hotels, the city is also very beautiful.Then go to visit the National Museum of the Siem Reap, $ 12 per person, you cannot take pictures.
Inside the exhibits should be said that not many, smaller scale than the Shanghai Museum. Inside visitors seldom, but the benefit was almost can enjoy the service staff of the VIP service, there are a lot of explanation video, service personnel asked us what the people, and then play the appropriate language, if more people, it is not possible.Evening and walked around, come and go to that big gears yesterday and bought two cups of juice, a desire.
Phnom Penh
The second day is a small van to pick up, to the bus station, it is a bustling, lively.
Before to see someone buy a fruit shaped like skins of Orange, white, texture looks like taro, it also put some red things.
Fear no breakfast on board, I decided to buy one of these things and a green mango try.Get on down, they took out just bought fruit.
First took a bite out of the white fruit, Wow, it tastes, life will recall that gadgets and bitter and sour and astringent and locals also put a lot of salt and pepper, and salt and pepper, really is as if it were knocked out of the FSA bottles, quickly.Well, this is not used to eat, or replace the mango, so took a bite out of the Green mango.
This Green mango tastes a bit like Green Apple, crunchy, although a little sour, but compared to the stuff, the taste is gentle. But don't feel too good, after all, in my impression, the mango is a soft, waxy waxy water sufficient and sweet, and the Green mango is also down, waiting to eat breakfast on the hair.Car about half the distance, in a city break, the following also have a lot of fruit, mango, the head of the great, and I also heart itch, then cut a little price, 2 dollars for a small two mango.
There is next to sell a wide variety of insect, insects, locusts, Palm-size spider, cicada, cricket, etc, are all fried golden glow,
Many visitors at the onlookers, but dare to try. I am very interested, but his enthusiasm is not high, so also uninterested to buy.Get on the bus, and can't wait to eat a mango, sweet and delicate, it really was great! but this mango is too great to eat about two-thirds of our two people on the go is no, not to mention the second, had to be put up later.
After about 6 hours of driving we arrived in Phnom Penh.
First stuff to the hotel, we are on the map to find out the location of the Palace, not far from the hotel, decided to go past.
Just next to the hotel, is a primary school, there is also a temple.
Cambodia over 90% of people believe in Buddhism, therefore, there is a temple in the school is also very good, but school wall painting posters also have significant religious features.School student students with school uniforms, boy's white shirt Navy color pants, women's white shirt with a skirt.
Several students were playing, see me take pictures, they are holding back, with a variety of positions, so I also took out we had bought sugar, among them, soon to be a steal and light.The Royal Palace in the Siem Reap River, close to the National Museum.
Unfortunately, the lack of time, we can only visit one of spots, had to abandon the State Museum.Palace of Thailand Bangkok Palace buildings to imitated, while strong Khmer traditional style, on the top of the white wall, especially the sharp jinding, is a typical Cambodian style.
Palace of the main hall and silver Temple, access visits, but visitors to take your shoes off.
The main hall is a Cambodian King reception guests and held important activities, such as the coronation ceremony, there was the King's throne.
Silver in the Temple of the floor is made of total weight 5 tons of silver bricks, which displayed various Cambodian Royal treasures, you can appreciate.
In Palace Square in a kind of tree is very interesting, named shell tree.
This tree of calyx is long, dense, around the tree trunks, all year round are flowering, and also a lot of fruit, fruit maturity fell to the ground will explode, makes a lot of sound, like a bomb exploding, hence named shell tree.There are also two very unusual trees, leaves like banana leaf, but looks is structured, like a Peacock.
Close to the evening, the rain began falling sign Lek, ground up, our trip to Cambodia is also close to the end.
Return
The next morning, we pack up and ready, it will also take a tuktuk reached Phnom Penh International Airport on, ready to return home.
Return smoothly, it is important to note the departure of Cambodia will charge a service fee of 25USD.
This trip is full of Cambodia, and ctrip travel package is also very convenient and affordable.
Especially the Cambodian fruits, impressed me. Cambodia travel order in General is also very good, with Cambodia's economy is still not very developed, so the price level for us, it is also acceptable. If the appreciation of the Renminbi, exit tour more, of course, more cost-effective!
