At 4: 00 pm just woke up, and many mix description, the window where all of the big cock and called the wowo nonstop, mind as to the long grass, can't sleep, time and again opened the curtains, waiting for the dawn, waiting for departure.

Today's trip is female Palace (Banteay Srei).

Female Palace building for its small, exquisite is famous for its vivid, magnificent, known as the "Pearl of the Angkor monuments" and "Angkor art drilling". Seen too many-to-female Palace of praise, it's looking forward to it. The Palace is located in Siem Reap city woman NATO 35 km, the road conditions are also good. The road on both sides of the Red Khmer land of Palm trees, coconut trees and various unknown tropical plants thriving and growing; high or low, or old or modern high foot flats everywhere; fluttering flag of primary school children playing in the playground; big people busy in the field of housing; cattle are leisurely chewing grass; Buffalo were lazy and lying on the ground a little NAP; small dogs are wandering around, looking for food; the cock who were chasing each other race each other ... A vibrant, beautiful rural scenery.

On the way after the Royal baths (Srah Srang), spacious Lake promosting, green trees, blue sky, cloud brightening Lake, calm and harmony.

Orange than grain Temple (Pre Rup) stand by the roadside, missing a visitor, only the male lion high with his head — every passer. Wonderful flashes continuously in roadsides, makes one hour by car to last, when far see women's pink castle, will hold its own, flying in General to it.

Women who have not taken the Royal Palace, it did not make funky stone steps, Dapper's triple courtyard in strong sunlight shot, exudes a special pink red sandstone.

The first female Palace gate broken very serious, like a window on both sides of the wire was incomplete, which revealed traces of time, only the door light still Yamagata Prefecture, as the goddess of the corolla, the exhaustion of the world's most beautiful and most luxurious decoration, a complex but not monotonous. The rolling waves, wings of God bird, ornate Dragon and snake, unknown Monster ... Tightly surrounded the gods and their mounts, the line was so beautiful, delicate and smooth and deep, all is not as if carved on hard stone. This may not be a simple hand, but with the heart, body, complete with the common belief is on the works of God Supreme dedication.

Threshold of the gate, just a 50 m of the corridor, here's the original four rectangular, but before the Palace have been collapsed, now only a remnant of heterogeneous symbol vitality of short Stone Forest gamma setting up there.

Through the second gate, suddenly fades away, in front of the left and blooming pink water lily pond, blue sky, green parts of plants, pink Palace a a reflection in the pond, happy endings, constitute a colour ink drawings, people with enjoyment. Visiting a path into the main part of female Palace, three South-North Temple Tower is rendered on the eyes, exquisite carving moments filled with eyes, a knife is telling moment, pass the beauty myth. Each door, each fan window, each side walls, each pillar, every inch of your skin are talking a wonderful pictorial: or solemn God Buddha, or odd Elf demon Devil sink or proportioned fairy Apsara, or vine cutting pattern decoration, or animal pattern on the horizon, it is like to come out from the stone in bloom, vivid, although after the Millennium, still like yesterday. Petting female Palace deeply etched on, trying to do with the heart and its deep exchanges, listen to it to tell the Millennium everything happening here, both glorious and adversity.

Temple Tower, two half-kneeling in the beast head human statue has disappeared (later learned was moved to the National Museum of Phnom Penh go), an empty left two elegant pedestal stand where a filament of lonely.

Female Palace is very small, with the eyes, around the temple Tower go two circle, just wish I could remember every detail here, and feel all the moved. Along the road to step back, cross-out of the gate, and then look back at the pink Temple, a beam of light jerked upheavals, Yiu makes me keep my eyes open eyes. Silently pray of Banteay Srei under the Sun can shine forever.
