Cambodia-Angkor article IV

In Angkor's second day, we are sore leg pain to get up. Old, but ability to let alone actually got up late, takes a look at nothing. Fortunately, KEN told us that there is no sun, is the balance a bit. The next day, but to complement the first day of class, the small circle surprisingly famous Angkor Empire city have never been, it is inefficient to the extreme. So early in the morning, yawning arrived BA Rong Temple. BA Rong Temple (BAYON) look like a temple, gravel Hill, pressure root no King of bearing and demeanor. Went into the temple, and on the third floor will marvel at it's charm. Walk the winding corridors, climbed the steep steps, the most classic of the bodhisattva AVALOKITESHVARA face look from every corner. The entire BA Rong Temple 54 block, this Gothic Tower, each building on all four sides of the pagoda carved designs vary, the smile of Buddha head, vision and are able to see several head---some are entire face, there is only an outline. These avatar or horizontal gaze at your eyes or your above watching you. Local people believe that Khmer Empire was divided into 54 provinces are under the control of the Buddha, so there will be 54 seater pagoda to represent 54 different provinces. Eight Rong Temple faces East, so many people like to go there in the morning, when the sun warm hand over every Buddha head, their face looks so calm and gentle. From BA Rong Temple, all the way to the North, after being repaired by the baphuon (BAPHUON) is a quiet temple Pura, Lei (PREAH PALILAY), small temples is a bit like Tibetan inscription, a few huge old trees entrenched in Temple edges, is especially outstanding. Here, the Sun become bright, tourists and few, but more like impression of Angkor. Angkor Empire city's attractions are many, more concentrated. From BA Rong temple to quiet temple Pura, Lei Wang platform again to seta (TERRACE OF TEH LEPER KING), elephant platform (terrace of elephants), a roadside watching beat comes even spent a morning. Before lunch or just hungry tummies, arrived in the Holy Temple (PREAH KHAN). Holy Temple Angkor is one of the largest temples, here have a complex arch-shaped corridor, exquisite carving works with MOSS and stones. It and the famous Tabb long formed the perfect counterpart, usually here tourists less than Tabb lung, but also save a lot better than it intact, is well worth a go. Most of them are near from the main road entering temples, Simon, so they need through the whole temple to the East, and then returns the Central Temple, from the North Gate to leave. Highly recommended is a strange in the East of Greece-two-storey building, like Athens of import. Maybe it in Athens is not nothing, but here is especially and abrupt. As usual in the Cafe solves the lunch, two hours, before moving on the road. Poor driver was our hard to the Angkor Empire city in 13 km far from the roluos Temple group, may be looked at too many temples would also like to see the scenery of Cambodia. All of the fields, coconut and small village, but don't have a flavor. To drive 45 minutes to get to the roluos Temple Group (ROLUOS GROUP). It is the sacred Bull Temple (PREAH KO), empty temple (BAKONG) and Loreto Temple (LOLEI). In fact, sacred Bull Temple and monastery is very similar to Loreto, are four brick structure of the pagoda, there is nothing special about it. Just visit probably 10 minutes gaoding. However, Loreto monastery around the small village and empty temple practices matter nun, make people feel more cordial, less dignified and is filled with the breath of life in rural areas. In particular, Loreto temple gate do manual egg rolls of small traders, if you like his dessert, he will be happy to send you a mini shape. Bad air Temple is one of the largest one of temples, is one of the most interesting. Because it's in the East there is also an active Buddhist temples, crowds out the discrepancy in the nun, feel in a living monument, visit. Well, the second day of record ends here. Tired Ah ~ ~ ~
