Thanks to the network developed and many enthusiastic individuals, its own strategy, makes sharing prior lessons can be completed successfully. On the way and some episode, friends know our plan also joined in, and eventually become a five-person team, led by the husband to four women. Once in China Southern Airlines Web site seen very cheap in Guangzhou to Siem Reap for round-trip ticket, did not realize that when determining when she realized that she wanted to buy something once missed you no longer have. See ticket prices soaring, eventually we booked the departure from the Guangzhou ctrip's Siem Reap 4 free line, including airfare, Angkor Prince Hotel 3 days accommodation, insurance, pick-up, etc., an average of more than 2400, also good. Visa is the online electronic visas, 25 knives per person, children under 12 years of age do not require that we don't know what the requirements are also applied to only charge a handling fee of 5 knife, upload photos, right at home on a white wall patted shear.

When entering obediently took the legendary 1 knife tip, others are ' money, money "and mumbling and kept pointing US dollar, forget it. Think about how many visitors per day entering customs, it is a lucrative posts. To the hotel, a cup of cool wellcome drink, laid down their luggage, they would go out at nearby fill belly, empty hands didn't bring anything. Just stepped out of tens of meters, down a few drops of rain, less than 5 seconds pouring down. Hurry before the in-place shelter from the rain, discover is a great hotel, and then ask, is the performance Hall in the vicinity of the buffet, per person, children 50% 12. Plan trips also show a, may not be this, strike, strike, people considered as day! go in it, there is no other choice. The waiter brought in, the Hall has a tight, even front also empty a table, lol luck super good! arena and the girls are jumping dance, light up, slow down legs, hands, with a variety of wonderful swinging doors, great flavor. This is what we discovered a Cup, so, with camera, unfortunately, unfortunately, had to bear in mind. The Cambodia's first meal, enjoy a show in the eyes, mouth and enjoy the delicious, value. Do you want to learn from our lessons, camera take, because any time surprises are harvested. 【 6 August 】 tour first day, a small circle, focus: BA Rong Temple, TABB cages may be a little past midnight, there's two people make, very pleasant ringtones but determined to see the sunrise. The window of a street or a dark one, her husband out of turn in a circle, back to a tragic news, a little rain. Pray, hope miracle. 5 o'clock we saw in the lobby, in advance, online contact Pete good English drivers. In the next few days, Pete carrying we went to many attractions, is a very responsible and very kind person (behind will be dedicated to Pete). Tell a small detail, before the last mail, Pete specifically written to, we remind hotel front, ahead of our breakfast package for up to take to see a Sunrise, a little moved. In the predawn darkness, Pete and his brother all open a tuktuk, carrying us to buy tickets, 3 days ticket per person 40, children under 12 free of fare (children, remember to bring Passport OH). Oh, my daughter is still a few months and made. Think of domestic fixed the hundreds of tickets, the price is really very kind. Booking is complete, continue to hit the road, the first destination of Angkor to see the sunrise. Arrived, the step has a lot of people waiting for the rain has intermittence, it seems that Sunrise is a dodo. The sky was lit up, suddenly the sky has a red color, and then immediately disappear. Hey, miracle didn't was born, who told it is the rainy season, we are already well prepared. Along the long walk of Shen road, breathing the fresh air after the rain, in the early morning of Angkor don't have a quiet beauty. 6: 20 from Angkor, Pete smiling face up, and will always do so, he first found us, do not know what is the trick. Next stop is the goal of our morning: five gates surrounding capital--Angkor Empire City (Angkor). Well, we see two teams of stone, that is-beings and Asura, together with the snake God that Caleb, a mixing milk the story of the sea. At the end of the stone, is the capital city of South Gate of Angkor, above the Gates is carved Buddha's Tower. Gates did not think so magnificent tall, but that they all face down so that people cannot ignore its presence. The center of the capital city of Angkor is BA Rong Temple, famous ' Khmer smile ' here, this is also a tour of the morning. BA Rong Temple of outermost corridors carve full relief, holding precious book (around the world — Cambodia and Angkor Temple), a description of a piece of an appreciation, exclamation, imagine the scene that age. Through the lobby, along the stairs up, suddenly appear among the great stone face, one, two, and. .. That a total of 54 seater Chin is the goddess of mercy of the four towers, 216 face, imagine the scene was so spectacular, shocked. Guanyin well who have not seen before, it is said that at the time of King let craftsmen in accordance with the King your face for engraving, can really act of hypocrisy. Leave BA Rong Temple, have visited the Palestinian side Temple, air Palace, elephant bench, Doig Wong Toi, in ancient kings parade forces place experience, finally saw the photos seen many large banyan tree, the tree is the bus stop, and avoid the heat of the tuktuk visitors. Siem Reap's lunch 11: 00 a.m. to 2: 00 pm, is a day in the heat of the moment. Get up early in the morning, then already tired and hot, retreat, back to the hotel. Nowhere Man a slacken you sleepy, 2 old was reluctant to go out and find food, meal only-room. Cambodia restaurant is a little like domestic meals, a copy of a document. Not to mention the level of the hotel is really good, it tastes very good, the price is also acceptable, almostEach of the 5-tool, we have a fengjuancanyun, even chickens appetite's daughter also gnaw a mighty Hamburg. This meal directly led to the subsequent lunch in Hotel addresses, depressed, I worked so hard to study food strategy. 2: 30 in the afternoon, we went to the mysterious Tabb Ah. To this place, we are dedicated to finding the "Tomb Raider" again to review it again. Although a lot of pictures before seen, but when it happens to you, or forced to worship the grandeur of nature. Sturdy tree roots exposed on the surface, like a shuyao saddle in temples, such as the serpent coiling, such as sword upright, tree haunted monastery, Temple supports trees for thousands of years of Power rivalry. Visit out Ah, Tabou passing week tevoda, a Chinese healing temples, patched too new always feel coordination. The Angkor, how can the mountain nesbakken. Mountain nesbakken is Angkor among the three holy mountain, mountain nesbakken temple building, located in the Centre of the capital, and stands for the Buddhist concept of xumeshan, here is the best place to sunset. Along the road up to bakheng, has also floated up raindrops, quickly hands and feet to climb stairs. Somehow, Cambodia to the next level are very narrow, you can only set aside half a foot, and span a large per level, including the Royal Palace or something like this, the King when it easily. Now plus years of erosion, the edges are ground into a circular shape, so we can separate the two teams, one team, a team, a team hold wall carefully crawl so not much in the stage. Climb the highest point, and a gust of showers, well in time. The fresh air after the rain and cool, take a deep breath, that is at the foot of the boundless tropical jungle, the distance of Angkor to reveal a few cut corn tip, and the other side pieces with wave in rice fields. A group of Spain, with the assistance of the Belle gaily singing dancing. The sunset while wreck, but still did not trip. 【 7 August 】 second day focusing on: the Holy Temple, Angkor Hotel Mimi and had a buffet breakfast, rice noodles, small cake is delicious fruit drops is also very rich. Our 7 points in time off to great circle of the Holy Temple. The original temple of the sacred sword does not hold much hope, BA Rong have Smiley, Ah has strange tree Tabb, it seems to have no special place, the result is a feeling to play down unexpectedly. Holy Monastery of perimeter with a quiet river, beautiful like a painting. Due to the early, swords secluded tranquil Temple, the basic no tourists. One stone pillar, wall carved fairy, Earth scattered with stones, covered with MOSS, feel great, so we arrived at POSE, madly sentries sentries. Angkor's repair work, which is the world's largest jigsaw puzzle, so much the collapse of the stones to find the correct position-position is so huge, so we still have a lot of home stones could not be found scattered in various places. Walk on sunlight in a 2-story building, is said to be at the library, the lower one very big stone pillar stands, there is taste of ancient Rome, while China's wood structures are under the age of violence. In the Holy Temple, we also found strange giant tree, has a very long elephant nose downward along the wall, people couldn't catch a hand. Because of the Holy Temple spent too much time, remaining temples some hasty shoot some photographs, some directly Pass. Back to the hotel is close to 12 point, as usual in the hotel settlement lunch, Cambodia-flavor, Southeast Asia, Western food, rice, noodles, rice noodle, select a lot, in a suitable for you (how do you feel in advertising?), although the additional 10% service charge, but guests can play 88%, the meal we had 5 people spend 32 knife, the key is not to go out with Sun, you can have more time to rest. 3 pm we went to Angkor Temple (Angkor) seed, Angkor Temple face West, morning is backlighting, usually in the afternoon visit Angkor. The last is to see the Sunrise, and now the Sun of Angkor and the morning feeling completely different, the power of the Sun, the clouds was unpredictable, groups of dragonflies flying everywhere. Lotus scum can complete to see Angkor's five Spire and reflection in the water, but now part of the journey, the destruction of its perfection. Pete told us that five and a half of the Central Hall is no longer allowed to go up, and you want to line up, so we can't be like that in Rong Temple look outer porch, hurriedly browse into the porch, 2 2 porch on the statue, gesture gestures, engraving precision. When the Central Palace stands before us, we'd be shocked. Earlier years here on all four sides are allowed to climb the ladder, but too narrow and steep, now at the side of the steps to build a wooden staircase allows. The stairs before was a long line, and finally turn to, should be advised not to children under the age of 12, in addition to our one companion due to wearing hot pants to God not enough respect, nor shall it, two people had to wait in the following. But at the same time and have a chuckle, in the absence of the peer, in the following with daughter's not just me? hehe, sort of not HD. Close to the evening sky and gathered up a heap of black clouds, sank oppression, suddenly, the sky like being torn slashacross, down pours out a line of Sun, heaven's glorious shining beings. Back in town after we went directly to the bar street, find the Internet very famous ' red piano ', this is a 2-layer bars, we sat in the open area of the lower outer ring, slant top paddle slowly go up, but don't feel hot and stuck in loose low sofa Sultan. Has been seen that delicious shake in Cambodia, then point to a mixed juice (1.75 knife), cool and refreshing, the flotilla. Here's the price of course cheaper than a hotel, but it is said that more than other bars or expensive 0.5-1 knife, recommended some dishes such as chicken curry fish amok, and so on are quite good. Back finishing photo found that we had a delicious photos did not, huh, huh, was really hungry upside, just to eat. 【 August 】 Siem Reap's last day, focus: female Palace, Tonle today we went to the outer ring, is sitting Pete Van to relatives, a Mercedes Benz minibuses, this car had a knife as long as the 6000, but a new car, Oh. Listen to Pete'sRecommendations, we set off at 6: 30, 7: 30 arrived female Palace. Female Palace is a Palace of the Queen's residence, which is the female craftsmen's work. Its construction was earlier, red and Red Rock, is a world of Rouge. The above exceptions, is carving a beautiful Angkor all buildings adorn the most granular, small temples carved with Hindu legends of mythical stories. Here met a Chinese tour guide, explain to the family, we hear a lot of stories. Guided tours in four years, and a Chinese man living in Taiwan, Chinese say quite. Palm-size temples we go an hour, when I met several mission is into it, such a small place filled with people inside, how bad it is. Look, this is an early harvest. The car continued to drive for 20 minutes, we reach a high step to think. High step to think Obama is the source of the Siem Reap River, a small mountain, the stone was built many temples, from here, then shipped by an elephant. From the ticket check point to the top of the mountain have 1.5km, we started climbing, this is really the road, bare roots formed a natural stage. Walk through our heads in the jungle, intervals, there is a sign indicating the number of meters to go, let. Finally heard the sound, then give lying on the river of gods quietly waiting for us. Then go to an old man, pointing to us individually carved in stone River goddess, frog, rhino, and that a large a large tracts of forest land, a place is covered with MOSS to see patterns, old man standing in water, hand-polished stone, exposing the goddess of lying. We take photographs in the waterfall edge, old alongside quietly waiting, relying on such explanation, earn some tips, this is his life source? but he was so calm and smiling, a butterfly landed on his foot faces long gone. Down the road, we come across a lot of the mountain, it is one step ahead. Follow this road, it is important to remember that wearing a pair of shoes. Back to the bus, is sweat, quickly drove to the town. Originally prepared morning checkout, Pete said climbing will sweat, it is recommended that you go back a bath at noon and then check out more comfortable, it is a wise decision. Back to hotel is 11: 45, and the front desk was greeted, deferred check out, a bit to comfort bath. As usual, lunch in Hotel addresses, just like the hotel said ByeBye. The afternoon is Angkor trip last attractions---Tonle. Tonle is Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, these days to eat fish are produced here. Cambodia has native Khmer, Chinese, and most of Viet Nam, Viet Nam, on living in the Lake, fishing for a living. Tour Tonle ticket is not included in the ticket of 20 knife per person, compared to 3 day ticket, it is quite expensive. Booking with the booking person when Pete what, so we sit on a small point, five were only of 45 knives, half the cost savings, good man! Gateway to Tonle has a narrow river, now is the rainy season, a small boat also open very soon, at some time during the dry season travel said, sometimes people will continue to push the boat. River in the heart of structures on both sides, is in the House on the water, some room here to see a boy tied to one large, this is the water, eating and drinking sleeping all the above, each have a boat for fishing trip. This is a water world, we saw the water inside the shop, with daily; flowers bloom in the bow; every family there is always someone in the hammock, laid-back and plaster, children playing on one side; see floating in a small cage, which has a group of chickens in her food; Korea aid water school children to climb on the desk to climb to break in? bow looking great white plastic bucket is used for holding water, to remove from the specialized areas, and water purification equipment is United States assistance; even here the monks also rowed to the people of the boat in front of the House of the alms. In the way of Pete explanation, cruise ships sailed into the Great Lakes, Lake open, really is endless. Cruise on the Lake, and stopped, the two boats are near. "One dollor" ship's boy, I quickly pulled out colorful lollipop passed in the past, where a boat is not willing to leave, the bow boy pissing on the floor, and suddenly pulled out a snake, hanging in the neck, head of it in my eyes, I flew from her chair jumping out. Husband joking, "not to throw the snake come in now." The boy got notes, leave, depart young age, to earn money easily. Three-day excursion to this end, the feeling that if one more day, some time will be sufficient to run the dense column, you can freely stroll, to experience the local life. Attractions play, say others. 【 Said that children 】, evergreens see in Cambodia are children, large, bright eyes, looks very nice. Suburb on the way, often see 11 second-year-old boy riding a bicycle on the wings of the pedal, the back seat with a 45-year-old baby. In the scenic spot, near of cleaners, there are always several children at play, see visitors taking pictures will fit in with POSE, received the candy always becassocked, gently say thank you. Some of the exit, more scenic spots are crowds of children carnival, and some small arts and crafts, "sister sister, my pretty, buy a bar" said were Chinese. Here's the school only half day courses, because many children to help earn money working at home. Once in the jungle, saw a girl, will be hanging branches as happy to swing, swinging, barren life, also cannot disguise the fact that the nature of happiness. If it is convenient to bring some small gift to them, they will be very happy. 【 Say weather 】, Siem Reap is a tropical, August is the rainy season, basic everyday rain, but rain quickly, stops and fast, just ten minutes. Here's a cool evening, watching the sunrise that sat in the tuktuk little wear short sleeves. The day the Sun is the Sun, but there are many trees in the jungle, the shade is cool. Tuktuk on breeze to cool, not like the city, and blow the hot air that can withstand extreme here, there is absolutely no problem. Of course, as always in movement, sweating is Yes, so IThey are in the hotel at noon, bathing dressing for dinner and rest. 【 Say that health problems 】, mention of Cambodia, is reminiscent of poverty and backwardness, infectious diseases. But don't forget to Siem Reap is a tourist city, from the city, attraction, health status to see absolutely. We didn't eat at the street edge gears, have no voice. But there's toilet cleanliness good surprise, no flies fluttering, no peculiar smell, the ground is also very clean, the vast majority of the tourist spots than domestic is much better, but also quite a number, of course, there is no general attractions, basic ticket in scenic spots. 【 On price 】, USD is the universal currency, Siem Reap everything in US dollar denominated, local currency notes real is used only for the change below $ 1, $ 1 is equal to 4000 Riel. At home you can change some dollars, many small denominations. The catering prices here as imagined so cheap, small drinking bottled water is the cheapest supermarket to near 0.4 knife, scenic area is 1 knife 2 small bottles, fruit is much cheaper, Dragon fruit, Rambutan, develop, many don't know fruit at the supermarket, we bought a lot, because can't take exit, in the Terminal, we also strive to eliminate the bananas. Because the hotel in the country paid money, in Siem Reap local dining, tickets, car rental etc. costs around 150 per person, the whole itinerary tool (including Nanjing to Guangzhou round-trip tickets) per capita of more than, or very worth a visit. 【 Finally say our drivers Pete 】, at on-line searches many recommended patch, with a few email contact, there is a reply. Pete reply soon, price is the lowest, but also in the market, somehow an eye checked his facts prove that we picked the right person. First of all in Siem Reap's three-day trip very reasonable per day has one key project, in the heat of the noon you can return to the hotel not too catch, the key is to avoid the tour groups, so that we can experience a quiet full of magic Angkor. Once you arrive at each spot Pete also take the initiative to tell us the tour inside lines and considerations. Third outer ring we are using a relative's Pete VAN, so in the way Pete began to introduce high foot estates along the way, the foreigners funded free children's Hospital, describes many locals living conditions, visit Tonle introduction to all the way, when a dedicated one. Pete service is also very thoughtful, tuktuk car has a small ice boxes, ice water free, every time when he got off to the attractions are asked us enough, do you want to bring some more. Always remind us when leaving with the ticket, because any time you want to check, you can feel his sincere and heart. The first two days we daily 2 tuktuk, last day is the last VAN, plus the tips there are 130 knife, his service he brought our experience is exceptional value. A few days of coexistence is also a fate, Pete gave us a good memory, and finally in airport waved a bit sad really. Strongly recommend it, go to Siem Reap to play you can find him well, Tel: 812 855 844 17, e-mail: angkorwatpete@yahoo.com.
