Wander in Angkor red land

If you said some years ago, Laura in the tree before telling secrets, so I have to Angkor unlimited longing, a few years later, when I actually set foot on the red sand land, in the dense tropical rain forest in large and small, complex of different styles, I feel that is unprecedented in shock.

In the back of the plane, I could browse the photos, it would be interesting to say on Angkor feel, but cannot find a suitable language but a wish to use text to record this wonderful feeling impulses, it prompted me over and lift the pen, write a string of text.

Carved in stone by Brocade

Flying to Angkor in the plane, I always hold the Chiang Kai-shek, those wonderful <吴哥之美> carved photo again attracts my eyes, I imagine, that would be what kind of stone, in the hard stones carved out so fine cumbersome patterns. However when I really live in pink girl before, one Palace of fairy tales, life-show in the eyes, as refined slowly expanded fine Brocade, Shiva, wet the Nuba, the Monkey King, five-head, fairy .... the wind flowing skirt, frequent galloping arms, leading to the fine as hair, teeth like follow passers-by eyes .... like roaming in India, heard in the epic one tale of the supernatural-bucket, eyes, ears and drunk drunk, and drunk ...

Angkor VAT in up to 800 meters of wall paintings, is twilight reflect a gold plated, people seem to be the magnificent palaces, a glimpse back into the thousands of years ago by the Khmer Empire, the wall is the flow of fairy tale, the churning of the sea of milk, stirring a flower, beautiful, eternal holy water, the devil and God each hold half dragon slave than wet, in God's judgment, the force pulling churning of the sea, rivers and. breast milk into the soul of Angkor, appear in Angkor Wat gate, walls ... even in the distant avalanche mealea ruins stone heap is also exposed to stunning corner. This is how powerful, Magic Kingdom.

BA Rong Temple stupa, 52 respecting four hundred stars look different Buddha head, as if looking at Angkor Millennium of history, the time in front of them seemed to be stalled, Khmer smile, so peaceful, quiet, he laughing room 100 State? I walk through between the Buddha head, touching every touch to the sculpture, along a narrow corridor, a steep ladder, as if to wander in the history of slit. perhaps several years later we have no chance so close to history.

Clock Tower, as its name suggests group like support long desk, ancient Khmer King's parade, where King greets a victorious soldier, in the quiet stone elephants, like the wind coming from the array like array whole footsteps, soldiers of slogans .... along the 800-metre long desk, I imagine that the heyday of the Angkor Empire, the gold window, dancing-fan, Kings and Ministers, with silver handle umbrellas, the beautiful Princess sitting soft pedal, skirt flying. the elephant and the divine bird lifted high clock tower, as examples of the entire Kingdom in the sky.

Tree and Temple of harmonious coexistence

Tower Suprun Temple, a veritable "tree Temple", a seed falls into the huge gaps, for thousands of years later, the large trees with thick root embrace stupa, veranda ... .., fairy in the root of the gaps in his beautiful look, tree and Temple harmony as a whole.

In the ruins of the shuttle that is in the jungle Shuttle, suddenly felt the tree and the temple was so harmony one, as if they never separated.

The same harmony is 100 miles of dense column ruins, scale as ambitious as Angkor temples, grueling Millennium, the main tower is of course no deposit, Boulder, the gate is completely blocked only from the collapse of many imagine at Boulder City gate magnificent appearance, also falling in place of the fence and veranda, generally can estimate the temple covers and scale this morning to Angkor Wat, the mess that Suliman King built a monastery, although not so beautiful, Angkor Wat, the thick lines of building it and jungle so harmonious, tree likewise hold monasteries, towers, walls, watching the portico, common worship of God.

They all do the battlefield, tree Temple in Laura's film, the Khmer Rouge was indeed do this as guerrilla warfare, huge rocks big gun eyes, was fire smoked fence, history tells of the war-trance I could see the ruins of Boulder-dodge the bullet of a warrior, hear bullets deadlines.i pierced the sky voice ....

Intoxicating sunset

Always heard that Angkor sunset how beautiful, I can't understand. Sally Lake in the hole, a minute of time, see the Sun fall Lake glance, I was anxious to see the mountain nesbakken Board heard the long-awaited divine sunset. However seemed to test my sincerity, overcast all day, covered with clouds of flake, whenever the Sun to reveal a warm light, a cloud to catch up with it, as if they were playing hide-and-seek, racked my heart but I still follow the locals say, 5: 10 ascend the mountain nesbakken, chose one of the best locations waiting may not appear in the sunset, however strange it is that one to 5: 30, Sun immediately from a piece of thick clouds of light after a lock, then increasing the light, dark clouds were on Phnom Penh, black clouds and surface between a white sky like a curtain, Sun curtain slowly falling, golden sunlight the white curtain dyed red gold, gradually disappeared with the light of the sun into a red ball, began to fall to the ground, one minute away on the horizon, only light to near the red sky of the distant sky on gold, like a superstar left after the Fireworks, all gone, people began to applaud and cheer ...

When the five minutes later we are on the way back down the mountain shook the mesmerizing sunset, is almost impossible to argue winding mountain road. Earth is really fast!

Simple TUK-TKU drivers

Dong with his white POLO cap appears in front of us is leaving Angkor's Eve, in the ancient buildings of Angkor and the number of days in the cruising, and suddenly want to experience the modern of Angkor.

Dong happened to become our TUKTUK drivers. Through the streets, to famous pub street. Dark gray building suddenly become attractions, leisureOf the gate in the café, pub, drink and chat sitting …. so we very wayward to change the plan, the decision here eat around there, very late and then back to the hotel, but we deliberately, Dong, we go from East to West, although we confused direction refers to the wrong way, he murmur, back to the hotel door, I asked Dong, we it how much, and thought he would be a lion big mouths, Dong shy smile, that's still a Concierge early high price 7 v. I. When we pay 10 knife, he moved to almost speechless, this is how simple national Ah, a little bit small kindness to let them so happy and satisfied.
