Before you go, I have been thinking,KampucheaWhat is a place? Who understand it would answer: not that Buddha country. Of course, there are 95% of people believe in Buddhism, from ancient times to the present, in this ancient country, Buddhism culture everywhere.
Angkor Wat the huge four-faced Buddha statue, is a symbol of Kampuchea; the one with a serene smile of the Buddha as a typical Khmer face, even if you do not understand Kampuchea, you don't know the Siem Reap, but the mention of Angkor Wat world - famous "Khmer smile", you will see light suddenly.
However, in my eyes it is Kampuchea, with many faces of the magic kingdom.
In addition to brilliant magnificent Angkor Wat temple, streams of people busily coming and going of the capital Phnom Penh, hundreds of kilometers of unpolluted beaches, Great Mekong River, it has the same everywhere visible poverty and chaos.
In Beng Mealea, I was surrounded by a group of children entangled for tips and unhappy. But soon found the appropriate comfort: simply toTravelingHere, perhaps is not the world's most advanced destination, however, is not it a brilliant history and regrettable situation, in stark contrast to the poor local people and tourists to become rich, just let the country becomes infinite charm? To truly understand this country, we need to be patient.
When you realize this, Kampuchea became a whenever and wherever possible to have a surprise, a good place for both adventure and vacation. Because it is like a key, the window of your heart open for a moment.
Beng Mealea: in the Millennium ruins. "Pandora" planet of the mysterious
BackpackTravelingThe biggest advantage is can walk freely, take some unconventional route. For ordinary tourists, is located in the courtyard and tower abandoned, the trees of Beng Mealea is really too lonely, just because of this, most travel agents are not list it in the conventional way, if you are with the mission, or leave it.
Beng MealeaThe distance between Beng Mealea and Angkor monuments, 40 km to the East, in paving road before, it is hard to reach places. In order to save time, we chose the car to come here from the main area of angkor. This is full of mysterious atmosphere of the temple built by Sulye rajendravarman II, still maintained the basic was found intact. Beng Mealea in a few years ago spread across a minefield, until the 2007 mine before becoming safe spots.
After a careful study of it is not difficult to find, now the Beng Mealea like the explorers found the way: the collapse of Angkor temple is serious, shade trees, no way. Local people told me, to build the temple was originally used by the material is sandstone, with a large number of tropical trees from the building of the gap, gap is the stone out of the way, the palace had collapsed, or root package to shake and crumble, exquisite stone carvings or from trees surrounded his corner, or already fell to the ground broken, is difficult to be restored.
But even so, don't worry about lost at play here, the local children will hold your hands, tell you how to pass through this piece of great ruins. In the thousands of years of the ruins, I saw in the movie "Afanda" in order to see the scene: the children all like we to be very careful careful avoidance of moss, the trees, the stairs as a toy, the needs of tourists around a bend to reach places, they easily from the head down to another head using strong branches.
