The miracle of Kampuchea city Angkor Wat mystery of the Khmer smile

Since a year ago and friends traveled a total of Kampuchea, Angkor beauty has been lingering in my mind, the thought that won't come in this I think is the most beautiful place in the world, and in August of this year I had to stand in the Angkor in front of Wangcheng. For me, travel is a perceptual factors dominate things, so one year apart personal circumstances of different lead directly to focus and perspective change journey. Add to this belongs to the corporate travel, traffic travel problems do not have to consider their own, this also gives me the opportunity to round some last unfinished journey, previous attempts before the angle to observe the city of miracle.

In Angkor, time is not as in the case of Beijing rapid carve throughout the city of Angkor, the huge historical sites did not change a little bit in this year, and even then the Angkor Wat gate location of green construction with scaffold is completely the same as last year, and Ta Prohm temple door repair engineering also seems to be a years ago without any progress. So, a time still give the illusion of people here, if a few years back, found the same place with the same motorcycle, the same way with the same small pit pit.

Roadside squat landmine victims beggars are still before the familiar face. In a word, Angkor is Angkor, time will ever forget it, even now to think up, also not deliberately attention here, I want to also is one of this kind of slow rhythm and here the original ecology of the immutable and frozen the biggest charm and characteristics.

The company to arrange the hotel in the last side hotel, but the level was much higher, have a beautiful garden and swimming pool also has a courtyard garden hotel, delicate, fountains and air gate. Because of this special travel the whole car shuttle, so even the peak is in the rainy season has nothing to worry about, and at any time the air condition can be more comfortable than last time.

Enter the Angkor didn't take Wangcheng long to see Ruqierzhi monkeys, Angkor's visitor density around the world is still high, the monkeys could have been so prosperous offspring that local government has made considerable efforts to protect environment, colleagues also explained that in the deep Hindu heritage, and has a population of 90% Buddhist the belief state, the animal is the extraordinary tolerance and love.

Bayon (Bayon) is the first of the attractions, special attention around the walls of the numerous bas-relief, the difference is that here with the Angkor Wat, Bayon is the keynote of Jayavarman VII on his own merit and the prestige of the praise, while Angkor Wat is more in the worship "Vishnu" is later Buddhism the simian fo. Bayon to meet the great king of narcissism, but also reflects the heyday of the majesty of the Khmer Rouge, process is more important here represents the Kampuchea transition from Hinduism to Buddhism, Kampuchea here is the most important, the largest Buddhist temple.

In fact, it was originally a dedicated to Hindu supreme God "Shiva" Hindu temple, later because the war destroyed, and later by Jayavarman VII king to expansion renovation into a Mahayana Buddhist temple. So interesting is, here also can see the decoration style and character of traditional Hinduism, and can see through the religious element layers of processing and changed by the Hindu further into buddhism. Shallow relief here very image and marketplace, many subjects are people's life scenes, including weddings and funerals, or sleep, anyway, as long as it is related to aspects of life, even the marriage and children are exquisite carving on the wall.
