对与实实在在的的看到，摸到吴哥窟的那份激动和震撼，非一字一句能完全的形容我的
心情！吴哥不单单是停留在历史课本文字上，而是那么真实的在我面前！背后的故事加
上宏伟的建筑，让我们不得不佩服当时的王朝！

对于这一趟吴哥之旅，我们的计划是总是赶不上变化，天气的变化，当场的改变，为我们的旅途带来了许许多多的惊喜。这就是自由行的好处！
第一眼看到吴哥窟和环绕着她的护城河，好壮观，难以想象在十二世纪初在这个山城里，竟然可以建造如此壮观的建筑。那一份震撼的心情是难以形容的！
要到达吴哥窟中殿，就得沿着长长的小径步行！这长长的小径仿佛就好象是在考验信众的毅力方能到达中殿膜拜！
吴哥窟原名为Vrah Vishnulok (意思為“毗湿奴的神殿” ), 后期吴哥王朝深受佛教影响，而改名为 吴哥窟又称为吴哥寺（Angkor Wat） , Wat 在泰语是寺庙的意思。
吴哥窟的建筑布满了精致的雕刻和墙上的浮雕，这些雕刻都深受兴都教的影响！每个雕刻和浮雕都有故事和传说！如有兴趣了解了更多更仔细可以花个一天或两天在吴哥窟里转转！
早期要爬斜斜的楼梯才能抵达第二层的寺庙。据说第二层只供给王室膜拜，平民百信是不可以上来的。 如今参观者不需要爬如此窄小的阶梯，而是有另一个较为宽大但还是蛮斜的阶梯让游客爬上去参观！
前往第二层的寺庙的阶梯共有三十七个，这代表了国王当年共用了三十七年来建造这个寺庙！
从池塘里可以看到吴哥窟五座塔的倒影，这里也是另一个看日出的地点。
游吴哥窟小贴士：
- 穿过膝盖的裤或裙（最好是长裤、裙）以示尊敬
- 一定要涂防晒，太阳非常猛（六月满热的，大概摄氏35度左右)
- 可以请导游，就只是吴哥窟而已，那样可以知道了解更多和知道雕刻的故事。 （价格：USD 15， 吴哥窟外有许多合格导游standby)
- 如要省钱，可以跟着旅行团，悄悄听他们的解说！
- 可以花个四，五个小时在这里走走，看看，拍拍照。
- 我们买三天的票，共四十美金！ （可以在前一天，4:45pm 到柜台买票，那样票就可以多用半天（共三天半），前一天可以先去看日落）

ReplyDeleteGood blog and keep it up.
How many days were you in Cambodia ? Other than Ankor Wat, did you visited other interesting places there ? We plan to go this year but have changed of plan and will instead visit India in September.
Hi Uncle,
ReplyDeleteI spent 8 days in Cambodia. I went to Phnom Phen and Siem Reap. I stayed 2 and the half days in Phnom Phen. Phnom Phen is a big city, i think spend about two days will be far more enough but Siem Reap is worth to spend more days.
Angkor Heritage Site is really awesome and amazing, you can spend about three days especially for those who like to take photo or understand the history & story behind the. Besides Angkor heritage site, if you have time it is recommend to explore the local villages which may take about 30 minutes to one hour drive from the town. I visited my Tuk Tuk driver village and also have chance to visit the school, really can notice a big different between town and the villages. The Siem Reap town is over-commercialize and flooded with tourists, so we cant really see the local living or culture.
Indeed, Cambodia trip is really a good experience to visit the Angkor heritage site and get to know the local and visit the villages and school.
Waiting more updates about your coming India Trip. =)
