Many people know that Cambodia's national treasure Angkor Wat, the largest temple in the world, has been named one of the eight wonders of the world. The tiny town of Siem Reap in Cambodia has attracted countless visitors from around the world to experience the world's most mysterious Khmer smile, thanks to its millennium cultural heritage.
In Siem Reap, Cambodia, in addition to the cheap flights from tokyo to shanghai famous Angkor monument, there is also a cultural heritage hidden in the primitive dense tropical jungle, where the trees and stones are intertwined, dilapidated and desolate, with mysterious and fascinating imperfections, is the most difficult but most worthy place in the remains of Angkor, loved by European and American tourists.
This is the site of a Hindu temple 40km east of Angkor Wat, called the Beng Meeea, the ruined and secretive ruins of a temple that is so deserted and remote that tour groups rarely visit the site, but it is one of the most popular destinations for free travelers.
Here in the eyes of the average person is dilapidated, but by literary and artistic youth is regarded as a mysterious dreamland. Miyazaki's classic film," The City of the Sky," is said to have been based on images that have made many fans nervous, visiting the city of the sky, hidden in the tropical jungle, just to feel the years that have been sharpened.
In fact, when it comes to the history of the collapse, it is still unclear. But according to archaeologists, the collapse was built between the late 11th and early 12th centuries and, like Angkor Wat, was a Hindu monastery founded in Suryavaman II, dedicated to the god Shiva.
The collapsed moat is 1.2 km long and 0.9 km wide, making it comparable in size to the angkor temple, but now the temple has collapsed, overgrown with weeds and tightly wrapped in the jungle. Between the abandoned courtyard and the stone tower, the millennium ancient trees twine with the remnant wall, the relief and the statue have been plundered, but the mysterious atmosphere still pervades the deep forest.
When visitors visit the collapse, they need to climb at all levels, because the trees and the temple are almost integrated, the broken beams and the stumps are scattered askew, submerged in the original jungle, the moss on the stumps and the stone pile, full of the smell of years of fermentation, cannot feel that this place was once haneda to shanghai a temple, but people seem to be in a mysterious jungle, only standing high, see the remnant stone, can probably outline a temple.
Walking in these "random stones ", in all kinds of broken walls and pillars, you can see a variety of exquisite relief, recorded a variety of religious and cultural patterns, although the wind and rain polished, but vaguely can see a variety of wonderful scenes and exquisite carving technology, if there is more time, worthy of careful taste, you can find a lot of surprises.
There are not many people who come here, except for the figure of foreign tourists, almost all the local children. They are like wild elves on this land, some sitting on stone slabs staring at fragmented stone walls in a daze, some climbing to wet stone piles, enjoying themselves, some seeing tourists will beg forward and become a unique landscape.
Nowadays, many places of interest in Cambodia are restored and then opened to tourists. They decided not to make any repairs to keep it authentic and show it to the world. This broken wall, let the towering trees and tiny moss wanton growth, nature and human "wanton interweave ", perhaps this is the reincarnation of life.
