Chapter 257: Travels in Siem Reap

Xiao Yang introduced to Zhou Sen, "We Chinese are still familiar with Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and I would like to introduce Siem Reap in Cambodia. ”

"Okay, we have also heard about Siem Reap, but we are really not familiar with it, and I believe that many viewers and friends in China are also full of freshness about this city!"

Xiao Yang smiled, "Then I will introduce it to you, Siem Reap tourism is developing rapidly, thanks to the fact that this is one of the seven wonders of the world Angkor monuments gateway, Siem Reap is an important stop to visit Angkor monuments, has a history of 100 years, travelers from all over the world are admiring it, tourism is also booming, in addition to going to Thailand, tourists will also choose to travel to Siem Reap." ”

"Angkor Wat is very famous, it is the most famous attraction in Cambodia, listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Cambodia's land and water hub Tonle Sap Lake is also a good place to go, from here you can take a boat tour, you can see the surrounding scenery, but also see the Cambodian simple traditional way of life. ”

"Cambodia is the most beautiful scenery, or retains some beautiful scenery, and the history is also long, old, some attractions due to the age, looks a little old, but retains the characteristics of Cambodia, water people, watch the sunset cruise ship and bird habitat have a lot of attractions, as well as Longpan Pool, this attraction, I also introduce by the way, is also located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. ”

"I'll take you to visit, it's very distinctive, and it's really different from our domestic pool!"

"Okay, I'd love to take a look!" Zhou Sen also felt very curious, very fresh, this feeling and experience was unprecedented, and it was not the same as when he went to interview Thailand before, although the two countries are neighbors and are very close, but each country has a different history and culture, and the customs and habits are similar, but different.

There are many Chinese tourists who travel to Thailand, and domestic audiences are more familiar with Thai attractions, Zhou Sen feels that domestic audiences are still relatively few to Cambodia, so I can introduce it so that more Chinese can know more about our old friend Cambodia.

In Zhou Sen's impression, the countries with the most iron relations with China, Russia, Belarus, Pakistan, Cambodia, these neighboring countries, are really iron buddies to China, whenever China is in trouble, these iron buddies, good friends and countries will lend a helping hand, which is inseparable from China's usual help to them, China's assistance to these countries is very much, friendly exchanges with each other, true feelings for true feelings, and formed a valuable friendship.

There are other countries that are also friendly to China, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Iran, Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Turkey, Sudan, Japan, South Korea, India, etc.

Listen to Xiao Yang's introduction, the Longpan pool was originally a temple sanatorium, and the large pool in the middle has a small pool in each direction, and the water of the large pool flows into the small pool through the spouts of the sculptures in four aspects.

Zhou Sen stood and watched for a while, but he didn't see it, so he asked Xiao Yang for advice, "Is there anything special about this?"

Xiao Yang nodded, "There are different directions, the north is the elephant, which represents the water, the east is the man, which represents the earth, the south is the lion, which represents the fire, and the west is the horse, which represents the wind." ”

Cambodians think that there is a kind of herb that is very spiritual, and the bottom of the big pool is full of herbs with medicinal properties, and when the rainy season comes, the water in the pool rises, and the medicine will flow into the small pool. ”

"The potions that are diverted into small pools have different effects, so according to the different conditions of each person, the patients are arranged in different pools. ”

"Of course, that was a long time ago, and this attraction got its name, and now it is no longer arranged for patients to come here for treatment, but it has become a famous attraction for future generations to visit. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "It's quite interesting!"

He circled around the pond and looked at the pond before following Xiao Yang away.

Xiao Yang accompanied Zhou Sen to walk on the street, Zhou Sen looked at the surrounding scenery, came to Cambodia to interview the feeling is indeed different, Cambodia retains a lot of simple street scenes, the center of the city still retains the fascinating rural style, old-fashioned French shophouses are lined with trees on both sides of the street.

"I didn't expect there to be old-fashioned French shophouses here, too?"

"Yes, many countries are optimistic about Cambodia's development prospects, and have increased their investment in Cambodia in recent years, and there are still many undeveloped places, so they have attracted many investors to invest here. ”

Siem Reap's town center and surrounding villages have preserved Cambodian customs, and the streets of Siem Reap are lined with rows of trees, showing the charm of Southeast Asia.

"It's still a bit similar to Thailand!" Zhou Sen sighed, Southeast Asian countries, there are some similarities, such as religion, such as food, such as living habits, or have obvious characteristics.

There are many temples and they are arranged differently than other temples, and unlike Agra, where the Taj Mahal is located, Siem Reap's cosy atmosphere and facilities may make you linger here after your temple tour, so it is impressive.

Tourists don't have to worry about getting lost while shopping, as the Siem Reap River divides the city center into two parts from north to south, there are many bridges that cross the Siem Reap River, and the roads are very recognizable.

"Cambodia's food is still delicious, although the economy is backward, people's yearning and pursuit of food has not changed, and they will still come up with various ways to make food!" Xiao Yang told Zhou Sen.

Zhou Sen nodded, "Well, it's really delicious and distinctive!"

"It's also very good to visit the Tonle Sap Lake, there is another mountain near Siem Reap in the northeast of the Goddess Temple, called Lychee Mountain, and there is a big waterfall in the mountain stream, so many locals like to come here on weekends to relax and play, and you can see a larger number of carvings in the river near the mountain," said Xiao Yang. ”

Zhou Sen nodded, "Well, we've been there before, and we've seen a lot of carvings, which left a deep impression on me!"

"I will take you to the silk garden to visit Xia, it is also very good, I think this is the characteristics of Cambodian silk, our Chinese Silk Road, also affected Cambodian silk, everyone knows that our Chinese silk is of good quality and soft texture. ”

Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen to visit and learn about all the processes of silk making, from picking mulberry leaves to the final finished fabric, Zhou Sen also agreed to try to make silk himself, which was a very good feeling and experience for him, he had not made it himself before, it felt interesting and fresh, Xiao Yang told Zhou Sen that silk souvenirs could be bought in small shops in the silk field.

"When these goods are sold, they can increase the income of local silk workers, just as we have seen before increase the income of fruit farmers!"
