Mountaineering, for Zhou Sen is not good, he followed Xiao Yang all the way up the stone steps, for Zhou Sen who interviewed on the flat ground, he still felt a little difficult, in order to complete the interview task, he wore a pair of hiking shoes, non-slip, Xiao Yang grew up in Cambodia, more adapted to the mountains than Zhou Sen, mountaineering is very easy for him, and there is no breathing.

Zhou Sen praised, "Xiao Yang, your physical strength is really good, do you often climb mountains?"

Xiao Yang smiled, "I grew up in Cambodia since I was a child, and my uncle often takes me to climb mountains when he has time, I'm used to it!"

"No wonder, I'm not good anymore, I'm usually busy with work, and lack of physical exercise, the fitness card issued by our unit, I went a few times, I was too busy, I didn't go again, and it was wasted at home. ”

Xiao Yang smiled, "I can understand this, people who work in big cities are usually too busy with work, the pace of life is fast, and there is no time to exercise, climbing the mountain is a bit difficult, but it doesn't matter, we can see the scenery while walking, and we don't have to climb too quickly!"

"Okay!" Zhou Sen smiled, thinking that Xiao Yang, a young man, was very good, easy to talk to, humorous, cheerful and lively, and easy to get along with.

Xiao Yang is also dressed simply, did not wear a famous brand, Xiao Yang said that he does not care about famous brands, as long as he is comfortable to wear, come to Cambodia to live, although the material conditions are not rich, but Xiao Yang's family is interested in living here is natural and comfortable, come here to live for a long time, the surrounding neighbors are familiar, each other can get along with each other warm and friendly, Xiao Yang said that he is used to living in Cambodia, so he will stay in Cambodia to live.

Bakken Hill is a small hill within the main heritage complex of Angkor Wat and is the only vantage point nearby from which elephants can be ridden up the mountain.

I heard that I can pick up an elephant, Zhou Sen is very happy, Xiao Yang saw an elephant team passing by, so he stepped forward to ask the price, and then took Zhou Sen to ride an elephant up the mountain, which is a lot of effort, Zhou Sen is very happy, can ride an elephant, for Zhou Sen, a little fresh, sitting on the back of an elephant, shaking, and the usual feeling of riding a car is different, Zhou Sen feels very novel.

On the hill there is the remains of a Angkor temple, which Xiao Yang introduced to Zhou Sen as the first temple after Yasvaman I began to use the area around Angkor Thom as his capital, and laid the foundation for the later architecture of Angkor.

Wat Bakham on the top of the hill was the center of the first capital built by the Khmer Dynasty to move the capital to Angkor, although it is very old, leaving traces of time.

Wat Bakken is directly opposite the Lorus Complex, which was built on an isolated hill near the ancient capital of Angkor, south outside Angkor Thom, and was originally the center of the capital.

Zhou Sen stands here, looks up, due to the age, has been a little dilapidated, stay here is a witness of history, but also a commemoration, on behalf of Cambodia's previous prosperity and culture, Zhou Sen knows that Cambodia has religious beliefs, people are also very religious, there are many tourists who come here to visit, come to Angkor Wat and visit Bakken Temple by the way.

Influenced by Indian Buddhism, the construction also learned the construction characteristics of Indian architecture, the base is a pyramid-type five-layer, each floor has a tower, layer by layer, extremely spectacular, at the top of the hill can overlook the panoramic view of Angkor Wat, the ancient capital of Angkor and the surrounding scenic spots, is the best place to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Zhou Sen stood here and looked around, and found that Bakken Mountain was red soil, and when the afterglow of the sun shone on Bakken Mountain, the sun was like a warm red pompom, gently emitting orange light.

Looking at the unique charm, standing here, the mood is another, you can feel the vicissitudes and imprints of historical precipitation.

This building, which symbolizes the whole universe, is designed in the mandala style of India, and the temple has lost its former glory after the baptism of time, but the platform at the top of the temple can overlook Angkor Wat from above.

The familiar scenery of Angkor Wat that Zhou Sen has seen is presented in front of him again, climb high and overlook, see more clearly, tourists are endless, riding elephants up the mountain, taking pictures.

After the visit, Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen down the mountain in an elephant team, and Zhou Sen became interested in the elephants and talked with the leader of the elephant team.

"What do you usually give to elephants?"

The team leader will speak a few words in Chinese, "Elephants like to eat young branches and leaves, wild fruits, wild grasses, young bamboo, wild vegetables and other plants. ”

"There are many species of elephants, African elephants, steppe elephants, Asian elephants. ”

"Oh!" Zhou Sen didn't quite understand, "Can you tell us about it?"

"African elephants live in tropical forests, jungles and grasslands, and are widely distributed on the African continent, including Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Ethiopia, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso, Congo and other places. ”

"Asian elephants are found in South and Southeast Asia, as well as in southern China. ”

"Tourists need to go up the mountain to visit, when they can't walk, they can also take our elephant team up the mountain, don't look at the elephants swaying and walking slowly, but they are very enduring, and they can carry a few adult men on their backs, which is still very powerful. ”

"Elephants generally eat young branches and leaves, wild fruits, wild grasses, young bamboos, wild vegetables and other plants, and an adult elephant drinks hundreds of liters of water and eats hundreds of kilograms of grass every day. ”

"Feed the elephant, you are good to it, it will be good to you, animals are spiritual, also have feelings, recognize the master, listen to the master, I speak to them, they can understand, or very well-behaved!" The team leader introduced his elephant team to Zhou Sen, and he was very pleased.

After going down the mountain, Zhou Sen also took a photo with the elephant, the elephant was also very cooperative, with a gentle temper, not afraid of the camera at all, and posed generously, amusing Zhou Sen.
