Chapter 248: Tonle Sap Lake
Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen to visit the National Museum of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, if you want to learn about the history of a country, it is the easiest way to go to the museum to have a look, the roof of this museum is very distinctive, the roof of Cambodia is similar to that of Thailand, it is curled and upturned.
Because of the hot weather, the roof is pointed, and the place that is too hot is on the top, and the bottom is cooler, and there is more rain, so you can slide down the roof.
The brick-red roof, wooden brick-red pillars, look quaint, the museum is an open design, very beautiful, full of exotic flavor.
Zhou Sen has been to Thailand, he took a look and felt that it was a bit similar to the architecture in Thailand, but after a closer look, there were some differences.
Xiao Yang told Zhou Sen that Thailand and Cambodia are very close and that both countries have been influenced by Indian Buddhism.
Zhou Sen also saw that there was a small pavilion in front of the museum, enshrined a statue of a god, surrounded by four artificial lotus ponds, lotus ponds and lawns alternated, with grass beds and benches interspersed, like a series of soundproof walls, blocking the hustle and bustle of the city outside the museum, allowing visitors to enjoy quietly.
Zhou Sen went to see the lotus pond and felt that the lotus pond was still quite beautiful.
Xiao Yang said: "The weather in Cambodia is hot, the lotus is the easiest to bloom, put the lotus here as a decoration, it is still very beautiful, the pink lotus blooms, exudes a light fragrance, with a floral fragrance, it smells very good!"
Zhou Sen took a deep breath and nodded, "The lotus does have a faint fragrance, and when I look at the lotus, I feel happy." ”
The surrounding green meadow, a large area of green, it seems, the mood is even happier, and the surrounding greenery is doing a good job.
Xiao Yang said: "This is the Phnom Penh National Museum, or more important, probably the best museum in Cambodia, the layout is still carefully arranged, there are special management personnel to manage, there are cleaners to keep the surrounding environment clean and tidy." ”
The design of the museum is typical of traditional Khmer architecture, which is very beautiful and generous, especially the high roof in the middle of the house, which looks elegant and exquisite, and is very beautiful.
Zhou Sen said: "I found this kind of pointed roof quite beautiful!"
Xiao Yang nodded, "Yes, such a roof is very distinctive, if you don't build it like this, flatten the roof, but it can't adapt to the weather and climate of Cambodia, it's too hot, you can't stand it in summer, the towering roof can make the side dissipate heat, not so hot, cooler, and more importantly, when it rains, the rain can slide down the roof and drain the rain, so as not to let the rainwater accumulate on the roof, causing mold on it." ”
The museum collects handicrafts and carved artworks from the 4th to 10th centuries and the Angkor Dynasty, and some of the exhibits in it are special statues and bronzes shipped from all over Cambodia, and some are still shipped from Angkor, so it is very similar to Angkor, which can be said to be the predecessor of Angkor, which is very ornamental.
Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen in to take a look, Zhou Sen nodded and praised, and Xiao Yang took Zhou Sen to visit other places.
"Let's go to the Tonle Sap Lake, the scenery is very good, we visited the museum and took a different view. Xiao Yang suggested.
"Okay, you are the tour guide, you lead the way, you are more familiar than me here!" Zhou Sen trusts Xiao Yang very much, after a few days of getting along, Zhou Sen is already very familiar with Xiao Yang, and the two talk happily and get along happily.
Tonle Sap Lake, also known as Phnom Penh Lake, is located in the northern part of Cambodia, in the heart of Cambodia, and is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.
Xiao Yang told Zhou Sen: "This lake is very important to Cambodia because of its geographical location, from northwest to southeast, across Cambodia, and at the city of Phnom Penh where it meets the Mekong River, which runs through Cambodia. ”
"It is like a huge green jade, inlaid on the land of Cambodia, providing a solid resource guarantee for the development and prosperity of the Khmer nation, and is the lake of life for the Cambodian people. ”
"Connected to the Mekong River through the Tonle Sap River, it is a natural reservoir of the Mekong River, and the lake flows into the Mekong River through the Tonle Sap River during the dry season, making up for the lack of water in the Mekong River. ”
When it comes to the Mekong River, Zhou Sen has also heard of it before, this river Thailand and Cambodia have its tributaries, which are very long and have many ships coming and going, and have become a very important waterway for water transportation in Southeast Asian countries.
"When the Mekong River swells during the rainy season, the raging water flows back into the lake through the Tonle Sap River, thus alleviating the flooding of the lower Mekong River. ”
"Apart from the Mekong River, the tonle sap lake is mainly replenished by the surrounding rivers, among which the main rivers are the Sen River, the Silen River, the Munggobore River, the Battambang River, the Pursat River, etc. ”
"Southeast Asian countries are close to the sea, there are many rivers, people's daily drinking water, can also be supplied, fishing, seafood is also a lot, but also enrich the supply of ingredients in these areas, restaurants and restaurants, can buy ingredients from fishermen at a lower price. ”
Zhou Sen nodded, "Southeast Asian countries, water resources are still very rich, I interviewed Mongolia, they are really short of water, and further north is too arid, there is desertification, in contrast, Southeast Asian countries are hotter, humid and rainy, in addition to this shortcoming, it is still suitable for human habitation." ”
Xiao Yang nodded, "The climate of Tonle Sap Lake is very suitable for people to live in, and the annual precipitation is enough to meet people's needs and adapt to the survival of living organisms. ”
"Since the climate of Tonle Sap Lake is divided into dry season and rainy season, it is necessary to pay attention to the change of water level to prevent the river from flooding and washing away people. ”
"The beautiful view of the lake, the large expanses of lush grass growing here, it is a natural sight, pure nature. ”
"Boating in the lake, the rippling water surface, gradually the field of vision becomes so wide, the wide water surface makes people always so relaxed, reporter Zhou, wait a minute, I will call the boatman, let him row over, we will ride together, go and feel it for yourself!"
"Okay!" Zhou Sen stood on the shore, waiting, and after a while, Xiao Yang called the boat, and the rower was an old man, his skin was a little tanned, he often went out on the boat, and most of the people who took his boat were tourists.
Zhou Sen and Xiao Yang got on the boat, and the camera brother Liu Dazhuang also followed, and the old man began rowing.
The sky here is very blue, the clouds are very white, the water is very clear, and it is also a gift from nature to the Tonle Sap Lake.
"We are still very good here, there are a lot of tourists, all come to see the scenery of the lake, people have been in the city for a long time, they need to come to the lake to see the natural scenery, relax. ”
Zhou Sen nodded, agreeing with the boss's opinion.
The old man introduced to Zhou Sen, "We have regular and abundant precipitation, sufficient sunshine time, enough heat, rich products and food, all say that one side of the water and soil, raise one side of the people, I also rely on this lake, to support my family, the more tourists, the more income I have, I count on tourists!"
The old man is simple and kind, a little simple and practical in his speech, straightforward and hospitable, Zhou Sen also likes such a real person.
