I went to Siem Reap for three days at the end of last year. I set off from Shanghai and spent 4,000 yuan in total in Siem Reap and other Combodian cities.
去年年末,我從上海出發,在暹粒旅行了三天,還去了柬埔寨的其他城市,一共花了4000元。
I'd had my eye on Siem Reap long after my friends spoke highly of the Angkor Wat temple complex. And it was true! It was bigger than I expected. If you want to appreciate it fully, it might even take one week, but I was only there for two days. But in that short time I was fascinated by its ancient mystery. The temple walls were decorated with delicate frescos reflecting the joint legacies of Hinduism and Buddhism. The most common way to get around Siem Reap is to hop on rickshaws (the locals call them Tuk Tuk), but I ventured out on a bike like many Europeans. It took 45 minutes and I felt so tired.
聽到朋友們對吳哥窟贊嘆不已,我就一直想去趟暹粒。果然不枉此行!那里比我想象的要大得多。若想要盡覽吳哥窟的美景,估計需要一周左右的時間,而我只在那里逗留了兩天。但即便如此,我也已經被那里古老而神秘的氣息深深地迷住了。寺廟墻壁上的精美壁畫彰顯出佛教與印度教的文化。游覽暹粒時最常用的就是人力車(當地人稱之為“嘟嘟車”),但是我卻冒險像很多歐洲游客一樣選擇了騎自行車。我騎了整整45分鐘,感覺太累了。
Best season: November to March
最佳旅游時間:11月至來年3月
