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,我从上海出发,在暹粒旅行了三天,还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.
听到朋友们对吴哥窟赞叹不已,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。若想要尽览吴哥窟的美景,估计需要一周左右的时间,而我只在那里逗留了两天。但即便如此,我也已经被那里古老而神秘的气息深深地迷住了。寺庙墙壁上的精美壁画彰显出佛教与印度教的文化。游览暹粒时最常用的就是人力车(当地人称之为“嘟嘟车”),但是我却冒险像很多欧洲游客一样选择了骑自行车。我骑了整整45分钟,感觉太累了。
Best season: November to March
最佳旅游时间:11月至来年3月
