BengMealea is not in the Angkor pass range, we chose to string it with the empty Banglu KompongPluk, Ximei to a day trip. Bengmilie is 40 kilometers east of Angkor's monuments. It is highly recommended to try bamboo rice on the road. The glutinous rice is slightly salty, and the sweet coconut juice and red beans are cooked together. It is very delicious. When we came back, we asked the driver to stop and buy it. Near the roadside of the collapse of the column, you can see a large lotus pond. Later, I learned that "the collapse of the column" means "the lotus pond". It is a small Angkor Wat-style temple. The materials used to build this temple were sandstone, so many buildings have been damaged, and it is difficult to be restored. Want to feel the appearance of Angkor was first discovered, here is a wise choice, here is also a film and television works, such as "Tomb Raider". There is a tour guide in the scenic spot to lead you through the rubble, explore the secret, pay no tip is not forced, tip $1 is enough. The tour guides in the scenic spot are very formal, hanging a badge, amiable, if you don't need them to explain, they will not stick to you. Mom's legs and feet are not good, choose to take the boardwalk, my father and I follow a female guide to start climbing stones, some Buddha statues are in the stone pile, do not follow her completely can not see; some still some buildings are wrapped in trees. The pits left behind by the mine explosion can also be seen in the ruins, and war, earthquakes and time have made it what it is now. It is said that the collapsed building will not be restored, the existing wall broken tiles have been reinforced, the collapsed stone wall on the ground will sleep here, to maintain its existing appearance, full of vicissitudes.
