The last attraction in the afternoon is to go to Donglisa Lake to watch the sunset. Because it is still early to watch the sunset, it is not late to the lake at about four o'clock. The general cruise time for the lake is two hours. The driver Xiao Du took us to the pier and helped us buy the ferry ticket for $40 for two people, the same price as the empty Banglu. When we boarded the boat, we found that there were only three tourists on the boat. The cruise ship was converted from a small wooden boat by a fisherman. There were several wooden chairs in the cabin, a sunshade on the top, and a tractor-style engine was installed on the stern. The boss of the boat was two 15- or six-year-old children. The two children were skilled in sailing and the boat was very fast. Both sides of the pier are all high-rise houses on the water. This is the famous water village ─ Fucun. The water system here is actually one of the many lakes in Donglisa Lake. The lakes are all local Cambodian residents. The boat left the pier, and there were fewer houses in the floating village. The water was also getting wider and wider, and from time to time, fishermen could be seen returning from the opposite side. It was said that bags of the boat were full of cockroaches. Some bare patches of land in the water were still farmed by farmers. The boat was heading deep into Lake Donglisa, and there were no cruise ships around, and houses appeared on both sides of the junction where the ship would enter Lake Donglisa, where it was said that people who lived here were coming from Vietnam to make a living, and this was their gathering place. This is the new home of these people, where you can see the boat house shops, boat house market, boat house school. After passing the boat house area, you have entered the wide waters of Lake Donglisa, which is endlessly like a calm sea, and the lake is shining with sunlight. The boat anchored in the lake, we are here to wait quietly for the arrival of the sunset time, looking forward to seeing the sunset and sunset. The boat swayed in the water like a cradle, and the two boat bosses jumped into the lake to swim in the heat. Expectations are always higher than reality, the last process of sunset is a dark cloud across the sky, seriously affecting the photo effect. Although it is not perfect, I still see the sunset view of Lake Hole Sa, and I always have a little regret when I am excited. The sun was setting, and we returned while it was not all dark. Looking back at the water on the pier, it is also a beautiful picture of the scenery, the boats in the water, the fences on the pier, the high-footed houses in the water and the twinkling starry lights have a mysterious and tranquil feeling against the twilight.

    Lake Tonrisa, also known as Phnom Penh, is located in the west of Cambodia and is long-shaped in the heart of Cambodia. It is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. The lakeside plain is flat and broad, 500 km long and more than 110 km wide, northwest to southeast, across Cambodia, and the Mekong River crossing in Phnom Penh and Cambodia.

    By boat, we reached the first big lake in Southeast Asia through the Yellow River Siem Reap River. Although it is the dry season, the lake is still vast. Vietnamese floating village is the magical existence of this lake. Because Cambodia prohibits Vietnamese people from building houses on land, they simply build houses on the water. The houses on the water form a village~ there are restaurants, shops, schools, churches, temples, power stations and other floating water~ there are small vegetable dumplings and chicken and duck cages floating on the water~ various boats passing through a large area of floating village houses on the water can be regarded as the most intentional in Donglisa Lake The humanistic landscape of thinking ~

    If you haven't been to Lake Tonlisa, you can say you haven't been to Cambodia. Of course, it's exaggerated, but it's true. There are "refugees" that the governments of Vietnam and Cambodia do not care about. It's also a reflection of Cambodia's relatively backward living conditions. But the impoverished "Vietnam Floating Village" has the most touching sunset, sitting in the bow waiting for the sun to fall into the lake, feeling a thousand.

    First, there are no mosquitoes. Second, there was no landing so there was no selling or forced massage. We arrived at 4:00 p.m., still very hot, first small boat and then big boat, it is estimated that the reason for separate operation is to pass through the villagers'houses, rows of very strange, different sizes, scattered uniformly, little boys are playing diving, little girls are rowing or washing clothes, this is the real life, maybe the lake is not clean, but this is their home, where they play and live, the sunset is very beautiful. Why is it that no one wrote a journey back, no sun, no light along the river, a 25-minute boat journey back is really thrilling ___________ The dark clouds above our heads are gradually invisible, and the surrounding scenes are getting darker and darker. On the left is a distant lightning, on the right is a low bush, and the surrounding River reveals the crisis of undercurrent surging. There is nothing but the flashlight of the boatman shaking to guide the course. When the boats behind us surpass us, they become more and more panicky. Otherwise, they can be seen again when they are better. Really panic, chaotic head, whether it will rain, whether there will be water monsters, whether the boatman will rob.................................................. More than 20 minutes of silence, until the distant light appeared, everything became reassuring The boat family was very good to send us ashore, and the thrill of the return trip was much more exciting than the three or five minutes of pirate boats in the playground. It's really wonderful to have a pleasant journey, a thrilling return journey and two feelings on the same road. It's unforgettable in this life.

    Siem Reap, Cambodia. The last stop in the outer circle must be in the afternoon to catch up with the sunset on the lake, which is more beautiful than Mount Bacon. Tickets of $20, is the cost of a large ship, basically do not fight, special boats, large ships from the wharf, a quarter of an hour in the river, will pass through a large area of water villages, and then reach the entrance to the lake. Change the boat for $5. Specialized women boatmen paddle hard to the forest. After ten minutes in the water, they go to the lake and change back to the boat. By 6 p.m., the boat will take you to the lake, stop on the lake, turn off the motor, then you can sit on the bow and watch the sunset quietly. Donglisa Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. The whole trip lasts three hours and is worth visiting.

    The sunset in Donglisa Lake is really beautiful. It is like a huge topaz, inlaid on the land of Kampuchea, providing solid resources for the development and prosperity of the Khmer nation. It is the "lake of life of the Kampuchea people"...

    Donglisa Lake is indeed a different existence, completely different from the main melody of Angkor we are going to visit next, which is a water village near Siem Reap. We went in April, the last month of the dry season, and the driest time of Donglisa Lake. There was only a narrow river running between villages. What remained in the river was not Lake water, but yellow mud. The dwellings in those villages, which were originally supported on the lake by long trunks, now seem to be dwellings on land, even roads. Dumbbell-shaped Tonle Sap is Cambodia's most prominent feature and the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. In dry season, the lake area will shrink to 2,500 square kilometers; in rainy season, it will increase to 12,000 square kilometers. The floating villages on the lake are inhabited by thousands of fishermen's families, each family will have 5-7 children, which constitutes a unique and vivid human landscape on Lake Donglisa and also attracts a large number of tourists. More than half of Cambodia's annual fish production comes from Lake Tonlisa.
