Tips for Traveling to Angkor Wat What should I pay attention to when traveling to Angkor Wat?

1, considering that the ticket can arrive on the same day, match the flight according to the flight and price of the departure place.

2. Visa

We have a white passport. We bought an electronic visa for 180 yuan/1 person on Taobao. Although I chose a three-day visa, the seller sent me a PDF visa the next day. Print a copy of the entry at Siem Reap Airport. Just one copy will do. To be on the safe side, you can prepare a copy of your passport, visa and personal 2-inch photo and put it in another place (actually, it is not needed at all).

However, the electronic sign needs to consider the place of entry, and flights in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap are no problem.

3. Entry card, exit card and declaration form

On the plane from Guangzhou to Siem Reap, flight attendants will issue entry cards, exit cards and declaration forms, which should be filled out as required. Especially if there is no declaration, you should fill in the declaration form. Someone will ask for a declaration form at the exit after picking up the luggage.

The information on the customs declaration form is basically the same as that on the entry card. If there is nothing to declare, select the "Nothing to declare" option.

4. Departure tax

Now many air tickets include departure tax, so you don't have to pay $25 when you leave the country.

5. the necessities you need to bring

Passport (indicate the validity period)

Signature pen: Entry and exit cards are used to fill out forms.

Introduction: Angkor Wat is rich in reliefs of religions and legends, and there are also many temples. Without a certain understanding, it will not be very enjoyable.

Notebook: Keep accounts and travel experiences.

Anti-mosquito water: the mosquitoes there are still very powerful.

Charger: 220V, double plug (Cambodia has no three plugs).

Dust mask: running on the red soil road by tuktuk car, there is a lot of dust.

Sunscreen and sun hat: The sun is very bright in rainy and dry seasons.

Flashlight: It will be used to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Dollar: a little more.

Candy cookies: Although many people don't recommend giving them to local children, when you pass through some poor villages, you will find that the children here are really more worth giving than the children who directly ask for candy in the scenic spot. They won't ask for anything. If you give him candy, they will put their hands together to express their gratitude, and their happiness will infect everyone. For children in scenic spots, asking for sugar is a common practice, and it is also uncomfortable to ask for money directly. It is better to buy some handicrafts in their hands and let them know that labor is used for reward.

Clothing: Sports shoes and pants are still needed, especially in Angkor Wat. Those who wear shorts above the knee are not allowed to climb the Central Tower Temple.

Medicine: Take some anti-inflammatory drugs, antidiarrheal drugs and band-AIDS.

Swimsuit: There are many hotels with swimming pools in Siem Reap. It will be comfortable to go out for a day and soak in the pool when you come back.

6, Angkor's gameplay

Angkor has dozens of temples large and small. After four days, most of them were a quick glance, which is a pity. If you want to go to Angkor, first of all, you should have a general understanding of Angkor's history and religion, and choose several major temples that you want to visit most. Otherwise, it is impossible to cover everything in ten days and a half, let alone really appreciate its essence.

Angkor Wat Temple has different shapes according to different ages. It is mainly composed of Shenniu Temple, Bakken Temple, Bi Li Temple, Bandie Temple, Angkor Wat Temple and bayon temple. Angkor tourism generally needs to visit the big circle in one day; Walk around one day and watch the sunset on Bakken Mountain at night; One day I will go to Ben Diez, Ray and Ben Billy. If I have time, I will go to Gobin to see the sculptures and waterfalls in the water.

If you don't fully understand and love the history and culture of Angkor, and hope to gain something, I suggest:

When visiting the big circle, go to Bagong Temple and Bi Li Temple to have a good look. Others, such as the Cardamom Temple and the Dasong General Temple, are not too big. In fact, Longzanchi is not interesting. You can't see clearly when you walk across the wooden bridge on the pool.

Angkor's inner circle is the focus. In the early morning, stand by and watch the breathtaking sunrise by the pool of Xiaowuge Cave before dawn. Then, after crossing the stone bridge leading to Wangcheng, you can look at the sculptures stirring the milk sea on both sides and look up at the four-faced Buddha at the south gate in the distance.

When you enter the city, you must go to bayon temple, stay a little longer under the gaze of those mysterious "Khmer smiles" and feel the gods and buddhas all over the sky with you. The top of 49 towers (or 54, I didn't count) are all faces with different expressions. They are serene and upright, which makes people extremely awe-inspiring.

Through bayon temple, you can go to bayon temple, the War Elephant Station, the Palace in the Air and the King's Station to watch. If you are worried about aesthetic fatigue, you can go directly to Tabu Temple, which is the shooting place of Tomb Raider and the result of the struggle between nature and manpower. Carmen, the author of In Full Bloom in May, once said that this wrestling match between nature and manpower is not measured by hours, but by centuries.

Back to Little Angkor, it is the most outstanding and brilliant masterpiece in the whole Angkor monuments. Also known as the "Carved King City". It covers an extremely wide area and is the largest existing ancient temple in the world. The whole building is divided into three floors. The first floor is a deep corridor, and the walls of the corridor are preserved with complete giant murals engraved with vivid and realistic Hindu myths and stories; On the second floor, there are more than 2,000 "Apsara" fairy reliefs and Ana with different shapes. The third floor is the central tower, which represents the center of the universe. It is quite steep, but now there is an artificial ladder in the west, which is more convenient to climb.

Ben Lie and Ben Diez Ray must leave. The collapse will remain as it was when it was first discovered, and all the splendor has vanished, leaving only broken walls and endless reverie. Banteay Srei is a small temple made of pink sandstone, which is famous for its exquisiteness. In the east, there is still a statue of the goddess called Mona Lisa. Complex patterns and enchanting fairies will leave you with beautiful memories.

Gaobuxian is in the deep forest, and some sections of1500m mountain road need to climb between stones, so you can feel the feeling of the French when they were looking for Angkor ruins. There are 65,438+0,000 Lingas carved at the source of the mountain, which means "lighting up" the river. According to the concept of Brahmanism, the water flowing through Lingas is "holy water", which can wash away bad luck and evil, purify the soul and get the blessing of God. Walking along the river, you will see the sculptures on the river, including the images of Rama, Lakshmi and Ha Numan. There is also a small waterfall under the sculpture. There are butterflies flying by the water, and they will stay in your hands, just like fairyland.

7. Diet

The four of us have eaten most of the famous hotels in Cambodia's old market mentioned in the Raiders.

Khmer kitchen is basically 3-4 yuan a dish, the most famous AMORK, only one of the four of us thinks it's delicious, and everyone else thinks it's nothing. All the other dishes are delicious.

Hongqin is really famous and the environment is good. The special flavor of the ancient tomb feels like cold sparkling wine, and the price is not cheap. Free Angkor beer from 6: 00 to 8: 00 is really good, but three glasses are allowed at most. Red piano pizza and red piano pasta are not bad.

Dragon soup We ordered Cambodian hot pot, with meatball soup as the base, vegetables, mushrooms, noodles, fried bean curd skin and beef slices. It's delicious. We drank a can of Angkor beer 1.5 yuan.

There are many kinds of blue pumpkin ice cream, rum is more delicious, and mango is generally. Probably because my expectations were too high, I didn't think it was delicious.

The scenic restaurant, fried rice and the famous LOR LAK beef (I forget how to spell it, fried beef covered with fried eggs) taste quite good. Every dish is 4 yuan, and the four of us happen to be in 20 yuan. We also had lunch in Gaobuxian Scenic Area, which was not more expensive than Siem Reap. It seems that people are still simple, and the scenic spots really don't kill people.

Along the way, we all bought coconuts to drink. The taste is not very sweet, occasionally a little sour, and it is quite thirst-quenching. 1.5 two knives.

Brother Xiao Wu sells brown sugar water, 2000 Cambodian dollars a cup, which is very sweet but a little burnt. You can have a taste.

There is also a baked glutinous rice banana on the roadside of the scenic spot, 1000 Cambodian dollars, which is not very delicious. Bananas are cooked a little sour, and glutinous rice is baked very hard.

We went1end of October 165438+, and the zongzi candy recommended in the raiders was not delicious because it was out of season. So is buttermilk, so we give up tasting.

Mango is the best this season. According to our Tuk Tuk driver, mangoes only bear fruit twice a year. He gave us some from home, which was more delicious than what he bought. And mangosteen, imperial banana and longan are all delicious. Ginseng fruit is so sweet that even noodles are not very popular.

8. Other tourism projects

There is a hot air balloon outside Angkor scenic spot. Stay alone in the air 15 minutes. We didn't sit because we were anxious to watch the sunset. You can take an elephant up the mountain in Bakken Mountain, and each 20 yuan. I heard that there is a kind of helicopter, 95 yuan alone. I don't know how to do it.

9. Handwritten letters

When traveling, I always bring some small gifts to my family and friends. We chose the cool oil with the most local characteristics of Cambodia, which looks simple and lovely. There are also woodcut elephants, bookmarks, key chains and so on, all of which are cheap. I bought a tablecloth with an elephant pattern for my mother. I also bought hand-carved silver cans. Everything else is waiting for you to discover, because we really don't have much time to go shopping.
