Beng Milie is about 50 kilometers away from Angkor Temple and takes more than an hour by car. Beng Milie was built from the late 11th to the early 12th century, during the reign of King Suyama II, in a style similar to the small Angkor Temple and on a slightly smaller scale. The temple was completely collapsed when it was discovered and repaired, which was extremely difficult. During the civil war, many mines were planted, and it took the Cambodian government eight years to clear the mines since 2003 and open tourism in 2011. Entering the temple through a ramp, the stone carvings on both sides of the ramp have been destroyed, but the statue of a seven-headed faucet is still relatively complete, standing alone on the side of the road. The gate of the temple has completely collapsed, and the doorway is full of slabs and rocks, and visitors cannot pass. The scenic spot has specially built a boardwalk for visitors to visit, enter from the south side gate of the temple, follow this tour route, climb up and down from the ruins, you can see the various parts of the temple interior, and then come out from the south gate. Most of the temple's corridors collapsed, filled with stones, like rows of abandoned trenches. The stone piled up in the main temple was a hill, and the sandstone coffin inside was long stolen and abandoned in a corner outside the temple. Trees in the courtyard grew wild for centuries, with roots and branches wrapped in crumbling gateposts and walls. Only one of the temple's Tibetan pavilions was slightly intact.

    Nowadays, many parts of the temple are collapsed by various factors such as nature and war. If visitors want to go inside the temple, they have to walk on the wooden bridge built by the APSARA national Authority.

    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.
