The Bapuang Temple in Tongwang City is located about 200 meters northwest of the Bayon Temple. This building is very majestic and existed before the construction of Tongwang City. Since most of the temple buildings have collapsed, there are not many carvings left in the temple, and the many stones may give you a deep impression of it. From the Bayon Temple, there is a 200-meter long walkway leading to the Bapuang Temple, which is supported by three rows of circular low stone pillars. There is a cross-shaped pavilion in the middle of the aisle, and there are ponds on both sides of the aisle. You can see the classic water reflection landscape in Angkor monuments. In the rainy season, walking on the walkway full of water on both sides will give you a feeling of walking in the water. Before arriving at the temple, there were thousands of stones that originally belonged to the temple building, and they could no longer be restored. Looking up at the temple, the pyramid-shaped Mount Sumeru Temple consists of three layers of platform bases, which are very high and the stairs are quite steep. It is conceivable how devout pilgrims were at that time. The stairs before and after the main tower are closed, and visitors need to take the newly built wooden escalator on the side to climb, which is also very steep and can be used with both hands and feet. There is a closed cloister on each plinth of the temple, and there are towers in the middle and four corners of the four sides of the cloister. Climbing up to the top, you can see a small stone pagoda, which used to be the golden copper roof of the Ba Puang Temple, but now it has been damaged beyond recognition. There are four hollow stone gates on the top of the stone tower, which is fascinating. The stone tower is forbidden for tourists to climb, so you can only watch it from here. Standing on the top floor of Bapuang Temple and watching the surrounding scenery, it is very enjoyable. Looking down, you can also see the hundreds of stone pillars in the temple that used to support the causeway, but the causeway no longer exists. Going down from the top floor, walking to the back of the temple, looking up, there is a reclining Buddha with a length of more than 70 meters and a height of 9 meters on the parapet of the second-floor platform, which is very rare in the ancient ruins of Angkor. This was built later when the Ba Puang Temple was transformed into a Buddhist temple. Unfortunately, most of them have collapsed or have not been completed, and it is difficult to see its overall appearance and demeanor. The head of the reclining Buddha is on the north side of the wall, while the positions of the arms, legs, feet, etc. require you to continue to imagine and guess.
Baphuon temple is an impressive pyramid-style structure a hundred meters from The Bayon. It has perhaps the steepiest, scariest stair climb in the entire Angkor complex, so be careful, and perhaps avoid going up it on a rainy day. Well worth visiting anyhow.
The Bafang Temple is one of the most spectacular temples of the Angkor dynasty in its heyday. It is called the world's largest and most complex building. It is built on a huge square stone base, the thickness of which is the most Angkor.
The temple built by Jehovah II, narrow steps, steep cliffs. There are warning signs at the highest point, and climbing is not allowed. I saw a European and girlfriend waving hands, climbing up, and being taken down by the staff who caught up below. Going under a awning and being questioned, not knowing the consequences.
Bapuang Temple is next to Bayu Temple, the monkeys here are quite fierce, grabbing things, turning over food, catching people...
Next to the Barong Temple, there is also a Papuen Palace. The guide passed by and asked us whether we would like to go to the scenic spot for 15 minutes, but it was the biggest shock of the trip. After half a day's hot summer baptism, only 4 people insisted on getting off to see him. Bapuon Baben Palace (Bafuen) is located in the northwest of Angkor Thom's Greater Angkor City. This huge temple hill was built in 1060. Udayadityavarman II is a national temple dedicated to Shiva God. According to Zhou Daguan's "Zhenlafeng Tuzhi" records, this tower is higher than the Golden Pagoda (Bayon Barong Temple). There are more than 10 inner rooms on the ground floor. The Palace of Papun is built on a huge square stone base, the thickness of which is the largest of Angkor's ruins. There are numerous stone building materials scattered around the base and on the stone platform. According to the tour guide, the French helped to repair the palace for 15 years before it was today's size, but the 15 minutes left to me were really just a quick glimpse. But it was this quick glance that shocked me more than the little Angkor and Baron temples. It was a heavy blow from the bottom of my heart. I went into Paben Palace and heard the music of Buddha and God. This palace is too thick and thick.
Bapuan Temple is located about 200 meters northwest of Barong Temple. This magnificent building used to be the center of Tongwang City, even before it was built. There is a 200-metre-long pavement leading to the Temple of Papuon, with ponds on both sides. You can see the classic water reflection landscape in Angkor Monument.
Bafang Temple is known as the largest and most complex three-dimensional building in the world. Bafang Temple is an unexpected surprise. This temple is not the grand perfection of Angkor, nor the unique shock of the Barong temple. It is surrounded by the jungle. It is not small in size. Its incomplete beauty is pure, which makes me linger and forget to leave. Instead of thinking about time and history, we need to look through our eyes and enjoy pure artistic beauty. Tips - "1, climbing Bafang Temple, dress requirements, bare shoulders, bare knees above the legs are prohibited climbing, please pay attention to their own outrigger. 2. Can only climb wooden stairs, relatively steep, but not too high, carefully hold the railings, climbing up does not consume much energy. Keep in mind that you must climb the top. You have a good view and beautiful scenery. 3. The Bafang Temple still faces east. After entering from the east, there is a 200-metre-long participating road. If you like photography, it's a good angle to go down to the bottom of the road or take photos around the opposite side of the pond road. 4. Go as early as possible. Most corridors do not have roofs because they cannot be completely repaired. There are few places to shade them. Near noon, they will be exposed to the sun and affect their mood. 5. Bafang Temple has relatively few visitors, a simple background and green trees, which is very suitable for portraits. Beauty-loving students need to get up early, and only when the sun is soft can they have a beautiful sunshine. We all went late. We knew it was so beautiful, so we didn't sleep late.
