Neak Poan is a unique Buddhist temple built in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. The temple is located on a small island in the center of an artificial pond, surrounded by four smaller pools, symbolizing the four sacred lakes in Buddhism. In the center of the main pool is a circular island with a small temple, whose base is carved with two intertwined serpents (Nagas), which is the origin of the name "Neak Poan" (meaning "entwined serpents"). During the Angkor period, this was considered a sacred healing pool, and people believed the water had miraculous healing properties. Visitors need to walk along a long wooden walkway to reach the temple, enjoying views of the pools and surrounding natural scenery along the way. During the rainy season when water levels rise, the scenery becomes even more enchanting.

조금 멀어서 그렇지 깨끗하고 멋진 곳입니다.\n높고 화려하진 않지만 앙코르 왓 사원보다 더 오래 전에 지어진 사원입니다. 시간이 있다면 가볼만 합니다.\n사원 주변도 산책로나 상점, 주차장을 깨끗하게 잘 해놔서 좋아요.\n입장권 필요합니다.

붉은 색 사암으로 만들어진 사원. 사암 위에 새겨진 정교하고 아름다운 조각들. 힌두교 사원. 프놈펜 시내에서 멀지만 꼭 한 번 여행하기를 추천합니다.\n현지인 한국어 가이드의 설명 덕분에 참 행복했던 곳.

建筑很精致,就是坐车有点远,最好坐汽车去。

女皇宫很小,但是雕刻很繁复,门楣的雕刻细腻到像刺绣。有一个门楣中间是Indra,它的座椅是象,天空之神,也掌管水;有一个门楣是两条Naga,分别代表希望和毁灭,卷动乳海。女皇宫门很小,因为希望所有人弯腰进门,表现对神的敬畏,被法国人称为“吴哥的珍珠”,清晨去的时候去庙宇是粉红色的,因为它的建筑石块是玫瑰砂岩,非常美。在这里可以利用门框来拍摄一些有框架的人像。

それ程大きな寺院ではないが、レリーフが細かくて素晴らしい印象。\n東洋のモナリザと呼ばれているレリーフがあるが、近くでは見られず大分離れた場所からとなります。\n\nトイレやお土産屋さんが整備されて、ザ観光地という感じになりましたー
