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.
他の遺跡に比べると小ぢんまりしている印象だが、それが女性らしさを増幅させている。「アンコール美術の至宝」と賞賛される所以だと思う。中でもデヴァターの彫像は「東洋のモナリザ」とも呼ばれていて実際のモナリザより美しいと思った。
