Nirvana Palace was a temple sanatorium and a big hospital at the time. Even today, Cambodians still believe in the magical efficacy of the snake temple. Although the pool has been desolate for a long time, locals still pick plants in the water and take them home for a medicinal bath.
In ancient hospitals, doctors decided which pool you should soak in by judging which disease you have in the soil and water. After Angkor was abandoned, the artificial reservoir surrounding the pool hospital dried up and many trees grew. With the return of humans, the reservoir was put into use again, so the trees died into rows of stumps in the water, which was breathtaking. Ancient times, I needed to row a boat to enter the hospital, and now I have a boardwalk to enter. In fact, after entering, there is not much to see.
Neak Poan temple is a very popular island temple on the large circuit road at Angkor Wat. There isn't much of the temple, and due to the reflection on the lake, it gets *very* hot here. The highlight are the bridge, still waters and mirror image that is created.
The dragon's pond means "the coiled snake", just such a small temple in the middle of the water, under the blue sky and white clouds, the pavilion is beautiful like a pearl in water. Locals still believe in the magical medicine of the snake temple. Although the pool has been desolate for a long time, Cambodians visit the snake temple and want to pick plants that grow in the pool land and take them home for a medicine bath. The large pool (known as the holy pool) is set for the bathing of patients, and the water has dried up.
The Dragon Pool (Nirvana Palace). The Dragon Pool was built during the reign of Yahyamo VII, a project for the benefit of the people. It was a hospital and nursing home at that time. The main building is soaked in the large pool, and there are four small pools on all sides. It is said that the doctor scattered various medicinal materials in the pool. Each pool can treat different diseases. It only needs to bath in the pool to achieve the effect of rickets. To see the Longxi Pool, you must walk through the long wooden plank road and pass through the huge "East Pool". The rural idyllic scenery on both sides of the plank road is very beautiful. There is a sad music from the grass shed by the lake. Some disabled villagers perform in the play and sing. It was also a fundraising charity site for "mine victims".
Nirvana Palace, also known as the Dragon Pool, is said to be a hospital in Angkor, and some say it is a temple for sacrifice. The pool in the dry season is a bit scary, and the overgrown weeds and dead branches make the decaying place more strange. But the rainy season is full of livelihoods, green trees and water pools reflect everything around very beautiful.
[Longxi Pool] (Neak Pean) also known as Nirvana Palace, built in the 12th century, there is a small island in the center of the large pool, there is only a small temple of the stone tower built by imitating the Sumi Mountain, two winding giant snake king (Naga) carved on the stone tower, there is a white horse statue on the east side of the island. Neak Pean means “coiled snake.” The dragonfly consists of five square pools, the largest pool in the center (called the holy pool), symbolizing the ancient Indian mythology of the Himalayas on the Anavatapta, four sides connected to a small pool, and the water of the large pool has to be individually carved through four elephants (the northern dragonfly represents water), Horses (Western for wind), lions (Southern for fire), people (Eastern for soil, originally cattle head), people at that time planted grass at the bottom of the main pool, the pool water rose in the rainy season, the herbs naturally decomposed in the water and became a medicine pool, the potion from the large pool into the small chamber represents the flat grooves of the sag, The water outlet is then flowed out of each water outlet, and there is a lotus seat underneath, and the patient kneels here to treat the disease with herb water. Since the four small pools are said to have different efficacy, the patients are sentenced to different diseases and will follow the instructions to do the potion soaking. The roof above the small pool outlet also engraves images of patients and massages. Zhou Daguan called "Dragon Pool" in "Zhen La Land Notes" as "North Pool": "North Pool in the north of the city five miles, there is a golden square tower, a number of stone houses, golden lions, golden Buddhas, bronze elephants, bronze cattle, copper horses are all there." Disasters make mankind humble, disaster makes large groups expect to save, Saving people towards faith. Longyu is the least built place in Angkor, but its layout contains the most purely ritualistic meaning of faith space. We did not enter the Longyu Pool, and after coming out of the Holy Jian Temple, we were lyrical at the edge of the Longyu Pool ahead. Water is the source of life, is birth, is cleansing, is healing and healing, is blessing and comfort. The best portrait photography point: here, we "wash" together, get treatment, get blessing, get comfort.
