Bayon Temple: A Mesmerizing Journey Through Cambodia’s Ancient Smiling Faces
巴戎寺的点评
点评：If you ever find yourself in Siem Reap, Cambodia, visiting Bayon Temple is an absolute must. I’d heard a lot about the famous "smiling faces" before my trip, but seeing them in person was an entirely different experience. The temple is nestled in the heart of Angkor Thom, surrounded by towering trees and a sense of ancient grandeur.
As I entered Bayon, I was immediately struck by how different it felt compared to Angkor Wat. Instead of vast open courtyards, Bayon feels more intimate and maze-like, with narrow corridors, steep staircases, and sudden openings revealing stunning stone carvings. The massive stone faces staring down from the towers gave the whole place a mystical, almost eerie feeling—like stepping into a forgotten kingdom.
Time Required for Visit: Ideal Time Spent: 1.5 to 2 hours
If you’re just looking to see the main highlights, 45 minutes to an hour is enough.
If you love exploring every detail (like the bas-reliefs and hidden corners), plan for about 2 hours.
It’s best to visit early in the morning (before 9 AM) or late in the afternoon (after 3 PM) to avoid the heat and crowds.
What I Loved :
The Faces of Bayon – The 200+ smiling stone faces are mesmerizing. No matter where you stand, it feels like they are watching you.
The Bas-Reliefs – The detailed carvings along the walls tell stories of battles, mythology, and daily life in the Khmer Empire.
The "Lost Temple" Vibe – Compared to the grand symmetry of Angkor Wat, Bayon feels more rugged, mysterious, and full of surprises.

翻译：如果您有机会来到柬埔寨暹粒，一定要参观巴戎寺。在旅行之前，我听说过很多关于著名的“笑脸”的事情，但亲眼看到它们却是完全不同的体验。这座寺庙坐落在吴哥城的中心地带，周围环绕着参天大树，散发着古老的宏伟气息。
当我进入巴戎寺时，我立刻被它与吴哥窟的不同之处所震撼。巴戎寺没有宽阔的开放式庭院，而是给人一种更私密、更像迷宫的感觉，有狭窄的走廊、陡峭的楼梯，还有突然出现的洞口，里面是令人惊叹的石雕。从塔楼上俯视着的巨大石像给整个地方带来了一种神秘、几乎诡异的感觉——就像踏入了一个被遗忘的王国。
参观所需时间：理想时间：1.5 至 2 小时
如果您只是想看看主要景点，45 分钟到 1 小时就足够了。
如果您喜欢探索每个细节（如浅浮雕和隐藏的角落），请计划大约 2 小时。
最好在清晨（上午 9 点之前）或下午晚些时候（下午 3 点之后）参观，以避开炎热和拥挤。
我喜欢的地方：
巴戎寺的面孔——200 多张微笑的石像令人着迷。无论您站在哪里，都感觉他们在注视着您。
浅浮雕——墙上的精细雕刻讲述了高棉帝国的战争、神话和日常生活的故事。
“失落的寺庙”氛围——与吴哥窟的宏伟对称相比，巴戎寺给人的感觉更加粗犷、神秘，而且充满惊喜。
