Taplan Monastery is a famous ancient building. According to textual research, it was built by Gaya Warman VII in 1186 in memory of his mother. Approaching Tapulun Temple, a tall four-sided Buddha stands facing it. When I enter the outer door, I can't see any historic sites. It feels like I'm walking into a dense forest, and the space is filled with light music, which is the voice of the band of disabled people playing in the shade of trees. Walking through a dense forest, you will find the hidden Temple of Tapulun. In fact, when it was discovered by the French in the 19th century, many of its palace walls and Gates had been enclosed by giant trees. In order to avoid further damage caused by pulling out the ancient wood, later generations also preserved these intertwined giant trees as part of the history of the temple. Now when you walk into the temple, you can still see the roots of what the local people call the Kapok, which go around the beams and columns, the cracks in the rocks, the eaves, the doors and windows. It is a profound insight into the subtle relationship between nature and man-made, which not only competes with each other, but also depends on each other.

    Ta Prohm is a "must see" for all visitors to Angkor. However pretty much every tourist - foreign or local who comes to the archeological park comes here, and as it is not so big, it can get insanely busy - sometimes lines of 20 people waiting to have their photos taken. Come either in the first half hour after it opens (7:30~8am) or the final half hour before it closes (5~5:30pm), and it is significantly quieter.

    King Gaya Walman VII ruled Zhenra from 1181 to 1201, about fifty years old when he took office, and in 1186, in memory of his mother, he ordered the construction of the Taprun Temple. It was a temple with high priests, priests, dancers, and a temple and a monastery.

    Tapuren Temple, located southeast of the Shengli Gate of Tongwang City, Angkor Wat, was built by the ancient Khmer king to sacrifice his mother, also known as the "mother temple". For more than a thousand years, the buildings of the Taprun Temple have gradually been entangled in the jungle by the huge roots or branches, torn apart, opened... forming a wonderful blend of you and me and you.

    There are many god trees in Tablong Temple in Cambodia. I heard from the tour guide that this is because the climate in Southeast Asia is relatively humid. The giant trees grow in disjointed intersecting between the gaps in the temple. Birds eat the fruit of the tree and distribute the seeds throughout the temple. The seeds germinate in water, and the roots spread in the stone seams of the building to the four sides. Tightly wrapped around the ancient temple, growing among the stones, forming the wonder of the ancient temple tree, and adding a lot of mystery to this magical place.
