In the movie Tomb Raider, Angelina Jolie stands in a temple that seems to grow ancient trees from stones, and a Cambodian girl appears and disappears. This scene was shot in Ta Prohm. There is a Naga in front of the temple. In Angkor Wat, Naga is often seen. It is a mysterious creature in Hindu mythology. It occupies the same position as dragon in China in Cambodia. It is also similar to dragon in shape. It usually has five, seven or nine heads, which are fan-shaped. Legend has it that when Sakyamuni was practicing under the Bodhi tree, it was raining heavily. Naga, a seven-headed snake, turned into a prince's mount. In order to help the prince shelter himself from the rain, one head was not enough. Seven heads could shelter the rain from all directions. The snake that protects Buddha is a good snake, so behind its seemingly ferocious face is a kind and caring heart. The most prominent feature of Tabu Cage Temple is that there are many huge trees entangled with Buddhist pagodas and temples. It is not clear whether it is a rattan-entangled temple or a temple-entangled rattan. It is amazing the power and creation of nature. However, this also poses a dilemma to the protection of cultural relics. If ancient trees are allowed to grow, damaged ancient buildings will eventually fall apart. If winding ancient trees are cut down, some ancient buildings will collapse. We arrived at the temple at 12 noon and the temperature was above 34 degrees. But because it is full of tall trees, even the noon sun is not too hot.

    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.
