On vacation, my
friends and I went to Phnom Bayong. We traveled by car, It took three hours
hors to that place located in Por Romg village, Preah Bat phoan Chum commune,
Kirivong district forty-three kilometers south of Tabeo provincial town or
about one hundred and one kilometers south of Phnom Penh. When we arrived at
the mountain, we had to climb up. The road to the mountain, however, is old and
difficult to access in the thick forest.
We walked up the old ladders and
steps. We could see beautiful landscape and view around the temples at the top
of the mountain. On the other hand, the ancient reads and natural forest tortes
that made us frustrate and comfort. Plus, there were five temples on the
mountain such as Bayong temple is a historical site that attracts us so much,
Preah kor temple, North Kanang temple, East Kanang temple and Kanang temple.
All are for Brahman worship and contain a Silva lingam. At the moment that we
had traveled, we took a rest at the small hut on the top that site. We asked
old men and nuns over there about the ancient temple like the Bayong temple.
They told us that Bayong
temple was built between AD six hundred and fifteen and six hundred and
thirty-five by king Pavavarman it on the top of Phnom Bayong, a three hundred and
thirteen-mete-high mountain. Its diameter is thirteen meters by nine meters and
it is twelve meter high. Constructed of late, bricks and other stones, it is
heavily damaged. Pieces of the temple litter the ground the roof has collapsed,
and the late rite rampart has been damaged.
Furthermore, they told us about one
thing is a stream, Pha Oak, which flows one thousand meters from its source to
where people congregate to swim or bathe. The stream six meters wide during the
rainy season and two meters daring the dry season. The sound of the water
falling from the mountaintop is almost musical, and the scenery is beautiful.
And then we had logo lo visit right there. All the things like told. Water was
very cold and it made us happy together. Though we were tired because of the
difficult roads, we comforted with these beautiful sceneries.
At the end, it
was lime we came back home because of the night time reached, so we were hurry
up to get on our can. We were
very happy and comfortable on our own way, We reached our homes at nine o’clock
in the evening.\
