Heritage Poem by : Gan Yung Chyan

Distributed to Everyone
Angkor is the capital of the Khmer Empire (ninth to fifteenth centuries AD), the largest city in the world in the twelfth century AD. It means "city" in Khmer. Therefore, Angkor Wat in Khmer means "city pagoda".
The Angkor Empire's last king is King Jayavarman II who defeated Champa, an ancient kingdom in present-day Central Vietnam. He introduced Mahayana Buddhism to Cambodia and he is the last great king of the Angkor Empire. His goal is to turn Cambodia into a paradise in which the Khmer people would be the honourable Race with good or benevolent characteristics that other nationalities will look up to. Can the current leader of Cambodia, Hun Sen, accomplish that?
I thank Angkor Palace Resort & Spa for arranging return sunset and sunrise trips to Angkor for me. Return trip costs 10 USD. Buy a three-day entry ticket at 40 USD. The best time to appreciate Angkor Wat's beauty is between 5.30 am and 6.30 am. Angkor opens at 5 am and ticket sales close at 5 pm daily.

Altar and steep it is
Neat relief sanctuary
Groups of torch reveal slowly
King of calm
Open balm
Rinse to the farm
Ways upright
A man decides
The city's pride
Silhouette on the pool
Unity is cool
Not a secret shoot
Rise a way that thirst
In clicks of the sun
Silhouette dimmed
Enter future of honour

祭坛和陡峭的是
整齐的救灾避难所
火炬群体慢慢显露
冷静之王
打开唇膏
冲洗农场
直立方式
有一个人决定
这个城市的骄傲
剪影于池塘
团结就是爽
不是秘密拍摄
上升那份渴望的一种方式
在太阳的点击
灰色剪影
输入荣誉未来
