Thailand/Chiang Mai/City Walk Experience Thai exquisite slow life!

🌴Chiang Mai is a city in northern Thailand with a beautiful environment and cool climate. It is famous for its roses and is known as the 'Rose of Northern Thailand'. It has a long history and is second only to Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, in terms of development. The city is beautiful and full of flowers and plants. Scenic recommendation Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Located on Doi Suthep, the viewing platform offers a panoramic view of Chiang Mai. The most famous is the 309 steps you have to climb before going up. These long steps are guarded by two dragon sculptures, hence the name Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. The main hall is really golden, shining under the noon sun Wat Phra Singh A century-old ancient temple, it is also the second most important temple in Chiang Mai, with classic red tile and gold edge architecture and Lanna style. Every April during the Songkran Festival, the temple holds the largest annual Buddha bathing event Wat Chiang Man The first temple in Chiang Mai, the whole temple gives a very fresh feeling. Rather than a temple, it is more like a garden, with various Lanna and Sri Lankan style buildings surrounded by green trees. The green plant coverage rate is really high, it is very suitable for leisurely walks here Wat Srisuphan The whole is silver, so it is also called the Silver Temple. The building adopts the Lanna style brick and stone structure and exquisite aluminum silver decoration. This three-dimensional art depicts Buddhist stories, Buddhist puzzles, and the history of the temple. Its purpose is not only to protect religion and preserve local silver wisdom, but also to make future generations proud of the Lanna Kingdom Wat Rong Khun The most beautiful temple in northern Thailand, most tourists' first reaction here is exclamation, the pure white temple is really beautiful and holy. With white as the base and silver mirror edging, it reflects dazzling light, symbolizing the purity of the Buddha and the wisdom of the Buddha illuminating the entire universe Guanyin Temple The temple is located on a small hill, and you can see the pure and flawless giant Guanyin statue standing in the distance from a distance. This Guanyin statue and the white giant dragon guarding the steps on both sides are also ins net red check-in points. In addition, there is a beautiful nine-story pagoda Guanyin Hall next to it, which combines Lanna, Chinese and European art, and is worth seeing Wat Rong Suea Ten This is also the work of the disciple of the author of the White Temple, and like the White Temple, it mainly plays a color system. The exquisite blue temple is eye-catching. Although the scale is not large, seeing it with your own eyes will really be amazed by the deep blue color of the sea. The murals in the main hall are also very exquisite and dreamy Kanta Elephant Sanctuary Also known as the Elephant Refuge Center, it was established in 2015 specifically to provide protection for retired elephants and is a public welfare elephant protection camp. Food recommendation🍱 Raw marinated prawns You must eat raw marinated when you come to Thailand! The shrimp meat is firm, fresh and sweet with a hint of sour and spicy, the taste is delicate and smooth, it tastes a bit like sashimi, soft and soft, with sour and spicy sauce, the taste is super fresh Grilled pork belly The pig skin is really crispy, very chewy, and the pure meat flavor when eaten alone. With the three-flavored Thai dipping sauce, you can put more dipping sauce for a while. After absorbing the juice, the meat flavor and sour and spicy sauce collide on the tip of the tongue. I think I'm drooling again, forgive me for being a meat lover. Lychee soda water I forgot the full name, the first sip has an amazing feel~ The sweetness of lychee and the coolness similar to mint are mixed, it tastes good, highly recommended! Practical small tips: Before I saw all platforms saying that the queue was fierce, but we went at 9 o'clock in the evening, so there were many vacancies. It is recommended that you can go later. The restaurant stops entering at ten o'clock, so pay attention to the time! Transportation It only takes 1 hour to fly from Bangkok, or you can take a train, leave in the evening and arrive in the morning. The train ticket is about 300 RMB, and the air ticket depends on the time. It is cheap at 1~200 RMB.
