A quaint city filled with relaxation and romance | The Rose of Northern Thailand·Chiang Mai

Northern Thailand·Chiang Mai, This historic and picturesque small city, Is known far and wide for its roses, Hence it is also known as 'The Rose of Northern Thailand', For a long period in the past, it was the capital of the Thai kingdom, And to this day, it still retains many precious historical and cultural heritages, It is also an educational hub in Thailand, with Chiang Mai University being the most famous, Moreover, because it was once part of the Lan Na Kingdom along with the Xishuangbanna region of Yunnan Province in China, The local dialect and the Dai language used in the Xishuangbanna region are the same. My first acquaintance with the small city of Chiang Mai, Came from the classic and widely known song 'Little Town Story', As a child, I mistakenly thought that the little town described in the lyrics was Chiang Mai, Only to find out when I grew up that it was not (in fact, it is Lugang Sanyi Town in Taiwan Province, China), But it was this serendipitous connection, That made me want to learn more about this city, The city that Teresa Teng loved most in her life and where she ultimately passed away, The city that countless backpackers stop by and then do not wish to leave, What kind of magic makes everyone so reluctant to leave? That's why I decided to come and explore and uncover the answer that has eluded me for years. The first impression of taking the train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai is, The heat of Northern Thailand has penetrated every inch of the air, Venturing out at noon here requires courage, The small city is filled with ease and a slow pace everywhere, From locals to tourists and even to cats and dogs, A languid life is the main theme here, Perhaps that's also why so many people fall in love with this place, Take it slow, relax, and let go.
