Freely go to Chiang Mai in Thailand.
Chiang Mai is a foreign city that is particularly suitable for independent travel. The travel services on Ctrip are comprehensive, with airport pick-up and drop-off services for only 10-30 RMB, half-day tours to "Doi Suthep Temple" and "Bhubing Palace", family-friendly activities such as "Mae Wang Elephant Camp" and "Night Safari", and the most recommended one-day tour to the White Temple and Black Temple in Chiang Rai. On the day of departure, there will be a special car to pick up and drop off at the hotel. Even if your English is poor, there will be a Chinese tour guide accompanying you throughout the journey. I chose to depart on Friday because as a foodie, I didn't want to miss the most famous Saturday and Sunday night markets in Chiang Mai, where there are various cheap and delicious snacks and exquisite handmade products for sale. Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand. It not only has a leisurely pace, but also is full of ancient and profound cultural heritage. You can walk around in slippers on the streets and alleys, and if you get tired, you only need to take a tuk-tuk or songthaew for 20 baht (5 RMB) as transportation.
Strolling through any street or alley in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, you can encounter magnificent or peaceful Buddhist temples. This small city with a population of 500,000 surprisingly has over 300 temples of all sizes, and you may get confused. However, there are several particularly famous temples that you must visit.
The first "Wat Phra Singh". It is the largest Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai, built in the 14th century, and is a perfect example of Lanna-style architecture. The first thing that catches your eye when entering the temple is the glittering golden Buddha statue, and the murals in the hall depict the ancient local costumes and customs. In the center of the temple is a 20-meter golden white tower, which is a strong representative style of Thai temples.
The second "Qidilong Temple", also known as the Big Buddha Temple, is decorated with snakes and peacocks at the temple gate. There is a huge Buddha statue in the main hall, and the sense of space and the golden decorations inside the temple are very magnificent and exquisite. Along the path to the back square, there is a big Buddha pagoda. Although the ancient pagoda has been weathered by time and earthquakes, it appears majestic and magnificent under the reflection of the golden lotus flowers, with a simple and rustic charm.
The third "Wat Chiang Man", the first temple in Chiang Mai, was built in 1300 and is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. The best building in the temple is the stupa of the main temple, which is surrounded by 15 elephants at the base, giving it a simple and vicissitudinous appearance that contrasts sharply with the dazzling golden elephant spire.
Not far from the city, the "Double Dragon Temple" on the Suthep Mountain, also known as the Suthep Temple, is named after two long dragons sitting and lying on both sides of the steps. It is a famous Buddhist summer resort in Thailand. The Thai royal summer palace is also built on Suthep Mountain. The Phuping Palace can be opened to the public when the royal family is not there from April to December. The palace has beautiful white walls and yellow tiles, and is located in the green mountains and trees, with its own beauty of coolness and peace.
The two breathtaking temples in Chiang Rai, the White Temple and the Black Temple, are the highlights of a trip to Chiang Mai. The White Temple was built by designer Cheler Mchai at his own expense and was first established in 1997. The entire complex is pure white and lustrous, with only small pieces of polished glass as borders or decorations, which is quite different from the usual temples. The details, such as the flying birds on the eaves, the standing statues on the roof, the reclining turtles on the pillars, and the flowing clouds on the flags, all reflect the exquisite and delicate design, which is a masterpiece of art. The White Temple tells the story of how one can reach the Buddhist paradise by crossing the Naihe Bridge and avoiding the temptation of hell with a single-minded focus. Next to the White Temple is a "glittering" golden building, which is actually a toilet and is probably the most beautiful toilet in the world.
The Black Temple is located in a forest of lush grass, consisting of many intricately constructed Thai temples made of original logs. The theme of the Black Temple is hell and death, with water buffalo skulls lined up on the ground, animal skins and large shells on the table, and a complete elephant skeleton and dried snake specimens on display. The creator, Mr. Thawan Duchanee, spent 36 years gradually designing and building this huge open-air, garden-style private art museum. His disciple and friend, a Buddhist artist, was inspired by him to create the still unfinished White Temple.
In Chiang Mai, magnificent temples can be seen everywhere, filled with the mysterious charm of Eastern Buddhist culture. With cheap prices and convenient transportation, it is definitely a perfect place for you to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and people you see with your eyes open or closed, and let yourself fly. Take some beautiful photos that will make you want to cry and savor them slowly.
The ancient city of Chiang Mai is the site of the royal palace of the Lannatai Dynasty. It is in a quadrangle style, still retaining the city wall and moat.

The area is small, walking and bicycle are the best way to visit. Every time the water splash festival, it becomes the main battlefield for locals.

Lanna Chiang Mai ancient culture The beauty of art is Chuanting eye, shocking.

The ancient city of Chiang Mai has a historical charm and needs to be slowly experienced. The first stop at Tapei Gate, the remnants of the wall here, is the only monument to witness the history of Chiang Mai. Chaidilong Temple (Data Temple) is located in the center of the ancient city and is a noble temple in Chiang Mai. Now due to economic reasons, there are not many tourists. Tutu is the main transportation of the city, a bit backward, seems to be far from the modern city high-rise buildings and busy traffic. But what we like is this tranquility
"Chiang Mai is Thailand's second largest city, known as the "Northern Rose of Thailand", is the political, economic and cultural center of northern Thailand, after the capital Bangkok, this ancient city that once slept in northern Thailand, is now popular with everyone. Compared with the lively capital, Bangkok, Chiang Mai has a completely different temperament: refreshing air, quiet city, close to nature, and a cultural heritage that has been settled for hundreds of years or more. More people know the city and love this small city should be the one from Deng Lijun. "There are many stories in the small town. When you walk through the alleys of Huamu Fushu in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, you will definitely find that the quiet and sweetness in the tune is so suitable for everything in front of you.
Thailand, a country that takes Buddha as its idol, often hears them say, "Buddha can see...", what does this mean, explain as follows, when you let Thais do something against their heart, our people always say, hey, Nobody can see (our merchants do something short of catty, adulterated, selling outdated food, fake production dates), Thais will seriously tell you: "Buddha can see". Therefore, the general Thais do not refer to specific intentional criminals, they all think that the Buddha sea is boundless, and nothing can be hidden from the Buddha.
The blue temple in Chiang Mai was designed and built by Mr. Xu Cailong's Gaotu, continuing its concept of building the white temple at the beginning, no tickets, no parking fees, no incense money. The blue temple is deep and solemn, and the blue temple gives people a deep and quiet beauty against the blue sky. Behind the main hall a white Buddha stood, lifelike.
