Outstanding
The Golden Mount is a historic temple in Bangkok, located on an artificial hill, the Golden Mount, hence its name. You need to climb more than 300 steps to reach the top, but the scenery along the way is beautiful, and the sound of bells and chanting of scriptures makes people feel peaceful. After reaching the top of the mountain, you can overlook the panoramic view of Bangkok city, especially at sunrise and sunset, the scenery is particularly charming.
The temple enshrines Buddha relics, incense is prosperous, and many locals come to pray. Compared with other famous temples in Bangkok, there are relatively few tourists here, the atmosphere is quiet, and it is more suitable for immersive experience of Thailand's Buddhist culture. If you want to find a place where you can enjoy the scenery of Bangkok and experience the religious atmosphere, the Golden Mount is a good choice.
