Wat Chedi Luang, a revered temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand, captivates with its ancient grandeur. The towering pagoda, partially ruined by time, exudes a mystical aura. Intricate sculptures and stone elephants adorn the temple grounds, reflecting Lanna architecture's elegance. Visiting Wat Chedi Luang is a spiritual and historical odyssey, offering a glimpse into Thailand's rich heritage.
The Great Buddha Pagoda Temple is a very worthwhile place to visit. There are benches around the Great Buddha Pagoda. You can sit under the tree and traverse time and space quietly, talking to the Lanna Dynasty. Looking at the towering tower (42 meters high) in front of us, like the majesty of Chiang Mai's tallest tower (80 meters high), watching the wind and clouds change on the top of the tower and the vicissitudes of the world, the only thing in this scene is excitement and shock. Sakyamuni is offered in the temple. When you see the Buddha, you can't help wanting to creep under his feet and worship his sage, wisdom and bravery. That feeling is familiar and cordial. Yes, I saw a circle of temples. This temple is the most sensible one. In the morning and evening, I will come to visit you again.
Chidilong Temple is a famous temple in Chiang Mai, and it covers a large area. It is worth visiting carefully. There are temples and pagodas in the temples. 1. Introduce the temple first: Shuanglong gate guard is very common at the entrance of the temple. There is a dress requirement for entering the temple. I wear a short skirt and add the coat provided by the temple. The windows in the temple are very beautiful. It is not a simple window, but a work of art. There is a golden man in the temple, originally a local aristocrat, who helped solve the local internal strife and was deeply loved by the local people, so he was worshipped by the people in the temple. Chinese people like to throw coins into pools and Buddha statues. Thai people like to paste Buddha statues with gold foil to pray. 2. Introduce the pagodas in the temple. The tall Lana style Pagoda in the temple was built in 1441 and destroyed in an earthquake in the 16th century, but it is still the most magnificent building in the city. There are six elephant heads on the south side of the tower. Five of them are fakes later repaired with cement. Only the right one is made of real bricks. Unfortunately, after years of wind and sun, the nose and ears were damaged. Below the pagoda, there are twelve zodiacs worshiped. Find my zodiac and take a picture. Two tigers and two tigers walk around the square pagoda. There are two halls behind the square pagoda. In the glass cabinet in the middle of each hall sits the wax figure of a high monk dressed in a cape. His eyes are bright and lifelike. Let's not take pictures, but use research to feel. 3. There is a Buddha in the temple which is very interesting, very fat and ugly. The monk is said to have been a super-beautiful man. Because of his jealous beauty, he finally made himself fat and ugly in order to stay away from the harm caused by his beauty. Previously, in Bangkok did not row up the sleeping Buddha temple, did not expect to encounter the sleeping Buddha in Chaidailong temple, of course, there is no grand sleeping Buddha in Bangkok Grand Buddha temple, but you can see.
The Great Pagoda Temple, formerly known as Wat Phra Kaew, is located in the center of the ancient city of Chiang Mai. The pagoda in the temple was originally tall and majestic, reaching into the sky. However, in a major earthquake 500 years ago, one-third of the top of the pagoda collapsed, leaving behind the ruins we see today, but it is still majestic. It is a must-visit place in Chiang Mai. The Great Pagoda Temple used to have no admission fee, but starting this year, each person (foreign tourists) must pay an entrance fee of 40 baht to enter and visit.
Stunning! I can't think of any words to describe it. Walking in the old city, you can see various temples everywhere, but the Great Pagoda Temple is definitely not to be missed. Although it has suffered damage after twists and turns (earthquake), the ancient temple is still solemn and majestic. Walking around the ancient temple, the changes of the times are clearly visible, and an irrepressible awe rises in my heart. Looking at the broken steps and weeds, I feel that only after going through hardships can you find your true heart. The photos taken from different angles as the light changes are quite beautiful. It is the most important temple to visit. In my heart, this is No.1
The Great Buddha Pagoda Temple (also known as Chidilong Temple or Chari Luan Temple) is the most famous temple in the urban area of Chiang Mai. It's a very large building complex. The sacred and solemn pagoda, built in 1411, is nearly 80 meters tall. The pagoda is carved with delicate pagoda-guarding spiritual snakes on all sides and six elephant sculptures on the pagoda. Although not the original building (which was destroyed in the great earthquake of the 16th century), it can also be seen that it was quite spectacular. There are many buildings in the temple. There are two halls behind the Buddhist pagoda. In the middle of the hall, there is a wax figure of a monk dressed in charisma. His eyes are bright and lifelike. The environment inside the temple is very tidy, many flowers and plants are planted, with a faint fragrance. Tall trees prove the very ancient history here. People hang their wishes on the trees and pray for the protection of Buddha.
