Searching for the lost civilization, the ancient city of Wei Gangong was once the first capital of the Lana Dynasty. It was built in 1289 and then submerged by water. It was not discovered until 1984. Before coming to Chiang Mai, I just felt the voice calling from this side. Until the first two days, the name of this ancient city suddenly appeared, and then I yearned for it infinitely in my heart. And I came here because of a fate. On my first night in Chiang Mai, on the way from the Corning Night Market to the hotel, just around the corner, a small open-air bar actually said that the bar was exaggerated. It was a roadside stall, but other roadside stalls sold food and wine. I was stopped by a voice who greeted me warmly. Looking back, it's a warm, warm smile. In this way, I met SAK. SAK is a Turnout driver. Unlike other people's conversations, SAK naturally tells me about the temples and history of Chiang Mai. Well, he likes these temples very much. Yes, I like it very much. There are more than 300 different temples in Chiang Mai, and SAK helped me select several very special ones. Later, I naturally asked him about the ancient city of Wei Gangong. God, he really knew this place. So I made an appointment with him and he took me there. It's 300 baht by Turbo. Less than 10 kilometers from the ancient city, it's in a village. Those ancient bricks, those underground cities that can't speak with words, can't help touching and touching, looking and looking. That piece of instrument carrying historical memory, will feel so familiar. Sak said he planned to go back later and add 500 baht to him. SAK happily agreed. Wei Gangong Temple is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. Because nobody knows, it's so comfortable here. Occasionally, there are Chinese tour groups, and it only takes less than ten minutes to watch the flowers on horseback, so they are not afraid of being disturbed. In the temple, I massaged my local mother, just in the nature. Originally intended to experience horse-killing in women's prisons, SAK told me that they were not professional and that those who really engaged in horse-killing had decades of experience. It's really insight. Originally scheduled for a clock, because it is too surprising and comfortable, but also want to overtime, but there have been local people and other women massage treatment for a long time, unfortunately not continued. It's only 150 baht a minute. It's touching to death. When you go to the temple of Wei Gangong, you can pay attention to Xiaha. In the courtyard of the temple, there are Ma's horses killing chickens. If you encounter them, you must try them. You will feel overvalued. On that day, I spent a very quiet, joyful and in-depth contact with nature in Wei Gangong. Wei Gangong, I will return to the ancient city of Wei Gonggan travel tips - "1, 7 kilometers away from the ancient city of Chiang Mai, you can make a sudden breakthrough
