Many travel agencies offer half-day tours to the scenic spots in Chiang Mai, which are Shuanglong Temple and Puping Palace in Su Tie Mountain. After the Chartered train arrived at Puping Palace, we returned along the original road to visit under the Shuanglong Temple. Su Tie Shan, also known as Shuanglong Temple, was built in 1383 during the Lana Dynasty. It is said that the location of the temple was determined by a white elephant. In the 14th century, the Sakyamuni Buddha's Sariko was discovered. At that time, people placed the Sariko on the back of the white elephant and allowed the white elephant to find a place to worship the Sariko. Finally, the white elephant landed on the Su Tie Mountain, which is the origin of the Shuanglong Temple. To get to the temple, you need to walk 300 steps the steep steps of Longbu or take the top cable car. The tickets are 30 baht and 50 baht respectively. Thai locals are free. Outside the temple there are rows of bells and small gardens for visitors to take photos. Shoes need to be taken off inside the temple, men, women and children need to wear long-sleeved trousers and skirts. All skirts and pants must exceed the knees to show respect for Buddha. This time, Xiaobian had to borrow a wrapped skirt for 20B and take off his shoes outside the temple. Entering the temple, the brilliant golden and blue sky in Chiang Mai, the sunshine was brilliant, almost blinking at a moment. Xiao Bian walked barefoot on the hot ground with the crowd. He was really drunk when he met an aunt who was full of enthusiasm and wanted to take pictures and blocked the way ahead. Buddhist monks and worshippers will circle around the Buddha with a lotus bud and incense in their hands. This is a solemn ceremony. It is a spiritual washing for believers to come here. Every day, there are a lot of tourists, many people will express in the donation box and leave their names on the donation book, less than 20B, more than 1000B. Thailand is a country where religious beliefs are flourishing. Being very kind and friendly to people is the first impression left to Xiaobian. Even if the language is not well communicated, it will help you very enthusiastically. Thank You, Thailand

    A lot of people there but it’s worth for the great view about the whole city and area around Chiang Mai. Quite a few steps to climb up and a good car is recommended for the way up the mountain.

    Amazing temple to visit. Have to climb the stars to reach the temple. For those that are unable to climb, there is a lift to bring you up the temple. Beautiful view from the temple courtyard, able to see Chiang Mai international airport from the temple. There is also a cafe selling hot coffee that’s reasonable priced

    Shuanglong Temple is a famous Buddhist summer resort in Thailand. It is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It is a temple built by the white elephant site and royal family. It is full of legendary temples. It is legendary that a Ceylon monk brought several Buddhas to Thailand, one of which was dedicated to the sixth king of Lanna for 13 years. In order to make his people can also serve Buddha, he asked four soldiers to follow his white elephant to find a holy place. The elephant went straight to the present Suthep Mountain, stopped at the tower that he saw now, and the white elephant died. The king built the tower here so that his people could also serve the Sheri of Sakyamuni. And because there were two golden dragons guarding the mountain road, so that it could be called "Shuanglong Temple"
