Historic buildings

Phan Tao Temple is located diagonally opposite to the Dafo Pagoda Temple. There is a huge and ancient teak wood hall in the temple. It is designed in pure Lanna style and has a history of more than 280 years. It is one of the few wooden buildings at present. "PhanTao" means "1000 stoves", because it used to be a Buddha casting field, casting Buddha statues for important temples, hence the name. The walls of Pandao Temple are ochre red, and on top of each wall column is a white kneeling figure or a small slender tower, which is very eye-catching on the street. The simple and elegant teak wood hall enters from the temple gate facing the street, and you will see a hall immediately. The columns, walls and roof ridges are all made of precious teak wood, which is a very famous building in the temple. You will find that compared with other resplendent temples and palaces, it is particularly simple and elegant. The bottom is supported by 28 huge teak columns and leads to the roof. It is quite imposing in appearance. The solemnity is full of antique flavor, very charming. There are many small bamboo pagodas filled with yellow prayer flags around the hall, rendering a strong Lanna culture atmosphere. This hall used to be the residence of the royal family. Above the door is a golden Lanna-style woodcarving. The huge peacock in the center spreads its wings and opens its screen, symbolizing the splendor and nobility of the king. Around the peacock, there are lions and dragons holding up the pagoda and lying under the peacock. holding a dog. The whole wood carving is well-proportioned in layout, rigorous in structure, vivid in shape and exquisite in workmanship. Entering the teak wood hall, the main Buddha enshrined has a peaceful appearance and glittering golden light. There are many low-hanging prayer flags hanging on the top of the main hall, and ancient temple bells, ceramic products, gilded wooden Buddha statues in northern Thai style, teak cabinets, Buddhist scriptures copied on palm leaves and other items are displayed in the hall, all of which are worth appreciating.

Everyone l

Everyone likes to go to the temple to pray for the New Year. If it is in the temple tour of Chiang Mai, the most touching and the most I like, it must be the Buddha statue in the courtyard of the Taoist Temple. As we all know, the Buddha is under the Bodhi tree. Sitting down, this scene must be achieved, and a narrow river reflects the reflection of the Buddha. Chiang Mai is full of lotus flowers. Isn't it the mirror flower? On the Ratchadamnern Rd, the main road of the ancient city of Chiang Mai, there are jewels, and these various jewels are the temples of Chiang Mai.

In November 2018, the Chiang Mai Water Lantern Festival

Time: The nights of November 22nd and 23rd, 2018. Location: In the temples, Nawana Bridge, and by the Mae Ping River. 1. After watching the water lantern festival parade for a while, in a temple near Tapei Road, I saw monks helping tourists light Kongming lanterns. 2. After watching the candle blessing ceremony at Pando Temple, I arrived at Nawana Bridge. 3. By the Mae Ping River, releasing water lanterns. How many tens of thousands of people must be on that Nawana Bridge! It feels like all the tourists in the world are here for the Water Lantern Festival. There is no shock of thousands of people releasing sky lanterns together here. But it's more natural, more pure, more authentic. I saw - Pairs of hands, pushing together. Pairs of eyes, full of anticipation. Lanterns, drifting away slowly. When I saw countless Kongming lanterns rising slowly, When the night of Chiang Mai was illuminated by Kongming lanterns, When these brilliant colors bloomed in the sky of Chiang Mai, I saw wishes, I saw hope, I saw happiness, I saw warmth, In everyone's eyes, faces, smiles. I came to the Mae Ping River and bought a water lantern. The water lantern is decorated with incense candles and fresh flowers, And colorful paper utensils, as a tribute to Buddha. This is the most beautiful time of the Water Lantern Festival. On the water surface, there are twinkling stars and flickering candle lights. Illuminating the thick and indissoluble tenderness. The traditional festival of the Water Lantern Festival, Has been drifting along the river for more than 700 years. I squeezed through the dense crowd to the river. The rainy season is over, the water is high, the boat is high, the flowers are good, the moon is round. The water lanterns are drifting, drifting on the river, drifting to the distance. On this romantic and beautiful day, We are here, we are together. Let the memory, be sealed in this moment. Let this scene, become eternal.

[Chiang Mai] Wat Phan Tao Temple. A temple with a beautiful night view.

Wat Phan Tao Temple in Chiang Mai City. There are so many temples in the city that each one is a memory, but this temple is unique and memorable. I happened to walk by in the evening and went in, and the lights and colorful cloths on the trees were so beautiful. I recommend you visit this temple in the evening to see it and take pictures. That's why I uploaded the representative photo of this post as a photo of the lights rather than the golden pagoda. #Unique temple #Hot place #Chiang Mai #Night view

The Hope R

The Hope Road Temple, known as the Blessing of the Holy Land, is also known as the Teak Temple. It is a temple diagonally opposite the Great Buddhist Temple. There is a huge and ancient teak hall in the temple. The pure Lanna-style design, with more than 280 years of history, is one of the few wooden buildings in the world. It is another nameless treasure in Chiang Mai. The wooden architecture always gives a feeling of elegance and dignity, and it also makes people feel more cordial. Thai Phan Tao means "1000 stoves", because it used to be a Buddhist temple, and it was named after the Buddha statue for the first temple. Compared to other magnificent temples, the Temple of Hope is particularly simple and elegant. The shape of the large brothel is quite impressive. The carved stucco decoration doors and windows, antique, and the Bayeux scriptures of 200 years ago and the teak cabinets that collect the ancient scriptures are worthy of careful appreciation. The first thing that caught the eye of the Hope Road Temple was the teak palace of the quaint mulberry. In fact, the temples I have in mind are never brilliant, but they should have both a sense of weight and a sense of history. If they are not high, they can also rely on Buddhist believers to rely on them. Compared with other golden temple buildings, the Hope Road Temple is a lot of low-key, but it is worth a long time. Take the shoes out of the temple as usual, and there are many small Buddha statues in the hall. The quiet atmosphere makes people unable to make a sound. One flower, one world, one leaf and one bodhi; the quiet atmosphere of Pandao Temple can make people who have lived for a long time feel a lot. The landscape fish in the pond is swimming around the circle, and we have been staying at the pond for a long time. Under the red umbrella, the Buddha bells hang in a row under the shade of green; although I don't know the meaning, I think this vulgar seems to be very pleasing.

The Hope R

The Hope Road Temple is located opposite the Big Stupa Temple and has a history of more than 280 years, because it used to be a Buddhist temple. The temple hall is made entirely of teak wood and is very beautiful. It displays the ancient temple clocks, ceramics and Buddhist scriptures, all worthy of careful appreciation. There are eight famous "weekly Buddhas" in the temple. Each Buddha masters one day, and Wednesday is divided into two days, day and night. Find the corresponding Buddha and pray for blessing according to the week of your birthday. Every year in November, the Lantern Festival, the Hope Road Temple also has a grand blessing ceremony, the monks will chanting, lighting the candlestick, releasing the water lamp, and placing the sky lanterns. The scene is spectacular.

Pandao Tem

Pandao Temple is located diagonally opposite the Great Buddhist Pagoda Temple. There is a huge and ancient teak hall in the temple. The pure Lanna-style design, over 280 years of history, is one of the few wooden buildings in the city and is also in the ancient city of Chiang Mai. A gem-class hall. Phan Tao means 1000 stoves, because it used to be a Buddhist temple, and it was named for the important temples to cast Buddha statues. The walls of the Hope Road Temple are crimson, and each wall column has a white kneeling portrait or a small tower on the top, which is very striking on the street. Out of the hall, to the back of the courtyard, you can see a man-made river, sitting on the sand in the back of a golden Buddha, showing the Buddha's way to become a Buddha under the Bodhi tree, very special. In addition, there are some old buildings such as boudoirs and pagodas in the temple. When the Water Lantern Festival is held every November, the Taoist Temple will hold a ceremony. At that time, the courtyard will be filled with water lanterns and sky lanterns, which are particularly beautiful under the night sky. Pandao Temple's lighting activities are generally from 19
