Urban Buddhist charm, inheriting the tranquility of a thousand years

#Bangkok Itinerary
Day 1: A blend of Zen and prosperity
In the morning, we headed to the famous Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. This Buddhist temple, which is mainly built in Chinese architectural style, exudes a strong oriental charm. As you enter the temple, the red eaves, exquisite carvings and golden Buddha statues complement each other, and the overall atmosphere is both solemn and friendly. There was an endless stream of believers in the temple, praying for peace and prosperity. Amid the smoke of incense, I felt a long-lost peace of mind. In the afternoon, we headed to the Erawan Shrine, another representative place of prayer in Bangkok. The believers held flowers in their hands and knelt devoutly around the Buddha statue. The whole scene made people deeply feel the Thai people's respect and love for their faith.
Day 2: Nostalgia and modern perspectives
The next day, we explored Bangkok's Chinatown, where the narrow streets were lined with Chinese-style shops and restaurants. There is a strong atmosphere of local life here, and the various snacks and specialties are dazzling. In the afternoon, we headed to Wat Arun. This pagoda decorated with gorgeous tiles sparkled in the sun. Looking from a high vantage point, we could see the Chao Phraya River winding by, where the ancient and modern aspects of the city met, bringing the trip to a perfect end.
