You always need a romantic moment, the sky lanterns of the Qixi Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand will satisfy you

You can first visit the ancient city on the day of arrival. The ancient city is a square 1.5 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide, surrounded by a moat. First go to [Wat Chedi Luang], then walk 100 meters to [Wat Chiang Man], and finally walk 600 meters to [Wat Phra Singh]. Each temple takes about half an hour to visit. These three temples are the most representative temples in the ancient city. Many parts of the ancient city walls no longer exist. The Thapae Gate is a preserved and rebuilt city gate, located in the center of the moat on the east side of the ancient city. You can go there during the day or at night. You can go to the night market that evening. The Sunday night market is held in the ancient city next to Tha Pae Gate. If it is not the weekend, you can go to the Chiang Mai Night Market downstairs of Le Meridien Hotel (open every day) and walk 300 meters from Tha Pae Gate to Chiang Mai Night Market. ❷The next day we took a bus to Doi Suthep Mountain, which is the most famous temple in Chiang Mai. The drive takes about half an hour. You can take a Songtiao car in front of the 7-11 convenience store opposite the north gate of the ancient city. There are also songtau carts going up the mountain in front of Chiang Mai University. After visiting the Doi Suthep Temple, take a 10-minute Songkran ride to the Bhuping Palace, where the Thai king spends his summers. You need to wear long trousers to enter (trousers can be rented at the gate). After leaving the Royal Palace, take a Songtiao cart down the mountain to Chiang Mai Zoo, which feels a bit like a safari park and is very comfortable surrounded by green plants. Turn right out of the zoo gate and walk 700 meters along the road to Chiang Mai University, a park-like school. You can go to the student food market to eat cheap and delicious food. Go to [Nimman Road] for a stroll in the evening, and find a travel agency to sign up for tomorrow's [Elephant Training Camp] half-day tour and [Jungle Flying Half-Day Tour], which can also be booked on the website. Ningman Road is a very artistic and petty bourgeoisie street, and there is a MAYA shopping mall next to it. ❸On the third day, a car will come to the hotel in the morning to pick you up and take you to the elephant training camp. In the afternoon, we will take you to the jungle flying. In the evening, you can go to Nimman Road or to the Central Festival Shopping Center located next to the eastern ring road of Chiang Mai. You need to take a taxi to get there. This is the largest shopping center in Chiang Mai. On the fourth day, we went to Doi Inthanon National Park, which is the highest mountain in Thailand and takes two hours by car one way. (This is a bit far, you can charter a car or take a day trip) You can take the evening flight back to Bangkok Transportation: There are many flights from Bangkok's two airports to Chiang Mai every day, and the flight takes one hour. Chiang Mai Airport is 3 kilometers away from the ancient city (lower left corner). Generally, a tuk-tuk will take you to the hotel for 100 baht. Friends who can drive suggest that it is more convenient to book a rental car online. After all, a songtiao car ride is only 80 baht. Those who can ride a motorcycle can also rent one, but it will be a bit sun-dried. Accommodation: In the old city, near the old city, near Chiang Mai Night Market, near Nimman Road, all are quite convenient. After all, the ancient city is a 1.5x1.5 km square. travel
