There is a "hidden ancient city" in Thailand, once the earliest capital of Siam, where few people go

As one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, Thailand is indeed extremely rich in tourism resources. Thailand so many cities, the style is obvious, each has its own characteristics, bangkok's bustling wonderful, chiang mai's literary and artistic freshness, phuket's vitality seaside, the quiet primitive of a liaoning flights meter, sume's high-end light luxury. .。 Both have attracted a lot of fans and made Thailand's tourism industry more comprehensive and diverse.
And in the eyes of most Thais, there is an incredibly important ancient city that can be described as the religious shrine of "Buddhist light "that is Thailand's first capital, the cradle of the birth of Thai culture, words, and language, a sacred place for which the Thai people aspire: Sukhothai.
People familiar with the history of Thailand know that Thailand used to be called "Siam ", and in the 13-14 century, the capital of the first kingdom of Siam was Sukhot. During the heyday of the thai people, the "su-co-tai dynasty" reached unprecedented flights from changsha to shanghai prosperity, where people live and work in peace and contentment, a flourishing state, whether political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, territorial and other aspects of the peak state.
In the 200 years since the king's capital was built, Sukhot has been the spiritual pillar of the Thai people. It was not until the middle of the 15th century that the city began to decline, replaced by the "big city" of the Ayutoya dynasty, which gradually became the political center of the country, and gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
After the ups and downs of history, Sukhot has also become a forgotten city. It is more than 300 kilometers north of bangkok, an ancient city in northern thailand that was once abandoned and has become an increasingly popular tourist destination in thailand after more than 30 years of restoration. Although most visitors to Thailand would not visit, Sukhot remains one of the most prominent architectural sites in the country.
Now the ancient and tranquil ancient city of Sukhot has been transformed into a Sukhot historical park, which stands with many monumental buildings, the birthplace and essence of the early artistic style of Thai architecture, the cultural treasure of Thai religion and architectural art, and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The park is a massive,110-square-kilometer park surrounded by three-story earthen walls, moats and walls, with 193 Buddhist monuments, including palaces, Buddhist temples and numerous ancient pagodas, Buddha statues, stone tablets, ponds, dikes and ancient porcelain kilns, seen as the "roots of national culture" in Thailand.
Among the many historical relics of Suketai, the giant Buddha statue of Xichun Temple is the most representative. Founded in the 13th century AD, Xichun Temple now stands in the open-air high wall of a towering Buddha statue,15 meters high and 11.3 meters wide, with a spectacular shape and a peaceful expression, is the only open-eyed Buddha statue in Suketai's thousands of Buddha statues, quite mysterious.
The best way to visit the ancient city is to take a hike or ride a bike. According to the tour strategy, you can visit the main temple relics and buddha in turn, walk slowly through these historical relics, and savor the rich and heavy historical and cultural origin of thailand. Each pagoda here represents a history, and each Buddha tells a story.
But even though mr. suko's visitor numbers and tourism revenues are less well-known than such hot spots as bangkok, phuket and chiang mai. But the rebirth of the ancient city of sukotai still attracted a steady stream of thai people to this "root-seeking ", people have a special feeling for the culture and history of sukotai, all hope to see the original appearance of thailand.
