Architectural features of Bangkok Watertown
Bangkok is low-lying, with many rivers, and artificial canals are constantly being excavated. By the19th century, Bangkok had become a water capital. There are boats on the river, frequent freight transportation and floating market, so it is called "Venice of the East". With the development of land transportation and modern industry and commerce, rivers have gradually lost their role as traffic arteries. Since 1969, most rivers have been filled and turned into noisy roads. There are more than a dozen rivers winding through the city.
Venice in the East:
Just as the Yellow River is to China, the rolling Chao Phraya River is the epitome of Thai history and the cradle of civilization. Just downstream of this famous river, there is a beautiful city. Tropical trees in the city are lush, flowers of various colors bloom all year round, resplendent buildings and high-rise houses are scattered, and resplendent Buddhist temples are dotted among them. It is Bangkok, the capital of Thailand.
Bangkok is the largest city in Thailand, covering an area of over 2.9 million square kilometers. It is the political, economic and cultural center of Thailand and the transportation hub of Thailand. Thailand is a Buddhist country, and about 90% of its residents believe in Buddhism.
