"Route of Zunyi Conference Site" —— Bangkok, Thailand's "Buddhist Capital"

Today, I will introduce you to Bangkok, one of the important destinations for Dalian to travel to Thailand.

Bangkok is the Buddhist capital of Thailand. In Thailand's primary school textbooks, there is a passage specifically for children to recite, which is actually the full name of Bangkok in Thai and the longest city name in the world. That is, "city of angels, a magnificent city, a city of happiness, a city of eternal gems, an indestructible city, is endowed with a magnificent capital of nine gems, a palace as lofty as the Heavenly Palace, and a city created by Vishnu".

Bangkok Grand Palace is the best preserved, largest and most national palace in Thailand. The Grand Palace is an ancient palace modeled after the old capital of a big city. After the continuous expansion of successive kings, it has formed a magnificent building complex. Rama I to Rama VIII in Bangkok lived in the Grand Palace. Today, the Grand Palace has become a famous tourist attraction in Thailand, except for coronation ceremony, court celebration and other ceremonies and activities. The Grand Palace combines the essence of Thai architecture, painting, sculpture and decoration. It has a distinctive Siamese architectural style and is known as "a collection of Thai arts". There are four magnificent buildings in the Grand Palace, namely Ji Jie Palace, Lushi Palace, Ama Palace and Jade Buddha Temple. With charming scenery and exquisite garden art, the Grand Palace, together with the Jade Buddha Temple, is known as the symbol of Bangkok and a must-see attraction in Thailand.

Located in the northeast corner of Bangkok Grand Palace, Jade Buddha Temple is the most famous Buddhist temple in Thailand and one of the three national treasures in Thailand. Jade Buddha Temple, built in 1784, is a part of the Grand Palace in Thailand, accounting for about a quarter of the Grand Palace. Jade Buddha Temple is a place where the Thai royal family worships jade Buddha statues and holds religious ceremonies. Named after the jade Buddha enshrined in the temple. There are 178 colorful comic books with the theme of Indian classical literature Ramayana, which are painted in the wall gallery nearly one kilometer around the temple, and there are poems translated in Thai. The large porcelain screen of the Jade Buddha Temple is beautifully painted, describing the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in China. The jade Buddha placed in Ursa Hall is the treasure of the town temple and the national treasure of Thailand. Every summer, rainy season and winter, the King of Thailand personally changes clothes for the Jade Buddha. The two Buddha statues in front of the Buddha statue represent the first emperor and the second emperor respectively, and each Buddha statue uses 38 kilograms of gold. There are many magnificent buildings on the platform to the north of the Hall of the Great Heroes, the easternmost of which is the royal ancestral temple Bilong Temple, and the memorial statues of Rama I to V are placed in Chen. There are two golden pagodas in front of the temple, which were built by Rama I in memory of his parents.

The four-faced Buddhist altar is one of the most prosperous incense sacrificial bases in Thailand. In Thailand and Southeast Asia, the four-faced Buddha is regarded as a benevolent god. Before offering sacrifices to the four-faced Buddha, you should abstain from meat and vegetarian food to show kindness to animals. Believers should not abuse animals at ordinary times. The four-faced Buddhist altar was built in 1956. It is said that during the construction of Lovers Bay Hotel (the predecessor of Grand Hyatt Hotel), a series of unfortunate industrial accidents occurred, and many local workers died mysteriously. Later, this four-faced Buddha altar was built near the construction site to worship the four-faced Buddha and pray for the blessing of all beings. Since then, there has never been an industrial accident. Every year, many China believers and Buddhists come here to worship, especially Hongkong people. Not worshiping the four-faced Buddha in Bangkok is like not worshiping God in a temple.

Siam Square, located in the center of Bangkok, was founded in 1965. It is the most famous shopping center in Thailand, with many international chain stores, schools, bookstores and bars. There are the most famous discount store MBK shopping center, high-end luxury conjoined model shopping area, imitation shopping area Papeng night market, fashionable Banglamphoo shopping area and Panthip electronic plaza. In the center of Siam Square, there is a performance stage, which is a gathering place for fashion crowds and students in Bangkok. It is considered to be a gathering place for young people in Bangkok.
