You are so big that even a big bowl can’t hold you… because you are so lush! How can you bloom so many at once? Delicate pink crabapples. Small morning glories are also beautiful! (*^__^*) Hehe, pink… crabapple sea… these lilies are very large in shape. The flowers in this garden are actually also found in the April Green Bank in Xixi.
They just don’t have the watery spirit like here. The sun was too strong, so Yunluo didn’t dare to take a panoramic photo! Red dahlias. Yellow dahlias. Golden dahlias. Red dahlias. These are herbaceous flowers with beautiful flowers and green leaves. They seem to be unique to Chiang Mai. They are always green and beautiful when you see them…
Yunluo loves small wild flowers o(n_n)o You are so pretty! My daughter said, "Look, they look like little butterflies!" The little butterflies come in many colors, in addition to blue and white, there are also various reds and purples... red lotus and pink morning glory! Red is the eternal mainstream of flowers! The little yellow chrysanthemum is also crazy o(n_n)o Your color is very special.
It’s just that Yunluo didn’t show you well… The Royal Gardens are really nice. Yunluo’s camera only had pictures of them for the first three or four days. I kept sighing that I would have to bring my camera for nothing this time! Until the morning of the last day, Yunluo wandered around the ancient city of Chiang Mai alone. So, hehe (*^__^*)…
Temple lily of the valley, did you notice? Lily of the valley is a kind of hothouse flower. Once it is taken outside, it will be delicate and slender like a miniature version even in Chiang Mai, which is as warm as summer. Bougainvillea is a plant like pine trees and willow trees in our country in tropical areas where it is hot all year round. Often, there are many kinds of them in one temple.
Yunluo wanted to take a picture of it to see how many colors it could bring together... A little yellow-green-white! Purple-pink! A particularly charming gradient pink! A rare and beautiful tomato red! A beautiful white with a hint of bright red... The pure white eggplant flowers from the temple! Nono is the name of the flower, a long string of very red and domineering o(n_n)o.
The small scene that makes people feel particularly fragrant, the soft pink lily of the valley makes Yunluo ripple with tenderness... The flower bed made into a heart shape is the courtyard of a monk's dormitory. There are all flowers in front of the house... It was a very pleasant encounter, and I must thank Yunluo for his hardworking mentality of not letting go of any temple.
However, Yunluo suspected that this tulip bed was fake, because Yunluo had never seen tulips in Chiang Mai, and the shapes of these flowers were too consistent... Yunluo couldn't tell the authenticity because of the pool (*^__^*) These trees are really strange, they can actually produce such bright and beautiful small yellow fruits between bare branches...
Although it is possible to be seen at any time, Yunluo's heart and eyes cannot resist its beauty... Yunluo's eyes are always attracted to it when walking on the street. Because it is so high, Yunluo has to look up at the sky when he sees it. The sky is gentle blue, and they are soft pink...
The street flowers have rich leaves, and the bright red flowers always bloom at the top of the tree. The temple flowers seem to be withering at this time of year! It's you again, it's you again! You can be high on the branches, or you can be low between the raised hands of the clouds. The streets, temples, and alleys are all filled with your fiery figures...
The yam is crazy too, it actually painted itself into such bright colors o(n_n)o Ah, no way! They look more or less natural, but you look like someone has added some paint to your appearance! I saw it on the street, it seems to be someone's beautiful red fence o(n_n)o.
The small red fruits on the corners that blinded Yun Luo's eyes are not unfamiliar, but such plump and bright red bunches are rare! A tree of yellow flowers at the back door of Chiang Mai National Museum. It's so strange that it has green leaves here... You are also yellow. But your flower shape is more similar to those light red ones reflected in the pink blue sky!
White clouds appeared in the afternoon of that day, and the pink trees suddenly became more charming! This blue sky with white clouds floating in it was Yunluo's fixed imagination of Chiang Mai before. The temples Yunluo saw always had such scenes in the background... A tree on the street, see? There are bees again.
This flower is so red! There are small flowers hanging on the iron pole in the museum, tiny and fragmented. The leaves are very dark green. There are also flowers like this one with red in the white, which are too strange. Yun Luo was so stupid that he knocked his head against the iron pole hard. For a long time, he could only see them.
I am really crazy about flowers. Fortunately, no one knows who Yunluo is. I also like them very much. They are all in front of the museum in the center of the ancient city! What kind of flower is this? Here is another one! Flame flower? This tree has few green leaves and dense flowers.
Sunflowers in Chedi Luang Temple. A tree of small white flowers. A touch of blue when you look down. As long as you are attentive, surprises can be found everywhere on the street! Yunluo found another yellow flower! They are so bright yellow that Yunluo doesn't know which one to choose! Hey, you come to make trouble again, you are really everywhere! Another pink flower tree, all of which are not found here in Yunluo and An Chuyu!
You are so eye-catching, are you the bird of paradise? Why can you grow so red? Why? This color is also intoxicating, so beautiful! When I look up, I am amazed, so many "flames" are blazing in this blue sky! You are so red and blurred, and the falling clouds are so blue and sweet o(n_n)o.
Impatiens can be so beautiful. Yunluo was stunned that day! So charming under the morning sun! Oh, your stamens are so beautiful, aren't they? They look like the whiskers of naughty little shrimps. A wall of flowers beside the road. There are not many red flowers, but the clusters of green flowers are very eye-catching...
A lotus in front of the restaurant, a mobile phone in hand. A restaurant with ivy and green radish crawling all over the house. There are many such shops on the streets of Chiang Mai, some are cool and green, while others are bright and lively with a long corridor of sweet flowers and plants...
Yunluo replied, "It's fun!" In addition to the spring with flowers and plants, Chiang Mai has always given people a very leisurely and petty-bourgeois feeling, which seems to be somewhat similar to the Ancient Town of Lijiang here. Young men and women who go there will more or less have fantasies of a romantic encounter, as if they could accidentally step on the hem of a girl's skirt in the blink of an eye.
An unexpected love was born because of an apology... In fact, Chiang Mai is suitable for people of all ages. Young people like its sunny and leisurely atmosphere, and like to ride a motorcycle with their lover to wander around its corners and let time pass leisurely; the elderly will be amazed by the flowers, plants and temples there.
Because there are really golden temples and beautiful flowers everywhere; what about children? No matter how big or small, they will soon be obsessed with their suburban jungles, because there are various kinds of fun in those jungles with Chiang Mai characteristics, such as playing with elephants in the most intimate way and flying between the treetops with gibbons.
The thrills and animal temptations are enough to satisfy children's love of animals and adventure! The temptation of the jungle is deadly. Not to mention children, as long as you are not an adult who is too old to move, you will be tempted to scream and laugh after going there. 900 meters and vertical descent are child's play.
After a few times of such thrilling experiences, you will be deeply addicted. After the experience, you will keep boasting that you will do 1000 meters next time o(n_n)o Hehe, let me tell you a secret. In fact, the journey designed by Yunluo is always accompanied by such adventures and novelties. The more thrilling and exciting, the fresher and rarer the things are.
So, no matter how absurd the girl was on the eve of her departure, and no matter how her father kept a close eye on her and insisted on not letting her go out to play until she finished her homework, Yunluo still took the initiative to book two jungle activities at a travel agency in the ancient city the next night.
In the afternoon, we rode elephants and flew through the jungle. We had originally planned to go to the zoo at night to experience the nocturnal life of animals, but Yunluo must have grown up. She chose to stay and stroll along the Nimman Road, which was full of petty bourgeoisie atmosphere, without hesitation. Yunluo regretted it for half the night.
The night zoo tour that sounds so novel and fun was missed (>_<) The key to playing these jungle adventures is that you have to choose the right company with a clear mind and a sharp eye and a firm mind to buy the right package! Because in Chiang Mai, there are so many options to choose from, so many that you can't tell which one is which...
Yunluo had signed up for the wrong elephant camp for the elephant riding activity. He should not have chosen from the travel agency's advertisements, but should have made his own proposal, as the mother he met on the first day of the new year, who was visiting Chiang Mai for the second time, had suggested. Yunluo should have asked for the completely primitive bareback elephant riding.
The kind that goes through a real jungle! Yunluo said Chiang Mai is not as peaceful and romantic as the legend says because in fact it is full of commercial atmosphere like any ancient city in our country. There are travel agencies all over the streets, and the various activities inside are mixed. In order to attract business, they recommend some new projects that are linked to themselves and have great profit margins.
Yunluo felt that the elephant riding activity that Yunluo and An Chuyu had that day was just like that. All the performing and playing elephants were domesticated by humans. There were not many elephants that could have direct and intimate contact with Yunluo and An Chuyu, so everyone had to take turns playing in batches according to the time. Not only was both time and number exploited.
Even the jungle crossing we agreed on was just a group of two people swinging on the elephant's back with a chair on it and carrying you around casually. The place we arrived at was just a stream and a field, and there was no trace of the jungle at all! It was a day when the sun was shining brightly, and the half-hour elephant riding activity in the mountains was so hot that we were sweating!
The clothes that were originally brought for replacement were also carried back in the same condition. Because so many people were washing a baby elephant, it didn't have the energy to wet Yunluo and An Chuyu's clothes... Everything was too perfunctory, and the adventure and curiosity of the "Lost in Thailand" route was completely unattainable. Yunluo always thought that at least he could bathe with the elephant.
When we splashed water on it, it would use its nose to absorb water and spray us. Otherwise, why would we remind everyone to bring a change of clothes? But to be honest, even so, Yunluo and An Chuyu still played happily for more than two hours, because Asian elephants are too cute animals, and they are naturally playful and cute.
No matter its behavior, expression or cry, it is super cute and lovable! Hehe. Let's look at the pictures to speak, this praise of Yunluo can be proved by the pictures o(n_n)o Just after the first bathing activity, as soon as it stepped into the water, I don't know if it was because the river water was too cold or the owner teased it.
This little elephant with grass scraps all over its back actually stood in the sun-dappled water and laughed happily. Look at its silly smile with narrowed eyes and a grin. How can you not feel joy rising from your heart immediately? Seeing this scene, it seems that our hard work of coming all the way to this small mountain village to have fun with them is worth it o(n_n)o.
In order to satisfy her daughter's late rising, Yunluo signed up for the 1pm session. There were 12 or 13 people in the car, except for Yunluo and An Chuyu, all of them were young people in their twenties. I guess children really like to sleep late and get up late! There were even two beautiful foreign ladies who joined our "Chinese group".
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They followed closely behind Yunluo and An Chuyu all the way and became Yunluo's model for photos... (The eldest brother of the Yunluo family was determined not to participate in such activities. He made the excuse that elephants were too smelly. But the real reason was that he had no love and didn't like animals!) In fact, elephants are not really smelly, they are just too big.
The big head like a coffee table and the small back of the boat are easily covered with dead leaves and dust, which are as thick as a blanket. But these can be washed away. Elephants love to take a bath in the river. You see, before the bath started, it gave the girls a naughty nose spray.
Just now it was kneeling down like a good kid, pretending to be cute and honest. The laughter and screaming started from this moment, la la la! The activity after the bath was to have fun with the elephant. You took a small bucket full of bananas and sugar canes to feed it. While it was eating greedily, it would tease you with its nose and head.
How about a hat-wearing game? Hehe, perfect success (*^__^*)... Hey, naughty elephant, are you wearing a hat or tickling me? Just shake your long nose, but you have to twist and turn to perform "fat girl being shy". It's really hilarious o(n_n)o "Sister, kiss me!"
Ouch, this kiss is quite formal, half of my face is sucked in! This kind of nose kiss is very stimulating, but the sticky and wet snot after the kiss is still a bit disgusting (*^__^*) Don't underestimate it, this little guy is cute and naughty! He always eats the bananas in your bucket without noticing, and beating him is useless.
After a while, it will come to sniff the fake flowers on your slippers... It will also steal the mineral water in your pocket and cleverly step on it (*^__^*) The 40-minute jungle crossing was supposed to be the highlight of this package. But they just let Yunluo and An Chuyu wander around this wilderness hillside with no scenery at all.
They crossed a not-so-clear stream, crossed a not-too-deep ditch, and turned a small slope covered with weeds. However, the elephant handler that Yunluo and An Chu met seemed to have a very good relationship with the big guy. He cut a banana and picked a melon for the elephant along the way, and let the elephant leave the group to wander around, chattering with it all the way.
They looked like a pair of inseparable buddies... but the two pairs were very well behaved, staying close to each other all the way! The sun was really strong, and the half-hour of no cover made the elephant ride a bit boring and uncomfortable. In order to delay time, Yunluo and Anchu's elephant owner simply let his elephant go.
The big guy then carried Yunluo and An Chuyu to compete with another elephant for bamboo leaves... Yunluo's God. Those poor bamboos were snapped at the waist by them! This scene really looks like winter, the mountains are dry and lifeless.
Each elephant has a very good relationship with its owner. They will follow the trainer closely and do whatever the owner tells them to do. So many times, they seem to be performing. However, they also seem to have their own way of thinking about problems, and the expressions on their faces are very rich.
Look, it's smiling again o(n_n)o Okay, the happy washing is officially started! It will take the initiative to lie down in the stream and let you wash it, so considerate! Everything is cute, but the light pink eyes are a bit scary. They look too abrupt, like a mutant albino...
This elephant park has two packages, both priced at 850 baht per person, but Yunluo and Anchuyu's package is half a day for three hours, while their package is a full day for seven hours. In addition to riding elephants, they also have ox cart rides, bamboo rafting and other activities, and they also give you a free lunch. It sounds much more valuable than a half-day package.
The travel agency explained that it was because they did not have as much contact with elephants as Yunluo and Anchuyu! Many travel agencies will add some extra activities to these two basic packages, such as chartering a car to the tiger kingdom and the long-necked village. But they will not encourage you to participate in these activities.
If you are smart, you might even tell me honestly, "In fact, the so-called Long-Neck Village is just a place where one or two families from the real Long-Neck tribe sit at the entrance of the village to do small business and let you see it to satisfy your curiosity. If you want to take pictures and visit, you have to buy their items..."
(It should be said that Thai people are quite honest in doing business. You see, they told Yunluo all this, and they even took the initiative to discount our second package by 100 baht! Later, when I talked to other people, I found that they also had such discounts.) What kind of rafting is rafting, and what kind of wilderness is a jungle. (To be continued..)
