There are still many new and unusual things, such as those skirts with crotches that are so big that they reach the calves, and the waistbands of men's pants that are so big that they can fit a baby elephant. The streets are full of gorgeous silver ornaments and gorgeous paintings, dragons, horses, snakes and elephants woven with hemp ropes that can be twisted at will, and the most eye-catching and beautiful soap flowers.
They are so beautiful and attractive, every flower and every box is full of gorgeous flowers with rich fragrance. The flowers are so lifelike that it is almost impossible to tell the real from the fake. Their owners stand quietly by and carve them on the spot with a carving knife. The jade-white round soaps are among the rapidly falling fragments.
Soon it became a perfect white flower on a branch in Chiang Mai... Yunluo and An Chuyu accidentally discovered a Chinatown on the night of New Year's Eve. Wow, it was like stepping into a world of color, fragrance and taste when they walked in there! The crowded food stalls were lined up on both sides of the street market, and the crowds were crowded.
All kinds of colors swirl like surging waves on this long and narrow street. Red couplets under red lanterns, red lions under red stages, people buying and selling and playing are all surrounded by this dazzling color light, and some real and fake beauties who take the opportunity to promote activities are wearing heavy makeup and gorgeous clothes, looking beautiful among these lustful delicacies.
The festive red cheongsams they wore shone brightly and dazzlingly! Lively and quiet, some vendors kept frying the golden and green food, some shopkeepers focused on displaying their goods; some relied on fancy clothes to attract people's attention, and some relied on earth-shaking noises to attract customers!
Look, look, the fat uncle over there is making dragon beard candies on the spot. His powerful and twisting dance moves to the beat have attracted so many tourists... For the first four nights, Yunluo and An Chuyu wandered around the streets and alleys around the ancient city. On the first night, as soon as they got off the plane and arranged their accommodation, Yunluo and An Chuyu took a taxi straight to the Thapae Gate of the ancient city.
After having a delicious dinner with Chiang Mai style, they went to the night market. Before leaving, they read the experience of predecessors and learned not to buy things at the night market because these things can be bought at only one-third of the price at the Sunday night market. However, Yunluo and Anchu met for the past five days and happened to not encounter the weekend night market.
So Yunluo and his friends bought things while they were looking. After walking half a street, they picked up a lot of things such as soap flowers, big skirt pants, grass dragons, paper lanterns and postcards. Yunluo and An Chuyu joked that the Thai baht was really worthless. Such a big 1,000 baht was gone in a flash o(n_n)o!
The biggest regret of Yunluo and An Chuyu that night was that they ate too much at the restaurant for dinner. Their stomachs could not fit in any more food and they could only watch those delicious cakes, rice and juices slip past them again and again... Missing those things, Yunluo and An Chuyu headed straight for Songde Temple as soon as the sun faded the next day.
After arriving, everyone immediately ordered a portion of the food they had chosen last night, and we ate until we burped repeatedly... Not to mention the two nights of New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month. Looking at the temptations of food all over the street, we really didn't know where to start, and we all wanted to try it.
But because of my appetite, I couldn't eat after trying a few dishes (>_<) Oh, these fruits and foods are really delicious, but I don't know why the food cooked by Chiang Mai people is all sweet, even the green vegetables are sweet. Sweet and sour, sweet and spicy, fish, shrimp, vegetables and fruits.
Anyway, it was either sweet or sour and spicy. The sweet and sour tastes were both sweet but not greasy, sour and refreshing, very pure and delicious, but Yunluo and An Chuyu, whose stomachs mainly eat salty food, could not tolerate such continuous sweet and sour tastes. After two days, Yunluo and his friends hardly felt hungry.
So Yunluo and An Chuyu were envious of the delicious food on the street during those two days, and they simply said goodbye to the delicious food on the last night and moved to Nimmanhaemin Road. Nimmanhaemin Road is praised as the most bourgeois place in Chiang Mai, and it is said that many shops, bars, cafes and hotels in the alleys are designed by designers.
Opened by artists and performing stars, this is the alley that can best satisfy the hearts of romantic little girls. This statement seems to be quite accurate, because Yunluo's family Yuer was attracted after visiting it. Not only did she not go to the night zoo for it, she also dragged Yunluo to visit and visit, until she walked through the street, she still ran to ask their locals.
"Is there a Ningman Road ahead?" When she heard the answer, she said with a smile, "Let's go back and walk again!" Yunluo's day. Yunluo really walked around all day. After waiting for a long time, when the young lady finally agreed to go back, Yunluo immediately stopped a taxi. No matter how much the taxi fare was, it was twice as much as when Yunluo and An Chuyu went there, he immediately ran back.
Hotel... But to be honest, that Ningman Road does have some color! Yunluo will not praise the things in those shops, because there are not many unique things. Yunluo and An Chuyu also have such small boutiques in many places in China, which is not rare. Ningman Road is especially the facade design of those shops.
The twin banyan trees are brightly lit in the night, with their exposed roots intertwined and illuminated by thousands of pearl lights, looking unusually beautiful and open, like a pair of lovers under a spell, calling for freedom; the two-story-high black cat is playfully carrying a Chanel bag.
The counter of the restaurant where my friends must go sit is made of an old suitcase. Under the glass plate of the table is a huge old gear, and there are many beautiful cartoons hanging on the wall. Some shops have pink decorations in front of them, such as pink chairs, pink models, pink bicycles and pink human-shaped flower pots.
There are many sky lanterns hanging on the tops of the tall trees beside the road. Their long cylindrical light orange sways and flickers among the dark green branches and leaves, forming a mysterious and beautiful picture. If you look up for a long time, you will have the illusion of being taken to the sky. A mother and son sit in front of a window with a red heart posted on it, drinking juice.
This bright and eye-catching red heart is in contrast with the cute little potted plants in front of the mother and son in the window. The heart, mother and son, and potted plants form a very warm picture; a couple is whispering on a bench piled with flowers, a cute girl is smiling and taking photos next to a simple and honest doll, and a low wall on the street is painted into a cute green-faced monster.
The sign of an ice cream shop is a super cute girl doll in a pink dress; a group painting of giant white hands that are funny enough to be transformed into cute people is posted on a bright and transparent floor-to-ceiling window; a white teacup man hides in the gaps between green plants and raises one arm to beckon you to come closer; many store signs are very eye-catching and ostentatious.
Some of the English shop names were strange, and everything looked very unique. Even the small bungalow where the bank's MT machine was placed was decorated in a very beautiful bright purple, not to mention the windows hidden in the narrow alleys. A bookstore with a beautiful little elephant on the counter attracted Yuer to go in and browse for a long time.
Yunluo, the friend who claimed to collect books in all languages of different countries, obviously could not understand Thai at all, but in the end he bought a copy of "Jimmy" for more than 300 baht with great interest... Finally, the petty bourgeois girl couldn't resist Yunluo's pleading and agreed to return to the hotel, saying that she was quite satisfied with her life that day.
But before that, she was obviously unhappy because her father had locked her up for most of the day. Well, it was this Nimman Road that suited her taste and made her forget all the unhappiness o(n_n)o Oh, this Chiang Mai night is really a perfect match for the two of us! They actually like this kind of life.
Have a sweet sleep in a place with warm and sunny weather without rain until you wake up naturally (of course, it is best not to have breakfast when you wake up naturally, so you can get up directly to look for a delicious lunch, which is a real late rise!) Then after lunch, sit in the hotel, rest, listen to music, watch movies, and spend time to your heart's content.
Finally, in the evening, go out to greet the golden time of the day with the sunset glow! And this so-called golden time is when there are delicious food all over the streets and countless novel and romantic things for them to enjoy after eating and drinking... Chiang Mai has all these conditions in winter.
So in their eyes, Chiang Mai night is full of comfortable charm, it is beautiful and colorful o(n_n)o As for Yunluo, he likes to go to such a street market once or twice. But Yunluo went to the same place three times in a row. To be honest, Yunluo was already very impatient, so on the last night, Yunluo shook off the boss and tried his best to encourage his friends to go to the night zoo to explore the novelty. But it was a pity that this charming and petty Nimman Road wasted Yunluo's little tricks!
Chiang Mai night, you are so charming (>_<)! Yunluo and An first met on the night of dinner on Nimman Road. In addition to the apple ice cream and two drinks, Yunluo also ordered a Japanese set meal, but her friend only ate a box of French fries and said she was full. She fell in love with this restaurant at first sight, and she insisted on returning to eat even though she had walked a long way away (>_<).
Pink window, everything is pink. Pink kittens, pink chairs, pink flowers, pink wooden figures and pink bicycles. They are very attractive from the outside, but there is nothing to see inside! The big banyan tree at the intersection of Ningman Road, these exposed roots are really eye-catching against the small light bulbs on the tree.
As soon as you see this small square, you will feel a kind of love. It is so nice to sit and chat with friends under this tree on a cool night. The fragrant soap flowers in Chiang Mai Night Market are available for sale on the street. But the exquisiteness of the flowers varies greatly. I have never found this one since I went to Yunluo. Her flowers are the most beautiful and diverse.
The packaging was also very considerate of Yunluo and An Chuyu (the flowers were not easy to carry on a long journey, and Yunluo found that they were a little damaged when she took them home without fixing them…) The "sky lanterns" hanging high on the trees, dancing in the wind among the dense green leaves, were very beautiful! The mango rice that Yunluo and An Chuyu had on their first night was really delicious.
Luo and Anchuyu would eat it every day in Chiang Mai. It was very cheap in Chinatown, only 7 yuan a portion. You can pour coconut milk in the cup as you like. Yunluo likes to pour it on. The smell of glutinous rice, mango and coconut milk is the real taste of mango rice.
(A cup of mango juice with half a mango is also 7 yuan, and the mangoes that Yunluo and An first met on the day they bought from the farmers' market also cost 7 or 8 yuan each!) A scene on Ningman Road. This friend usually doesn't let Yunluo take pictures when he grows up. He must be really happy now. This mood is suitable for these two kids o(n_n)o.
Chinatown has all kinds of stir-fried dishes, including fried rice, fried noodles, fried noodles, and some stir-fried dishes that Yunluo can't name. The Thai stir-fried dishes are really fragrant and tempting, and there are many delicious dishes in the main dishes! The tempting grilled squid is very big. It seems that something is stuffed in my stomach. Looking at this, I want to have one, right? O(n_n)o.
The big pot of porridge is very eye-catching. It contains vegetables, seafood, meat slices and many other things. It looks very tempting and tastes good, but it is also sweet... The lively lion dance performance in Chinatown has a red stage behind them. Someone is performing on it, and the audience is crowded below.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Every time I pass by here, it feels like I'm on a bus on my way to get off work... In addition to the lion dance, there are also big-headed dolls with huge breasts, who are supported by people and act as the God of Wealth to ask for money from each house! A lamp stall in Chinatown, full of cute cartoon lamps, but these things should all come from us.
Many products in Chiang Mai Night Market look like Yiwu products. On New Year's Eve, many products were on sale. Yunluo remembers that a friend bought a triangle bag with local characteristics for only two yuan... The street artist who painted elephants was selling them while doing business! The colors of these elephants were very bright, and it felt like his paint was a little special.
At the two ends of the food stalls, where the crowds were a little less crowded, there were entertainment activities such as playing with balloons and throwing sandbags. There were also some transvestites who were doing activities in the crowded places and asked people to take free photos with them. When they came to Layu's childhood friend, he thought they were two beautiful girls and refused to take photos with them. As a result, Yunluo missed a chance to take photos for nothing.
(I am embarrassed to point the camera at those who stare at you, not to mention that they are two stunningly beautiful ladyboys (>_<)) The stewardesses of AirAsia are also playing the lucky draw game. Their graceful figures in festive red cheongsams are no less beautiful than those of ladyboys, but the prizes of their company are really too stingy, just some ballpoint pens and paper fans...
These soap flowers are originally small white circles, which are carved out first and then dyed with various colors. Some stall owners can carve them by themselves, saying that they can carve one in ten minutes... A restaurant decoration. Many restaurants in the old city of Chiang Mai have signs at the door saying "Chinese menu available". I guess our people are really the biggest guests of the Thai people o(n_n)o.
Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't spend 200 yuan for each meal there. But the food was really good... The black wooden box of soap flowers is also a handicraft! The small fabrics in Chiang Mai Night Market are very colorful and cute, but I don't know if they are real o(n_n)o all kinds of small elephants.
They are so cheap that they only cost a few yuan. These seem to be elastic bands for braiding hair, and they even have little bells! On the first day Yunluo and An met in the hotel, there was a pink flower pot with a human face on the street of Ningman Road. This shape is so unique. Elephant fabric. The scene of a window on Ningman Road.
This Nimman Road is good in every way except the crowded traffic on the street, which is really unsightly. Why don't they turn it into a pedestrian street? It feels like it's just a small alley, and the street is quite narrow. There are many restaurants like this on Nimman Road, and its signboards are quite unique, right? o(n_n)o The decoration of this window, isn't it very trendy?
A beautiful purple cottage. A few ATMs standing alone. A small porcelain elephant in a bookstore. Elephants play an important role in Thai history and culture. They are not only mounts on the battlefield and good helpers in engineering, but also symbols of the king. Therefore, in Thailand, elephant-shaped handicrafts are everywhere!
There are even cuter ones, but they are not elephants o(n_n)o This kind of scene is really petty bourgeois, in fact, it is just some simple flowers and plants and a few decorations, but seeing chairs surrounded by flowers like this makes people want to sit and chat... A wall of the restaurant where Yunluo and An Chuyu had dinner.
These paintings are hung in a messy way, but they look quite tasteful. The decoration at the staircase on the second floor is a complete mix and match, and there is even a ping-pong board! Ping-pong boards are not uncommon. There is such a funny Snow White opposite the table where Yunluo and Anchu meet. This is the old machine dining table that my friend liked. The counter on its left is made of many old suitcases...
I don't know why Yuer loves it so much. In fact, it is a full glass structure when viewed from the outside. It is probably because of the scenery outside the house. On one side is a big tree square full of small lights, and on the other side is a street with scattered shops. There is also such a guy standing at the main entrance o(n_n)o.
The guide says that Nimman Road is between Chiang Mai University and the old city, so people who go to Chiang Mai University will want to go to Nimman Road, and vice versa. This is a signpost in Chiang Mai University. Yunluo took a picture of it to find Nimman Road, but now he put it here specifically to remind his compatriots.
"It's better to ask more along the way, because it really takes less than 20 minutes, and the addition of 20 minutes plus the second intersection to the right is very misleading!" In fact, you need to keep going straight to the second intersection and see the eye-catching sign of two big-headed iron dolls on the lawn in front of a hotel, then you will reach Ningman Road. (To be continued...)
