On the last day in Chiang Mai, we originally planned to spend the whole day shopping, but since the mall opens late and we leave early in the afternoon, we only have a few hours to shop, not to mention we have to pack two suitcases. But Yunluo and An Chuyu were really unwilling to go back like this. We hadn't seen enough of the old city of Chiang Mai, and we hadn't seen the quiet appearance of Tha Pae Gate.

I have never memorized all the alleys in the ancient city. So Yunluo and An Chuyu made a crazy decision - get up early and go to the ancient city! Fortunately, Chiang Mai is small enough, even if you live near the airport, it only takes a few minutes to get to the ancient city. However, when we arrived at Tha Pae Gate, we found that the tragedy was still happening. Today's Tha Pae Gate is worse than the previous few days.

All they could see were cars from the market stalls, and they looked like they were left there the night before. The big joke of Tha Phae Gate made Yunluo and An Chuyu stay in Chiang Mai for many days but never see its charm. In desperation, they could only continue to wander around the ancient city. Then, Yunluo came to this sea of ​​bougainvillea flowers for the fourth time.

Today is a weekday, and the children are still in class, but the school teacher still warmly invites Yunluo and An Chuyu to visit. Later, they found that there was a sign at the school gate, welcoming visitors. While strolling around, many beautiful little girls looked at Yunluo and An Chuyu in the corridor of the teaching building, with clear eyes and pure smiles.

I waved and said hello to Yunluo and An Chuyu from time to time. [Central Airport Plaza] Back to the hotel in the ancient city, I quickly packed all my luggage and put it in the lobby. I confirmed the time to send to the airport with the waiter, and then rushed all the way to [Central Airport Plaza]. It takes only five minutes to walk from the hotel to the mall.

After 2 hours of crazy shopping, Yunluo can responsibly say that if you want to buy skin care products and cosmetics, you can get them all here. It is not for the cheap transfer price, there is no need to transfer from Thailand to Hong Kong for shopping before returning to China (Yunluo and An Chuyu flew directly back to China. But I saw many bees still transferred in Hong Kong).

The prices of skin care products and cosmetics here are not higher than those in Hong Kong. Moreover, it is right next to the airport, so the location is enough for people to buy with peace of mind. Many cosmetic brands sometimes have discounts in shopping malls. Yunluo encountered: 90% off for nars; El also gave a big gift bag to the rich after buying things worth more than 15,000 yuan, which contained a lot of things from nail polish to mascara.

I also bought MAC and Clarins. I can't remember if there was a discount, but they were not expensive. Because time was too tight. So after buying the must-buy ** and jeans, I went straight to eat and refund the tax without stopping for a moment. There are many restaurants in the mall, mostly Japanese and Western. But Yunluo and Anchu met on time.

I could only go to a place similar to "Food Republic" upstairs to charge my card and eat a simple Thai meal. If you have time to stay here for a day, you might as well try many restaurants in the mall. The environment is remarkable. Yunluo and An Chuyu were like two wild boars running wildly, killing all the way from the mall to the hotel and stuffing all the spoils.

I got on the bus and headed to the airport. The drive from the hotel to the airport is less than 5 minutes. Before leaving, I bought a pair of ceramic elephants as souvenirs of the hotel, which I now keep at home for cards and business cards. The New Year decoration outside the Venetian Hotel. The huge square is scattered with countless goats, which have gathered many patterns and colors with Chinese elements.

Under the bright spring sun, the golden trees swaying in the golden light make it look quite pleasing to the eye! There have also been great changes. Generally speaking, the development of Macau in recent years is really rapid. It feels like it has risen from a shabby and mixed place with a strong smell of copper rust to a pure luxurious city in just a few years... Hehe, Longlong eating a lollipop!

This is a set of joyful paintings combined with reliefs, with dragons, fish, plum blossoms... In one of the paintings, a lot of US dollars are still flowing out, all of which are worth one thousand yuan. The girl from the Yunluo family hugged them tightly. o(n_n)oThis river that runs through the towns is real.

People can take these boats that look like Venice boats and sway slowly in the river while listening to the boat captain singing... There are these European-style buildings on both sides of the river. In fact, the hotel rooms are above the blue sky, but what Yunluo and An Chuyu saw here is a lively and jubilant town.

However, those two days, there were always naughty children's golden horse balloons that were stuck in the "Heaven". There were balloons in almost every square. Yunluo and An Chuyu sincerely suspected that those children who loved to explore deliberately released the o(n_n)o balloon-shaped twelve zodiac animals, which were distributed throughout the mall.

When Yunluo took the photos, he only noticed the shapes and backgrounds. DreamWorks's advertisements were dazzling. Last year, there were many real and fake animal stars. This year, they seemed to be even more exciting! It seemed like there was really a snowy world for children to play, a bit like Disney.

There are animal stars in the paintings, snow slides, snow castles and other ice and snow worlds everywhere. You can also have dinner with lions, hippos, penguins... There are many three-dimensional shapes of these guys, and some are real people, but there are always many tourists queuing up to take photos with the real people, so Yunluo will not join in the fun o(n_n)o King Julian.

My daughter's favorite! I remember that we were in a hurry to catch the plane, and Yunluo and I stopped for it at the same time. My eldest brother's face suddenly fell o(n_n)o Yeah, you are indispensable everywhere! This is Yunluo's favorite o(n_n)o shopping mall window. It's only been a week.

When I went there on the 15th, the mall was still selling winter clothes at a heavy discount. By the time I came back on the third day of the Lunar New Year, most of the people had changed into colorful spring clothes… The spring clothes weren't discounted but the designs were attractive. In the two or three hours of pause, my mother and I actually bought three bright new styles each. o(n_n)o This is really amazing.

Isn’t the balloon man so cute(*^__^*)…The airport trash can. My daughter asked me to take a photo of it. She said that only when people see such a clean and cute trash can will they voluntarily sort their trash o(n_n)o.

In Chiang Mai, the flowers and plants there are indeed the most attractive to Yunluo. In fact, I didn't go to those gardens with blooming flowers to appreciate them specifically, but just stole some in the corners of the streets and temples to enjoy myself. But the sum of these few hours seems to be enough for Yunluo to reminisce, no matter how annoyed Yunluo was by the bright light of the scorching sun.

Yunluo still downloaded some pictures that made him secretly happy! Personally, I feel that Chiang Mai, the small city with many stories in Teresa Teng's songs, is not as magical, beautiful and fresh as the Internet says. However, Yunluo is very impressed by its characteristics of a temple every few steps and spring colors all over the streets. It is also a city of spring.

Compared with it, it is indeed more distinctive... It should be said that the weather and location of some places cannot be copied. In short, Chiang Mai's winter is indeed too beautiful to be full of spring! Yunluo was initially attracted to it by the adjective "Northern Thai Rose", thinking of our Jiangnan in the cold winter.

It was cold and damp, and all the trees were hiding in the fog and haze. But Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Thailand, was sunny and warm, like the early summer or late spring in May or June, with the roses filling the hills and the fragrance of flowers overflowing the city... Just thinking about it was enough to make me feel irresistible, not to mention that Yun Luo was originally a flower-crazy girl who was praised by some people as a flower fairy!

Later, I accidentally learned that it is the world's second best cherry blossom viewing spot in winter. For a moment, I was fascinated by the image of pink cherry blossoms lining the streets and pink clouds floating in the valley! However, the winter was very warm and the Spring Festival was particularly late, so Yunluo and An Chuyu could not visit until mid-February.

Yunluo was very worried about the gap between the middle and early part of the month, because these short ten days were enough for the flowers to wither, especially the cherry blossoms with such delicate petals... I really regretted not knowing more about Chiang Mai in advance. I only needed to move the date forward a week.

Yunluo will be able to smoothly encounter their most grand annual flower festival! (Only after arriving did I realize that these cherry blossoms that seduced Yunluo's dreams were actually nothing special to the locals, just like other flowers blooming in this season. Some elderly people didn't even know about the famous flower that was hyped up on the Internet.

Where is the cherry blossom valley called Kunchangqian... Haha, this is just like the sunset over the long bridge in West Lake that Yunluo and An Chuyu met. It has long been famous overseas and is known as one of the top ten viewing spots in the world, but Yunluo and An Chuyu have turned a blind eye to it and never taken it seriously. Many beautiful scenes are nothing special in the eyes of a familiar mindset!)

I didn't catch the flower festival, nor did I get to see the cherry blossom path and pink flower valley that I had been longing for, but the flowers and plants in Chiang Mai still gave me too many surprises. I was still full of gratitude to God for letting me meet them! How amazing, these colorful elves! Looking at them, I always suspected that they created the splendor of colors.

Instead of colors giving them gorgeous or elegant shapes... The first surprise that surrounded Yunluo in a huge color scene was the Bhuping Palace on Doi Suthep Mountain. The distance from the city to it was a bit far and winding. Chiang Mai is a typical mountainous area. Bhuping, the summer palace of the Thai royal family, is located at the neck of Doi Suthep Mountain.

Only its huge and gorgeous garden was open to the public, so once they entered the palace gate with a huge photo of the old king hanging at the door, Yunluo and An Chuyu quickly fell into a sea of ​​colors! Countless flowers were in full bloom, and everywhere they looked was a sea of ​​colorful and fragrant flowers. Yunluo could not describe the shock it brought to her.

Just like Yunluo's fair evaluation after calming down, the preciousness of this royal garden does not lie in how precious its flowers are or how rich its varieties are, but in the colors of each flower! Because the colors of each variety are so amazing, many colors you have never imagined are displayed by that clean and pure garden.

The pure blue sky made it stand out clearly. Yun Luo had never thought that even ordinary pea flowers could bloom with such colorful flowers. And they could even produce healthy fruits... red roses that shone bright red in the sun, and black roses whose petals were as thick and elegant as purple-black velvet curtains.

There are pink roses that are clustered and dangled into heavy flower strings. There are also the extremely elegant light purple-red-gray roses that are truly rose-gray… Some of them are gorgeously red and yellow, while others are graceful and low-key and live alone on the branches; some hide among the branches as if shy, while others stand proudly and upright towards the scorching sun.

Some flowers are as big as bowls, heavy and majestic, while some small ones are light yellow and as small as fingernails, delicate and exquisite. The light and thin clusters look like little girls hugging each other and laughing, while the solitary ones snuggle up to each other like lovers, sweet and warm... There are endless bright surprises in this rose garden alone.

Yunluo's hands were sore and her neck was stiff from patting. She was filled with joy all the time! Really, really, just that light gray-red rose hiding alone in the hills behind no one was enough to make Yunluo's heart beat for a long time. Do you know how much Yunluo's heart was moved by its changing colors under the sun?

It has a kind of natural charm. The dark side is the thousand-year-old sorrow of the oil-paper umbrellas in the long alley. The bright side is the rose-gray long dress of 17-year-old Maggie that dazzles everyone's eyes. This is the mysterious color hidden deep in Yunluo's heart for many years. The moment Yunluo saw it, he seemed to see his past life...

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Yunluo has always believed that flowers and plants have souls. Otherwise, why can these ordinary flowers growing in the royal flower garden be so beautiful and bright? Even the morning glory can be as big as a small bowl and as blue as a gemstone, which will make your heart beat faster. Not to mention the fuchsia, herbaceous crabapple, and yellow and white crystal chrysanthemum, which can change their colors and shapes in a myriad of ways.

The red golden lotus and giant lilies! The slopes along the entire garden road were planted into a real flower wall. On the side of the path, multi-colored crabapples swayed in a sea of ​​flowers; on the stone steps, orange-red firecracker flowers climbed into a long tunnel; white crystal chrysanthemums were sometimes mixed in with a rich and fragrant golden lily.

The dahlias were so bright that they could eclipse the sunlight. The red flowers that Yunluo couldn't name were even more dazzling than the flowing blood... Yunluo appreciated the luxurious style of the royal palace in a hurry, but he gained a lot from it.

Chiang Mai is the orchid garden of Idayuan. Yunluo should have gone to at least one orchid garden to see their beauty. Yunluo didn't go, but she didn't feel sorry, because they appeared in front of her as frequently as those three-leaf plums planted in the middle of the road as a divider or appearing in the streets and alleys.

Whether in hotels, bars, temples, or street eaves, pagodas, or hair, people love to use them as the protagonists of flower arrangements. Their freshly exposed light green roots shine on the trunks, the center of the eaves, and under the corridors, while those freshly picked ones are bright and colorful in the middle of the fruit plates and on the black hair of the girls!

The bright white and pink purple are delicate and beautiful, while the dark purple or violet ones are clear in color and distinct in veins, like pieces of simple floral cloth printed with patterns created by nature... Pea flowers can have dark purple, pure bright white, light apricot red and various other colors. The three-leaf plum has light green, snow-white, beauty pink, rouge red, grape purple, tomato orange and western red.

Dark wine red and other gorgeous clusters formed a long dragon of colors shuttling across the gray road. When riding on Chiang Mai's unique songthaew or tuk-tuk, Yunluo's mind was always filled with speculation about the flowers and trees on the street, because Yunluo couldn't see clearly and couldn't imagine what kind of flowers those fiery red and bright yellow flowers blooming on the tall tree trunks were?

Sometimes they look completely bare, with only clusters of bright golden and glittering red flowers surrounding them. Sometimes they look like azaleas, with many lush green leaves. They look like azaleas and frangipani, but they are tall and straight, unlike any of them.

Yunluo likes the charming moment when they suddenly catch her eyes in the sunlight when she is walking on the street. At that time, Yunluo can use the camera to zoom in on them one by one and stare at them from a distance and admire them up close. Although she still has no idea what they are, at least she can see their appearance clearly.

Knowing that there are distinct differences between these reds, and there are also very distinct outlines between the yellows. The flowers in the temple are equally lush and rich, but they seem to be fundamentally different from those royal flowers! Yunluo nervously discovered that the Impatiens there grew particularly powerfully.

Their petals, gleaming with fluorescence, seemed to be coated with a layer of mysterious brilliance. The albizzia flowers there were always in full bloom, like small round balls with thorns, bright red and charming, making people's hearts flutter. The colors of the crabapples and three-leaf plums were so diverse that Yun Luo was dazzled, and the red frangipani was so bright that it seemed to be dripping with blood.

Those unknown red flowers twinkling among the particularly green branches and leaves are simply the embodiment of clusters of blazing flames. Even the light green thin leaves swaying in the wind under the shadows are so thin and transparent that they make people feel pity. I really don’t know why these temple flowers can be so bright and beautiful when they are dressed up.

Can it be so charming and soft when it is elegant? However, the most charming part of Chiang Mai is still on the streets. In the intervals between visiting temples or taking a leisurely walk after dinner, you can walk slowly with your camera on your back, without any noise or crowds. No one comes and goes to greet and smile.

Under the bright sunshine, suddenly your eyes encounter a refreshing and simple glass flower arrangement. It is quietly stagnant on a rattan table covered with glass. There is no one beside the table. The rising sun shines on it and the quietness around it, bright and peaceful. You smile warmly at it and turn away. (To be continued.
