Dating back to the late 7th century, the 'Temple of the Golden Mountain' crowns a forested hilltop southwest of central Chiang Mai. The sacred sanctuary is renowned for its colossal 17-meter seated Buddha statue adorned in white and gold, visible across the surrounding valley. Pilgrims flock to pray before ancient chedi relics and make offerings of jasmine garlands, while open terraces offer panoramic views over Royal Park Rajapruek.
