	Wat Phra Sing Maha Wora Wiharn Wat Phra Sing Maha Wora Wiharn, Chiang Mai's most famous temple after Doi Suthep - and probably the most lovely, dates from 1345. The temple compound includes the Lai Kham chapel with exquisite woodcarvings and murals, and a repository with striking base relief. The beautiful library is a Lanna-style building with stucco angels that convey tranquility and delicacy. Behind the viharn is a wooden bot with a stunning stucco and gold entrance. Behind is a Sukhothai style chedi built by King Pha Yu to hold the ashes of his father.
	Wat Chedi Luang Wora Wiharn Wat Chedi Luang Wora Wiharn, maybe the most impressive temple of Chiang Mai , is known for its huge chedi. Built in 1401 and raised to a height of 86m in 1454 by King Tilokaraja (the founder of Wat Chet Yot ), it was partially destroyed and reduced to its present height of 42m during a massive earthquake in 1545. Another feature of the site is the tall gum tree that lies just inside its entrance. According to legend, the fate of the tree is linked to that of the city : when the tree falls, so will Chiang Mai. Also of interest are a Naga (serpent) staircase adorning the main chapel's front porch, and the framed pictures along the walls with English captions explaining the story of the Buddha's life.
	Wat Phan Tao Wat Phan Tao, located next to Wat Chedi Luang, of which old shrine was Hor Kham or the Throne Hall of King Mahotaraprathet . It is a folk style wood building with its arches of the door decorated with fine woodcarvings in pictures of peacocks, the symbol of the northern master.
	Walking Street Walking Street is a very interesting place for many tourists. It starts at Tha Pae Gate to Ratchadamnoen Road . There are a lot of shopping malls and restaurants along this pavement.
