The character of the walk
Stone, brick and wood help distinguish the neighbouring temple complexes. Chedi Luang’s large chedi contrasts with the more intimate Phan Tao. These are active religious places, where clothing, shoes and photography follow local instructions. Visits inside halls are not included in walking time
Landmarks along the way
Wat Phra Singh: a temple complex with Lanna architecture inside the old walls; Wat Chedi Luang: a temple with a massive partly ruined brick chedi; Wat Phan Tao: a wooden temple beside Chedi Luang
Wat Chiang Man: a temple in the northern old town with an elephant-supported chedi; Wat Chiang Yuen: a temple with a white chedi beyond the northern moat
