Wat Chedi Luang |
 Wat Chedi Luang, built about 600 years ago is one of the most impressive temples of Chiang Mai. Wat Chedi Luang’s massive Lanna-style chedi (pagoda) is visible from any part of the city. The chedi was damaged in an earthquake in 1545 and now only two-thirds of it remains. Wat Chedi Luang was the home of the Emerald Buddha, Thailand’s most sacred cultural treasure. The original Emerald Buddha is now in Bangkok, and a jade replica is sitting in its place. The temple is located on Phrapokklao Road.
