西沙瓦寺，素可泰历史公园里，泰国

历史悠久的素可泰镇是古代重要的大都市中心，也是泰国最迷人的目的地之一。素可泰（Sukhothai）意为“幸福的黎明”，是繁荣社区和建筑技艺完美融合的典范。历史公园周围环绕着湖泊、草坪和郁郁葱葱的树木。公园里有一座古代宫殿和26座雄伟寺庙的遗迹，包括今天这张照片中的西沙瓦寺。这座寺庙是公园的主要景点之一，融合了华富里的建筑设计和印度教的风格。素可泰镇及其周围建筑被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。如果你想体验泰国丰富的文化，那就去素可泰历史公园吧。

Wat Sri Sawai in Sukhothai Historical Park, Thailand

Welcome to Sukhothai Historical Park, one of Thailand's most spectacular UNESCO World Heritage sites. The park is dotted with ancient temples, the remains of a palace, and towering Buddha statues—within its boundaries is the historic town of Sukhothai, an important metropolitan hub in the 13th and 14th centuries. The name translates as 'the dawn of happiness' and you can spend many happy hours here, strolling among the beautiful lawns, trees, and lakes. The temple on our homepage is Wat Sri Sawai, one of the oldest on the site, founded in the late 12th or early 13th century. Sukhothai was the capital of the first Kingdom of Siam more than 700 years ago and this historic site continues to offer a window onto what is sometimes seen as a golden age of Thai civilization.
