Chiang Mai Flower Festival
Last Month , I and my family went to Chaingmai provience to visit Buak Hat Park. Location allows Chiang Mai, Thailand to enjoy a large variety of floral species. Besides having a tropical climate suitable for raising of such flowers as orchids, its high-altitude areas and cool winters allow it to be home to cold weather flowers such as carnations. Through the years, as Chiang Mai became more widely known for its magnificent array of floral beauty, it eventually gained the title of 'The Rose of the North'. Though much of Chiang Mai's diverse floral beauty can be witnessed in nature, nowhere is it more impressively accentuated than at the Chiang Mai Flower Festival.The Chiang Mai Flower Festival is similar to other flower festivals hosted around the world such as Taiwan's In-Season Flower Festival, Japan's Sakura Festival, and the Netherlands's and Belgium's Flower Parades. Thailand's first Flower Festival was hosted by Chiang Mai in 1977 and was such a success that it was made into an annual event. Activities include a 'Miss Flower' pageant, a floral floats parade, exhibitions and competitions. The parade is particularly popular and around twenty floats weave through the streets with exotic colours and smells. Many visitors compare the float parade to the rose procession in California, only a little more tropical and flavoursome. Food is not forgotten at this event and gastronomic contests occur regularly as chefs cook up Thai spices in a variety of dishes.The North of Thailand is famous for an abundance of flowering plants, especially temperate zone species, which burst into full bloom towards the end of the cool season. The city (also known as the "Rose of the North") feels like a beautiful, slow-paced northern town even though it is the second largest in Thailand. Many visitors stay before visiting the hill tribes and going trekking.In my opinion, It is a big festival and very interesting for people who comes here. I am very impressive with the flower which illustrates extemly. I hope that
