There is an inverted bell-shaped stupa in Parong Temple, Thailand. What's the point?

Bangkok is the largest city and the capital of Thailand. Among many tourist cities in Thailand, Bangkok can capture the hearts of tourists as quickly as possible. Walking on the streets of Bangkok, watching the bustling crowd, shuttling between all kinds of neon-lit tall buildings, walking in the crowded and lively night market full of street flavor. Feel the all-encompassing charm of this city with more than 400 temples.

There are many temples in Bangkok, and temples in Bangkok have become ubiquitous buildings. In other cities, you may meet love at the corner, but at the corner of Bangkok, you will definitely meet a golden Buddha statue or a resplendent temple or stupa.

These exquisite temple buildings are symbols of Thai history, art and culture. How can you come to Thailand without visiting several temples with religious charm? For example, Jade Buddha Temple, Golden Buddha Temple, Reclining Buddha Temple, Wangzheng Temple and Tai Su Temple are all temples frequented by tourists coming to Bangkok.

Besides, Parong Temple is also a temple worth visiting. This Parong Temple is located in Tunwuli District, on the west bank of Chao Phraya River, at the foot of Monument Bridge.

The interesting thing about this temple is that there is an inverted bell-shaped stupa in the temple, or it may be because there is a turtle mountain around the temple, and there is an artificial lake on the mountain, where many turtles are raised, so visitors here can also feel the pleasure of feeding turtles.

It is understood that Parong Temple was built during the reign of King Gessa Dabodindra of Thailand. As a Buddhist temple, this Parong Temple is no different from other temples. There are halls and halls dedicated to Buddha statues, temples where monks practice, stupas, libraries and museums where Buddhist books are placed, and so on.

But compared with other Buddhist temples, there will definitely be some differences. The overall color of Parong Temple is that bright color. There are fences made of ancient weapons such as spears, swords, knives and axes, and the height is about 1.5 meters. Because this strange fence is the fence of a Buddhist temple, it is absolutely novel.
