Wat Saphan Hin

Shapanxin Temple, which is known as the "stone bridge", has become an ancient site, located at the top of the hill west of the ancient city, the site is only the ruined temple stone pillars and Buddha statues. It overlooks the ancient city of Sukhothai and is also an excellent sunrise viewing point.

Shapanxin Temple is on the mountain, it is easy to miss if you don't pay attention. I walked past it. It was the park administrator who took me to the foot of the mountain at Shapanxin Temple. Look at the stone road on the right, that is the famous stone bridge up the mountain. During the big day, there is no legendary thrill. After jumping up and down the mountain, he reverently circled around and went down the mountain. The tall Lifo witnessed the immortal achievements of Langan Heng the Great for the country and the people. On the mountain, you can see the panoramic view of Sukhothai. Unfortunately, the high myopia is not very clear. Someone made a special trip to see the sunrise.

On the west side of the old town of Sukhothai, like the small temples next to it, it is located on the mountain to the west. The location is relatively remote, it is best to have a bicycle. Then I started climbing the mountain, which was a stone paved road. It is said that it is good to watch the sunrise here.

A major site on the outskirts of Sukhotai Historic Park, 4 kilometers from the central area, is accessible by bicycle along a simple route. Shapanxin Monastery is on a hill. It's easy to climb. It's all big stone steps. It's inconvenient to live in the central area of the ancient city too early at sunrise. In the afternoon, you can ride there happily in the sunshine. Similarly, 100 tickets plus 10 bicycle tickets. There is a great Buddha on the hill, looking solemnly and quietly at the town, overlooking the whole forest. The rest of the ruins in this area are relatively pagodas on low hills. On the return journey, you can ride back from the highway in the forest to the central area of the historic park. Along the way, you can feel the forest, the small farm, and the Buddhist pagoda and temple ruins passing by from time to time.

Getting up at 6 a.m., driving to the foot of the mountain, climbing up the hillside along a remnant wall, the tall statue of Buddha looks more solemn in the moonlight. However, the more magnificent scenery appeared after a long wait. At sunrise, the earth was filled with golden glory and beautiful.

Shapanxin Temple is located in the western part of the historic park. The cost per person is 100 baht. Every car ignores the baht. It's a fairly large climb, surrounded by scaffolding, climbing a steep 300-meter passage, where you can see a standing Buddha statue, which is also considered a place worshipped by King Ramhamon's white elephant.

This site is very famous in Sukhothai. Several major Buddhas in Southeast Asia are worth visiting. Unlike the large scale in the city, tutu cars are the cheapest. Friends say that this is a must-come attraction. It is well-deserved and worth visiting.
