Introduction to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha: The full name of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) is "Jiawan Nasesararanan Buddhist Temple", also known as the Huguo Temple. The Buddhist temple covers an area of 21,000 square meters. It was first built in 1782 and has a total of 22 large and small buildings. The temple is a place where the royal family of Bangkok, Thailand, worships the Emerald Buddha, holds the coronation ceremony of the Thai King, and holds Buddhist ceremonies and various sacrificial activities. The main buildings include the Jade Buddha Hall, Xintian Pavilion, Bell Tower, Sutra Hall, Hall of the Former Kings, Buddha Bone Hall, Rathana Shwedagon Pagoda, Sutra Hall, Spire Buddhist Hall, Columbarium, etc. There are also pagodas standing like a forest in the courtyard, with different shapes and bright colors, which are very spectacular. The Jade Buddha enshrined in the temple is 66 centimeters high. It sits on the altar in a "meditative" posture, with a nine-story spire-shaped canopy above its head. The Jade Buddha made of jasper is priceless and is listed as Thailand's three national treasures together with the Reclining Buddha and the Golden Buddha in Bangkok.
