The Yang Tree is a dipterocrap tree within the ground of Wat Chedi Luang. It was planted by Chao Kawila when he established Chiang Mai in 1796. The tree planting marked the establishment of the city of Chiang Mai. Today the Yang Tree towers over the City Pillar Shrine, which houses the City Pillar. The City Pillar was moved to the spot under the Yang Tree from Wat Sadue Muang. [an error occurred while processing this directive]
