In recent years Chiang Mai has become an increasingly modern city. It has many attractions for the thousands of foreign visitors who visit each year. Chiang Mai's historic importance is derived from its important strategic location on an ancient trade route. Long before the modern influx of foreign visitors, the city served as an important centre for handcrafted goods, umbrellas, jewelry (particularly silver) and woodcarving.
