| Luang
Prabang is the jewel of Indochina, and a UNESCO World
Heritage Site since 1995. The olden royal city is bordered
by mountains at the junction of the Mekong and its tributary,
the Khan River. In the centre of the city is Mount Phousi
with stunning views of the adjoining temples and hills.
Luang Pabang is a remote paradise and one of the world's
popular heritage sites. It is famous for its historical
temples and grand architecture. The temples mostly boast
French architecture.
Luang Prabang is an exceptional illustration of the
fusion of traditional architecture and Lao urban structures
with those built by the European colonial establishment
in the 19th and 20th centuries. Its sole, remarkably
well-preserved townscape illustrates a key period in
the blending of these two diverse cultural traditions.
Wat Xieng Thong is one of the most inspiring temples,
adorned with colored glass and gold. Evidence to the
fact that it had been the imperial capital until 1975,
the royal palace there contains fine artwork and gifts
made for former kings.
