Luang Prabang

Mai Kim Duyên

The UNESCO Town of Luang Prabang World Heritage Site encompasses Luang Prabang and 33 adjacent communities. These places house an astonishing collection of cultural and architectural treasures that have defined Laos over the centuries.


Wat Xieng Thong, or "Temple of the Golden City," is an excellent example of this. It is a 16th-century structure that not only displays exquisite specimens of Laos arts and crafts, but also serves as a historical site where all Laos kings were originally crowned. Mount Phou Si, which is home to Wat Chom Si and is located in the heart of town, offers one of the best views of the town after you reach the top.


Luang Prabang is best explored on foot or by bike, getting lost in the narrow alleyways where temples, residences, and colonial structures all blend together in a peaceful ambience.
