Old Quarter Luang Prabang
čµ°čµ°é天äøXZLuang Prabang is definitely the most beautiful city in Laos! Once the most brilliant ancient capital of Laos, and the most carefully built city in France throughout Southeast Asia's colonial region, the combination of ancient Buddhist culture and modern French romance has made the whole city a world cultural heritage protection unit. But if you just walk through the city, it may be "only in this mountain" and "do not know the true face of Lushan", you must climb Mount Push to see the whole picture of Luang Prabang. Most people come up to see the Mekong sunset in the evening, but if they go up early and overlook the entire city of Luang Prabang in the opposite direction, the sun is tilted west, and the light is the most beautiful. The whole city is hidden in green trees, a red and yellow roof French villa looks particularly charming, surrounded by mountains in the distance, the clear river near the blue sky, smoke is also floating everywhere... At this time, Luang Prabang is the most romantic time!
Sisavangvong Road

å6Laos Foreigner Street is an old and romantic street. Many buildings here were built during the French colonial period, so it also has a French flavor. There are many family hotels in this area. You can choose one to stay in, feel the quiet temple world during the day, and go to the night market on Foreigner Street at night.
Royal Palace
Aariel423The Luang Prabang Palace Museum is located in the center of the old city of Labang, at the foot of Mount Psi, with tickets of 30,000kip. The Palace was built in 1904 and has been the bedding palace of kings of all ages. It is now a museum for people to visit. The Palace is dedicated to Labang Buddha and there are many exhibits to visit. But long sleeves and long pants are required to enter the hall. The greening of the scenery in the courtyard is also quite good and worth a visit. It seems that there are wonderful performances at fixed times.
Alms Giving Ceremony in Luang Prabang
Aariel423More than a decade ago, I wanted to go to Luang Prabang because I was attracted by a photo of alms. Now I finally have the opportunity to go. In order to see the alms, you need to get up early. The weather is super hot in summer. The only advantage is that it is bright when you get up early. After watching the alms, you can go directly to the morning market. Alms are the monks accepting food from people, but the monks only accept the amount they need, and then give the extra food back to other poor people who need it more. Feel the baptism of the soul and the power of faith in the simple ceremony.
Wat Xieng Thong
čµ°čµ°é天äøXZWat Xieng Thong, the only royal temple in Luang Prabang, has the "Tree of Life" that reveals the cycle of karma, the reclining Buddha, and the old abbot as the three treasures of the temple.
It is said that before the temple was built, there was a towering tree here. Later, this "Tree of Life" was painted on the back wall of the main hall. The patterns on it are all legends of karma and reincarnation in Buddhism.
The old abbot is on the right hand side of the Buddha in the main hall, and a photo of the old abbot is placed next to him, which is lifelike.
The reclining Buddha is not easy to find. It is said to be very effective, but people with destiny will always see it!
The gate of the temple is the cruise ship dock for visiting the Mae Khlong River.
Luang Prabang morning market
čµ°čµ°é天äøXZAfter attending the early morning monks' almsgiving activities in Luang Prabang, people usually go to the morning market in the city center.
The morning market is on a small street, with all kinds of stalls on both sides, some with wooden boards, some selling on the ground, and some slightly larger shops.
It feels completely different from the impression of the vegetable market. First, it is relatively quiet and orderly, without the constant hawking. Second, it is relatively clean, without the stench and sewage. Third, the clothes are very neat and generous, the image is decent, and there are many young people. Fourth, the goods are abundant and dazzling, covering almost all aspects of life.
There are also many things on sale that we don't usually see, such as micešā¦
Phousi Hill
čµ°čµ°é天äøXZMount Phousi is an important attraction in the old town of Luang Prabang and an important Buddhist holy place. The mountain is not very high and can be reached in about 10 to 20 minutes. The entrances and exits on the upper and lower sides lead to the old town, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.
However, the steps are still quite steep, and the weather is hot, so it is best to choose the early morning and late evening.
Most people choose to go up in the evening to watch the sunset over the Mekong River, sitting quietly on the steps near the Shwedagon Pagoda on the top of the mountain, waiting for the sun to set. The area on the top of the mountain is not large, so it seems that there are quite a lot of people.
There are messy trees on the hillside, and there are few angles suitable for taking sunset photos. However, most people just want to enjoy the baptism of the sunset.
Hmong Night Market
TTeacher EyNight Market is just a walking distance to everything.It offers native products from Luang Prabang and souvenirs that are originated from here. Prices are affordable and worth it.
Phosy Market

ęøøä¾ Ice drinks are a bit profitable, but a large cup of ice cubes plus a spoonful of milk tea jelly, the cost is only a few cents, not as attractive as the large glass ice drink made by the Malaysian people. The people of Southeast Asia are curious, the hotter the more they love to eat hot barbecue, roasted glutinous rice balls, snail meat, chicken hearts, 3 strings 3.2 yuan. Very fragrant and delicious. Lunch at the roadside store by the way, pig soup powder 16 yuan, popcorn cake 8 corners. The locals have ignored the flies, and the cockroaches must eat while catching the flies, otherwise they will eat them together.
Tat Sae Waterfalls
TTui.KPSTat Sae Waterfall is a very beautiful waterfall, but if you come, you have to ask the locals as there will be some periods without water and traveling requires a boat to cross in.
