Phra That Phu Si, Luang Prabang

A trip to Luang Prabang wouldn’t be complete without visiting Phra That Phu Si 🛕✨. This iconic landmark sits atop a hill in the heart of the city. Climbing over 300 steps to reach the summit might be a bit tiring, but the breathtaking panoramic view of Luang Prabang makes it all worthwhile. From the top, you can see the curves of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, as well as rows of wooden rooftops. The atmosphere becomes especially magical during sunset 🌇, as the sky changes colors, contrasting beautifully with the small golden stupa at the peak. It’s a serene, warm, and almost sacred experience. This spot is a must-visit for taking photos, enjoying the view, or simply sitting quietly to soak in the tranquility of the old town.
