Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, this former ancient capital is a
quaint town with crumbling French-
Indochinese architecture, glistening
temples and widespread natural
beauty.
Built on a peninsula formed by the Mekong
and the Nam Khan River, this tiny town is the
heart of this mountainous region. With a
strict building code set in place by UNESCO,
the city is remarkably well-preserved and
has been able to retain most of its old-world
charm. Having said that, as the influx of
visitors has slowly increased over the years,
some stretches of streets have become
rather ‘touristy’. For the spiritual at heart,
Luang Prabang is considered the main centre
for Buddhist learning in Laos, evident by the
number of orange-clad monks travelling
the streets. Coinciding a stay during festive
seasons certainly would enhance ones stay.
Rich in culture, this city is definitely one that
feels genuine with its unique ambiance.
