Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang is a UNESCO town of temples and French colonial charm — alms at dawn and the Mekong at dusk.
Luang Prabang is the spiritual heart of Laos — a peninsula of Buddhist temples and French colonial villas at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan. Watch the alms-giving at dawn, swim at Kuang Si waterfalls, and slow down; the town is the pace. One of Southeast Asia's most beautiful small cities.
