Discover these places worth visiting in Vientiane and select a hotel nearby for ultimate convenience
Patuxay Monument
走走遍天下XZThe most symbolic attraction in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, is the Arc de Triomphe, which was built to commemorate the country's independence and is located in the center of the entire city. It is said that between the airport and the Arc de Triomphe, the majority of the people chose to build the Arc de Triomphe first.
At both ends of Lancang Avenue, one is the Presidential Palace and the other is the Arc de Triomphe. There is also the Prime Minister's Office next to the Arc de Triomphe.
The square and the big fountain around the Arc de Triomphe are very beautiful. They were built with assistance from the Chinese government a few years ago. When the setting sun sets, it is also the most beautiful time for the Arc de Triomphe Square. Vientiane citizens bring their children to come and stroll around, and there is a peaceful scene.
With the majestic gushing of the musical fountain ⛲️, the entire square also reached a climax.

Pha That Luang Vientiane
走走遍天下XZWat Pho is one of the many temples in Vientiane. It is not very large, but it is very popular because it is just across the road from the famous Wat That Luang and is protected by a huge reclining Buddha.
There is a very exquisite and tall sculpture inside, on which there is a prince-like figure drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. There are also several angles where you can take pictures of the Shwedagon Pagoda of Wat That Luang.
The surrounding walls are also quite distinctive, with golden pagodas of respected and prestigious families, which are spectacular.
Mekong Riverside Park
สสายเที่ยว สายมู สายบุญThe sun is setting on the banks of the Mekong River. It's very beautiful.
Presidential Palace
走走遍天下XZThere is no Prime Minister's Office on Ctrip, so I can only comment on it here.
The Prime Minister's Office of Laos is across the road from the Arc de Triomphe and is also the most eye-catching building around the square.
The architectural style is mainly French, incorporating traditional elements of Laos, with red roofs and white walls, and is majestic.
Many people easily confuse the three concepts of the Presidential Palace, the Chairman's Palace, and the Prime Minister's Office. In fact, the Presidential Palace and the Chairman's Palace are the same place, just on the other side of the road facing the Arc de Triomphe. The French call it the Presidential Palace, and the Laotians call it the Chairman's Palace, because socialist countries do not have a president. The Prime Minister's Office is the building next to the Arc de Triomphe.
The entire square is also very beautiful, and there are many beautiful historical buildings around it, and the fountain at night is not to be missed.
