"One of the most symbolic attractions in the Lao capital, Vientiane, is this Arc de Triomphe, built to commemorate the independence of the country, located in the center of the entire city. It is said that between the airport and the Arc de Triomphe, the vast masses of people chose to build the Arc de Triomphe first. At both ends of Lancang Avenue, one is the President's Mansion, the other is the Arc de Triomphe, and there is the Premier's Mansion next to the Arc de Triomphe. The squares and large fountains around the Arc de Triomphe are very beautiful and were built by the Chinese government a few years ago. When the sun was sinking, it was also the most beautiful time in the Arc de Triomphe Square. The citizens of Vientiane came with their children and walked around, a peaceful scene. With the spout of the music fountain, the whole square also reached a climax. The most happy city, the most happy country, the most happy people!"

"A teacher at the Confucius Institute of Vientiane China told us that in Luang Prabang and even throughout Laos, the Guangxi Falls are definitely the best tourist attractions recognized. The water here, like many other karst landforms, is a faint blue-green color, which is particularly intoxicating. The waterfall stretches along the steep slope, slowly spreading out. The best and most powerful is the large waterfall on the top of the triangle. It is also a holy place that many backpackers yearn for in the world. It is uphill and there is a pool under each waterfall. It is like a natural swimming pool. There are three or two exclusive ones, and dozens of people are crowded together. The big tree next to it has also become a platform for diving lovers, playing, laughing... one after another. Young, energetic, free, unrestrained... Maybe this is the most attractive place for "Guangxi Falls"!"

"The Reclining Buddha Temple is one of many temples in Vientiane, and the scale is not very large, but because it is only one way away from the famous Tayu Temple, there is a huge Reclining Buddha, so the popularity is more vigorous. Inside is a very beautiful tall sculpture, with a prince-like figure in the bow archery. There are several angles, you can take pictures of the Big Golden Pagoda of the Tayu Temple. The surrounding walls are also more distinctive, all of which are the golden towers of high-respected and noble families, which are spectacular."

"Vientiane Xiangkun Temple (Wanfo Park), Laos must check in attractions. "Net Red" nine-story Buddha Pagoda, six reincarnations, the longest reclining Buddha, Monkey Mouth Hell Tower, Shiva Statue (handheld mistakenly killed children), etc., many of them have introduced some Buddhist stories, legends and other content in Hinduism, made statues, in most Buddhist places, It is extremely rare to see. Behind each Buddha statue there is a mysterious legend, although it is made of steel and cement, but the same meticulous beauty, especially some facial expressions and limb movements, are closely related to the storyline."

"Vanrong, Laos, a small town, due to the formation of a small mountain peaks of the karst landform, the Nansong River like the "Lijiang River", the blue lagoon..., has spawned many outdoor activities, such as hot air balloons, paragliding, cave rafting, kayaking, Mountain motorcycles, road karts, blue lake diving, etc., but the most attractive is the Nansong River. The houses on both sides of the Nansong River are set against the karst landscape, especially emotional, the river flow is very fast, and even will provoke waves, but not deep, the following are mostly pebbles, so it is very clear, even if you don't play any projects, drifting all the way, it is absolutely comfortable. But the sun at noon is best avoided."

"There is no attraction in the Premier's Palace on Triumph, only commented here. The Lao Prime Minister's Palace is separated from the Arc de Triomphe all the way, and it is also the most eye-catching building around the square. The architectural style is mainly French style, integrating traditional elements of Laos, red-topped white walls, magnificent. Many people easily confused the three concepts of the presidential palace, the presidential palace, and the prime minister's palace. In fact, the presidential palace and the presidential palace are the same place, just opposite the road facing the Arc de Triomphe. The Premier Palace is the building next to the Arc de Triomphe. The whole square is also very beautiful, there are many beautiful historical buildings around, and the fountain at night is not to be missed."

"Because water is groundwater flowing out of the cave, rich in minerals such as copper, so special blue, especially when the sun shines through the leaves to the water, the colorful color is more psychedelic. The key point is to thank the crooked neck tree on the shore, a thick branch stretched horizontally to the water, naturally formed a one-meter jump platform, and later on the main trunk of the tree about 5 meters on the place to mount an iron platform, erect a bamboo ladder, Let this place become a paradise for water sports backpackers around the world. Look at the text on the price card behind, you know that Europe, America and South Korea have the most. The name is lake, which is actually a river, very similar to the one at the door of my grandmother's house when I was a child (you can imagine the bridge on the last picture). Facing such a clear blue lake, looking at a young and healthy posture, holding a sweet coconut, I instantly understand why this is the highest happiness place!"

"Ximeng Temple, also translated as Simon Temple, is the most incense temple in the Lao capital Vientiane many temples, because of its very spirituality. Legend has it that a pregnant woman volunteered to take the temple (jump into the main pillar of the temple), the temple is named after her, also known as the "mother temple", to protect the people of a city. Ximeng Temple is very exquisite and gorgeous, magnificent, it is worth calming down, emptying yourself, and enjoying it carefully."
