#1 of Best Things to Do in Luang Prabang
Mountains
Temples
走遍天下XZ
Mount Puxi is an important attraction in the old town of Luang Prabang, and an important Buddhist holy place. The mountain is not very high. It takes about one or twenty minutes to climb to the top. The upper and lower import and export all pass through the old city. You don't have to worry about getting lost. However, the steps are still steep, coupled with the hot weather, so it is best to choose a more suitable time for one morning and one night. Most people will choose to go up to see the sunset of the Mekong River in the evening, sit quietly on the steps near the Shwedagon Pagoda on the top of the mountain, waiting for the sun to set. The area on the top of the mountain is small and there are quite a lot of people. The trees on the hillside are messy and there are few angles for sunsets, but most people just want to enjoy the baptism of the sunset.

Temples
走遍天下XZ
Xiangtong Temple, the only royal monastery in Luang Prabang, reveals the "tree of life" of causal reincarnation, the reclining Buddha, and the old abbot are the three treasures of the town temple. It is said that before the monastery was built, there was a towering tree here, and later on the back wall of the temple painted this "tree of life", the above pattern is a Buddhist legend of the causal cycle. The old abbot is on the right hand side of the Buddha in the temple, next to the photos of the old abbot, lifelike. The sleeping Buddha is not very easy to find, it is said to be very spiritual, but people who are destined will always see the last side! The gate of the monastery is the cruise ship dock for visiting the Meigong River.

Museums
走遍天下XZ
The Grand Palace of Luang Prabang, the most luxurious palace in Southeast Asia built by French colonialists to the Lao royal family, was nationalized after the establishment of the socialist system in 1975, and the royal family moved to the north, now the National Museum. The picture of Jin Bihui 𤾗 that I often see is actually just the temple of the royal family. The "work" shape of the building that blends French architecture with Lao traditional architectural style is the main building of the palace. After listening to the special explanation, I looked at the layout and furnishings inside to experience the luxury and dignity (cannot take pictures). It was once looted by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Fortunately, it seemed that things such as the "Dajin Throne" were too bulky and did not move away.

Traditional Experiences
走遍天下XZ
I have heard that Busch is a very high-grade merit, thank you very much for the arrangement of the travel agency, this time in Luang Prabang, I am fortunate to participate in it. Since the opening of the old and middle railways has been more than two years, more and more tourists have flocked to the city, and the monks' early morning offerings have gradually become a popular tourist project. It feels like the streets of Bushi may have divided the area of tourists and local believers. When we arrived, small stools, small carpets, food (steam rice), disposable gloves and plaid cloth towels on the shoulders had already helped us prepare. Some will guide you to a special place, take off your shoes and put them behind you, and then wait for the monks to arrive. In addition to rice, you can also prepare a variety of snacks, or change, and the RMB is also accepted. Monks are walking barefoot on the sidewalk, so be sure not to walk up in shoes. An unforgettable experience, the power of faith!

Waterfalls
走遍天下XZ
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"!

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.

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!

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.
