Laid Back Tempo, Temples, Colonial Flair and Green Nature; Put Luang Prabang on your Wish List by Exotissimo Traveler
Nothing evokes the character and essence of Laos like the cultural capital of Luang Prabang, filled with temples, old and new in a tree-lined street environment of a town. To top it off, colonial buildings here and there further add to its character. Did we mention the laid back atmosphere? Perhaps its location by the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers has something to do with that. Walk down the streets of Luang Prabang and be mesmerized by her offerings!
The city rose to prominence as the capital of the first Lao kingdom in 1353 until 1975. There was a bit of a down period for the town, but until 1989, when Luang Prabang re-opened its doors to the world, the town rose back to prominence and was eventually declared a Heritage Site by UNESCO.
So, what to do at this laid back place filled with amazing sites and a relaxing atmosphere? You can find a spot to sit, have a nice drink and just watch the slow pace of life develop before your eyes. It surely is picturesque, with all the charisma of a quaint European town mixed with the wonderful, and unexplainable charm of Southeast Asia.
Early birds always get the rewards. Here in Luang Prabang, you
