Patuxai ( previously known as Anousavali)
is the Arc de Triomphe of Laos, located in Vientiane.
Completed in 1968, the Patuxai is a monument to the war of independence
from France. It has intricate designs representing Buddhist
and Hindu philosophies. Tourists can go
up into the monument to browse the museum inside and to get souvenirs. The top
floor is accessible and has a viewing platform with a telescope for a great
view of Vientiane city.
