Luang Prabang is the
ancient royal capital of Laos. It sits
at the confluence of the Khan and Mekong rivers, where the Khan flows into
mighty Mekong. This city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Luang Prabang is
sleepy yet majestic with its ancient past.
The royal palace is still intact, and is now a museum, the Haw Kham Royal Palace Museum. There are many
Buddhists temples and daily at dawn, hundreds of monks ritually walk through
the city to collect alms with their begging bowls. Wat Xieng Thong is one of the more prominent
temples and a must see for tourists.
This video by
Laotian23 gives a pretty good overview of the things to do and see in Luang
Prabang. The audio is a bit crackly, but
the words are legible.
