Why Luang Prabang
- UNESCO World Heritage town with dozens of ornate Buddhist temples
- The daily alms-giving ceremony at dawn is one of Southeast Asia's most iconic sights
- Kuang Si Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the region
A UNESCO World Heritage Site at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, Luang Prabang is the jewel of Laos. Ancient gilded temples sit alongside French colonial buildings, saffron-robed monks collect alms at dawn, and the surrounding countryside offers waterfalls and caves. The Laos-China Railway has made it far more accessible.
