If you are a history or culture buff, Luang Prabang is a must-stop for your Laos tours. Located in the convergence of the Mekong and Nam Khan River, the city used to be the capital of the Kingdom of Laos until 1975 when it was collapsed.
Luang Prabang is a deeply Buddhist land that offers you a luxury spiritual nourishment. The city is renowned for its many golden-roofed wats with colorful mosaics that set against the backdrops of evergreen mountains. Furthermore, Luang Prabang is home to the UNESCO World Heritage – Town Of Luang Prabang combined from its 33 villages. These villages represent the traditional Laos wooden houses with some signs of Western architecture, which are like the reminder of French influence during the colonial times.
