Luang
Prabang is the jewel of Indochina, and a UNESCO World Heritage
Site since 1995. The ancient royal city is surrounded
by mountains at the junction of the Mekong and its tributary,
the Khan river. In the centre of the city is Mount Phousi
with stunning views of the surrounding temples and hills. Luang
Prabang is a city where time seems to stand still. As
part of the UNESCO plan, new buildings have been limited and
development must be in keeping with this magical place.
Luang Prabang is
small, and just about everywhere can be reached by foot.
Walking and travelling by bicycle is the best way to see this
tiny city.
