Vientiane:

Vientiane is the capital and largest city of Laos. Located at the southern end of Vientiane Plain, on the east bank of Mekong River, across the river from Thailand, with a population of 856,000. It was the capital of several dynasties in history. The name "Vientiane" has different origins and meanings, or it is called "the moon" because it is made of sandalwood as a wooden fence around the city, or it is built along the Mekong River.

Luang Prabang:

Luang Prabang is one of the famous tourist attractions in Laos. 1995 is listed in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO. With a population of 340,000, it was once the capital of several dynasties in Laos with a history of more than 1,000 years. 1353, France-Ang unified Laos and established the Lancang Kingdom, with its capital here, and changed its name to "Chuantong" (meaning Jincheng). Later, King Faun received a precious gift-a golden Buddha statue named "brabant". From 1560, it was renamed for the Buddha statue dedicated to Braban. After that, Vientiane was the capital and Luang Prabang was the capital. Luang Prabang Palace was built in 1904. It was the bedroom of Feng, the king of Xisha, and has been the bedroom of kings of all dynasties ever since. Until 1975, the monarchy was abolished and the Lao People's Democratic Republic was established, and the palace was opened to the public as a national museum. Opposite the Buddha Hill, the ancient city has a panoramic view.

Tower Luan:

Located in the northeast of Vientiane City, this unique golden pagoda was built in 1556 during the reign of King Setthathirat and took six years to complete. This is where the royal family and monks store their ashes. Its temple is the most magnificent in Laos, and it is said that it also houses the sternum of Buddha Sakyamuni, which is deeply respected by the Lao people. The totem in the national emblem is a pagoda. Lu 'an Tower is a square masonry building. * * * There is a three-story tower foundation with a bottom circumference of about 60 meters. There are four worship pavilions around, and there are 30 small towers with a height of 3.6 meters on the second tower foundation. There is also a small golden pagoda in each pagoda, weighing about 60 grams, and there are also gold cup leaves engraved with the core content or four truths of Buddhism. The main tower on the third floor stands on a semi-circular base with a total height of 45 meters. There are 24 Da Lian petals around the base, and the spire is like a cone with gold foil on it. There are cloisters around Taruan, and the whole building complex covers an area of more than 8,400 square meters, which is the national treasure of Laos. The Taruan Festival, the most solemn traditional religious festival in Laos, is held here from 1 1 every year.

Arc de Triomphe:

1969 Monument to celebrate Laos' independence. Because Laos is a French colony, this building resembles the Arc de Triomphe in France.

Jade Buddha Temple:

Located next to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was built in 1565. It is said that the original jade Buddha was taken away by Thailand in the Thai-Lao War. Now it is a famous jade Buddha on the Jiuhua platform of the Jade Buddha Temple in Bangkok, Thailand. There is also a temple opposite the Jade Buddha Temple, named Shishage Temple, which was built in 18 18. Because it is very similar to a Thai temple, it has been preserved to this day. There are more than 10,000 Buddha statues from all over the world in the temple, and the oldest one has a history of more than 1,000 years.

Temple of Xiang Kun:

A temple similar to a park contains the largest reclining Buddha in Laos, all kinds of Buddha statues and arhats, and a strange building called Heaven and Hell. There is hell in the tower, and there is a golden Buddha town at the top of the tower, which symbolizes heaven.

Langen Lake (South E Lake):

This lake is built by damming mountains and covers an area of about 250 square kilometers. There are thousands of small islands in the lake (so China people also call it Qiandao Lake). You can take a boat trip to the lake, see the scenery of the lake and enjoy the unique fresh fish in the lake. There is Tianhu Amusement Park by the lake, which is a legal casino in Laos and has a standard golf course.

Wan Rong (Wang Yang):

Wanrong is located in the north of Vientiane 160 km, with mountains and rivers like Guilin. There are many caves hidden in limestone mountain, which is an ideal place for white water rafting.

Tangding Valley Cave:

It is a famous scenic spot in Luang Prabang. This cave is a limestone cave. It has been discovered for more than 400 years. There are many Buddha statues of different sizes along the inner wall of the cave. The holes are connected with each other, and the back hole is bigger than the front hole, which is extremely mysterious.

Mekong river:

Mekong River runs through Laos from north to south, crossing Laos 1500 kilometers. It is the soul of China and the axis of business activities. After January, the Mekong River dries up, and you will watch the children play football on the dry river bed. After the rainy season, the river surged, and a lot of wood floated on the river, drifting from Yunnan to Cambodia. The Mekong River sometimes overflows. It is a very pleasant thing to visit the Mekong River by boat, and it is also the best way to get to know the country.

Morning market:

In fact, the morning market is not only open in the morning, but also a three-story grocery market, which is open until the evening. It mainly deals in Laos textiles and traditional clothing. The largest area is handicrafts such as gold and silver jewelry. The price is not expensive either.

Because it's a long distance, it's generally charged according to the itinerary, and it's about RMB in 40 yuan, so it's more cost-effective to get about 6 people. In addition, it is recommended to pack bags and cameras in plastic bags, because there is foggy ash on the road, so it is best to wear a mask. Besides, there are few people in the park. Remember to bring toilet water when it is hot, avoid mosquito bites, and don't go to the wrong place because of snakes.

Ten Most Worth Visiting Places in Laos

No.65438 +0 Arc de Triomphe

Laos' national gate and national landmark, every tourist comes to Vientiane, Laos. The Arc de Triomphe is a must-see attraction. Everyone knows that you have been to Laos.

No.2 Tuluan

Do you find that many China people in Laos use Taruan as their head? This is the business card of Laos. No matter what film or photo album is made to promote Laos, Taruan will be in it.

No.3 Wanrong Bukan Cave

The river in front of the cave is the epitome of Wanrong tourism. As a tourist city in Laos, Wanrong attracts thousands of tourists every day.

4 th lang pulabang night market

This night market has local characteristics of Laos. Many foreign tourists like to visit here and buy souvenirs with local characteristics from time to time. Because of the excellent photo effect, it has become the scenery in everyone's lens.

No.5 shigang plain

The reason why the exposure here is high is because of mystery. What are these stone jars for? After many countries' research, experts have not come up with a statement that can convince everyone. At present, Shigang Plain, located in Kawasaki Province, Laos, has also become a popular tourist attraction.

No.6 Guangxi waterfall

Guangxi Waterfall in Luang Prabang is the representative of natural scenery in Luang Prabang. How can I get to Luang Prabang without going to Guangxi Waterfall? The reason for the high exposure rate is the credit of the photographer. We can't take such beautiful photos with mobile phones.

No.7 Xiangtong Temple

The cultural symbol of Laos is a well-preserved historical building in the ancient capital Luang Prabang, which represents the architectural style of Laos and also reflects the Buddhist cultural heritage of Laos. Is it nice to take pictures?

No.8 Xiang Kun Temple

Xiang Kun Temple, located in Vientiane, the capital, is famous for all kinds of Buddha statues and deities. Because it is also called Buddha Park, its history is not long, but it looks old because of the wind and sun, and this Buddha Park is invisible in other places, so tourists like to take pictures.

No.9 Si Qian Meidao

Si Qian Meidao is located in the Mekong River basin bordering Cambodia in the south of Laos, which is the widest section of the Mekong River in Laos. If Zhu Xiao and Shazhou are included, this figure exceeds 1000, and it is a bit exaggerated for locals to call this area 4,000 beautiful islands. But in fact, 4,000 yuan mainly refers to three islands, Dongkong Island, Dongkuo Island and East Germany Island. Shuttle through the island, looking at the scenery of palm trees and scattered houses on the Mekong River, people have been there and don't want to leave.

10 game market

The game market in Laos can satisfy many people's curiosity, but everyone wants to see it in person and take photos of various games to prove that they have a brave heart.

Another place not on the list is South Russian Lake in Laos, 90 kilometers away from Vientiane. This is an artificial lake, which was formed during the construction of the South Russian power station. The lake is 250 kilometers long, and a large number of trees, including many redwoods, are submerged. South Russia Lake is not only a picturesque reservoir in South Russia, but also a quiet leisure resort and a well-equipped water hotel with its unique and beautiful nature. Unfortunately, many tourists didn't go to this place not because it was not beautiful, but because the traffic was inconvenient.
