What to do and where to see in Luang Prabang?

The Town of Luang Prabang was inscribed on the World Heritage List in December 1994 for being exceptional for both its rich architectural and artistic heritage that reflects the fusion of Lao traditional urban architecture with that of the colonial era. Its remarkably well-preserved townscape reflects the alliance of these two distinct cultural traditions.

Where to visit:
Wat Mai Temple
Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham Built in 1796, Wat Mai (New Monastery) was given its present name following the restoration undertaken in 1821 by King Manthathourath. Notice the 4-tiered roof when visiting the temple, as well as the scenes from daily life and the legend of Vessantara on the bas-relief walls.

Wat Xieng Thong
This temple is not only the most beautiful in Luang Prabang, but arguably one of the most spectacular temples in the entire country. Built by King Setthatirath around 1560 it is a classic example of Luang Prabang style and features a gracefully sloping roof and glass [tile] murals. The best time to visit, especially for photography, is in the morning.
