Kuang Si Waterfall

4.7/5455 Reviews
Natural scenery
Open tomorrow at 08:00-17:00
_TI***0v:“Kuang Si Waterfall – A Must-See Natural WonderKuang Si Waterfall is a stunning destination, perfect for photography and cooling off in its refreshing, turquoise pools. There are several natural basins where you can take a dip, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy nature.The location is a bit of a walk from the parking lot, but electric shuttles are available to take you close to the base of the waterfall. From there, it’s just a short hike. The trail is a dirt path, which can get slippery when it rains, so be cautious.The waterfall itself is quite unique—I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere else in the world. Its vibrant turquoise water and tiered cascades make it a truly memorable sight and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.The hike is easy for most, but it’s not accessible for wheelchairs. As for the viewpoint at the top, it’s hit or miss—some may find it scenic, but the real magic is definitely at the base of the falls.Entrance and parking fees are affordable, making it even more worth the visit.”

走遍天下XZ:“The most symbolic attraction in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, is the Arc de Triomphe, which was built to commemorate the country's independence and is located in the center of the entire city. It is said that between the airport and the Arc de Triomphe, the majority of the people chose to build the Arc de Triomphe first.
At both ends of Lancang Avenue, one is the Presidential Palace and the other is the Arc de Triomphe. There is also the Prime Minister's Office next to the Arc de Triomphe.
The square and the big fountain around the Arc de Triomphe are very beautiful. They were built with assistance from the Chinese government a few years ago. When the setting sun sets, it is also the most beautiful time for the Arc de Triomphe Square. Vientiane citizens bring their children to come and stroll around, and there is a peaceful scene.
With the majestic gushing of the musical fountain ⛲️, the entire square also reached a climax.
The happiest city, the happiest country, and the happiest people!”

Museums
Open tomorrow at 08:00-11:30, 13:00-15:30(Tickets available until 15:00)
ariel423:“The Luang Prabang Royal Palace Museum is located in the center of the old town of Labang, at the foot of Mount Phousi. The ticket price is 30,000 kip. The palace was built in 1904 and has been the bedroom of successive kings. It is now a museum for people to visit. The palace enshrines the Labang Buddha and there are many exhibits to visit. However, long sleeves and long pants are required to enter the palace. The landscape and greening in the courtyard are also quite good and worth a visit. It seems that there are also wonderful performances at fixed times.”

梨花落🍀:“Xiangkun Temple is also called the Ten Thousand Buddhas Park. The park is not very large. If you walk straight into the park, you will see the Mekong River at the end of the road, and Chiang Rai in Thailand is on the other side. There are various Buddhist and Hindu Buddha sculptures in the park, of different sizes and expressions. It is more like a stone sculpture park than a temple. The various sculptures are set off by colorful bougainvilleas and other tropical plants, making them more sacred and beautiful.”

俗话说呢好:“Whether it is rafting long-tail boats or kayaking, they are all good activities. It is a good choice to avoid the rainy season. The cost of the project is not high. You can find a local merchant to choose your favorite day tour project. Let's go on a tuk-tuk.”
Alms Giving Ceremony in Luang Prabang
5.1
4.5/5125 Reviews
Open tomorrow at 05:30-06:30
ariel423:“More than a decade ago, I wanted to go to Luang Prabang because I was attracted by a photo of alms. Now I finally have the opportunity to go. In order to see the alms, you need to get up early. The weather is super hot in summer. The only advantage is that it is bright when you get up early. After watching the alms, you can go directly to the morning market. Alms are the monks accepting food from people, but the monks only accept the amount they need, and then give the extra food back to other poor people who need it more. Feel the baptism of the soul and the power of faith in the simple ceremony.”

2. Historical background
Origin: It was built in the 3rd century and was originally a small pagoda for worshipping Buddha bones. In the 16th century, it was expanded to its current size by King Saythathirat of the Lan Xang Kingdom.
Reconstruction: After wars and colonial destruction, it was restored many times in the 19th and 20th centuries. The current appearance is the result of the restoration during the French colonial period in the 1930s.
Symbolic significance: The That Luang pattern can be seen on the national emblem and currency of Laos, reflecting its national spirit and cultural core position.

Decorative details : The base of the tower is engraved with reliefs of Buddha statues, lotus flowers, mythical beasts, etc., and the murals in the corridors depict Buddhist stories and Laotian history.
Attached buildings: The surrounding small Buddhist temples, scripture pavilions and Buddha statues are well preserved. Some buildings were newly built in recent years with a unified style.
4. Cultural significance
That Luang Temple is not only a religious holy place, but also a symbol of Lao national identity. The That Luang Festival (Boun That Luang) in November every year is the grandest festival. Monks and believers from all over the country gather to hold ceremonies, parades and market activities, which are very lively.
5. Visiting experience

8. Summary
Recommendation Index: ★★★★★
That Luang Temple is a "must-visit place" in Vientiane and even Laos, with a heavy sense of history and visual impact. Although it is not as large as other famous temples in Southeast Asia, its sacred atmosphere and national symbolism are unique. Suitable for cultural enthusiasts, photography players and short-distance tourists. It is recommended to combine it with attractions such as the Vientiane Arc de Triomphe and Sisaket Temple to experience the charm of Laos.
Tips: If you have enough time, you can participate in the That Luang Festival (during the full moon in November) to experience the most authentic religious culture and folk customs!”

Open tomorrow at 08:00-18:00
ariel423:“The Blue Lagoon is really beautiful and worth a visit. It was the last stop of our day trip. Even if you don't dive, it's fun to watch people diving below. The people below were very supportive and kept encouraging the divers. The lagoon is clear and fun to swim in. There are many tables and chairs around, as well as food stalls. You can spend a leisurely afternoon here.”Other recommended cities
