Laos | Luang Prabang's largest Buddha statue and the only Sangharama-style pagoda

❤Reason for recommendation: Wat Visounnarath is the oldest temple in Luang Prabang, named after the king. 👍Most recommended: The ridge of the main hall of Wat Visounnarath is decorated with the tail sound of Naga, and there is a decorative element composed of a miniature pagoda covered with a sunshade in the center of the ridge. The wooden door is from the early 16th century structure, and the exquisite gilded carvings on the door depict the Hindu god Vishnu. The wooden railings on the windows are similar to the stone railings of several Khmer temples in Angkor. 🌟Highlight feature: The main hall houses the largest Buddha statue in Luang Prabang, 5 meters wide and 64 centimeters high. It also houses a large number of gilded bronze and wooden Buddha statues, many of which are 400 years old, and some ancient stones can be traced back to the 15th century. 🌟Highlight feature: The watermelon pagoda inside Pathum Wat Visounnarath is a Sangharama-style pagoda, the only one of this style in Laos.
