Vientiane

journey:Meeting time: 8:30-9:00 amIn the morning, you will have the opportunity to visit a Buddhist temple by bicycle, the oldest temple in Vientiane - Wat Sisaket, which houses more than 8,000 Buddha statues. Then continue to visit the former royal temple - Wat Phra Kaew, which previously housed the famous Emerald Buddha statue and is now a museum of art and antiques. We then head to Lanexang Street where you will have the opportunity to take photos of the Patuxai Monument. Climbing to the top will give you a stunning view of Vientiane. We continue down Rue Singha 23 to the national icon of Laos and Pha That Luang, which is arguably the most important attraction in Laos. It was originally built to cover the original stupa and houses a piece of Gautama Buddha's sternum. It is not only the most symbolic and representative attraction in Laos, but also hosts internationally renowned Buddhist ceremonies every year.Have lunch at a local restaurant.In the afternoon, you can choose to visit the COPE exhibition center. After that, we visited the COPE convalescent center. COPE is a non-profit organization with an exhibition center and a convalescent center. The exhibition hall displays the grenades left from fighter planes during the war, the history of the war, and the stories of the survivors. Laos is a country with a high density of grenades. There are still many undiscovered grenades scattered in every corner of the country. Many people have also suffered from ammunition because of their daily lives such as planting, walking, and ignorance. At the least, amputation can save their lives, and at the worst, they lose their lives. The COPE exhibition center also provides some knowledge about prosthetics, how to make prosthetics, and documentaries about ammunition. COPE also makes full use of prosthetics and excavated ammunition debris to decorate the exhibition hall.Return to your Hotel, ending the day's tour. Attractions:Wat Sisaket is the oldest temple that has retained its original style. Entering its main hall, starting from the courtyard wall surrounding the temple, there are a total of 6,840 Buddha statues stored in niches or shelves. It is said that this temple survived the invasion of Siam because it is close to Thai style. The small Buddha statues enshrined in the niches of the main hall are mostly in even numbers. The Lao custom is to worship Buddha statues at home in odd numbers, and the number of Buddha statues donated to the temple must be even. There is a small dragon boat behind the temple, which should be used to bathe the Buddha. Water is poured at the tail of the dragon, flows through the dragon body, and flows out from the small hole under the dragon head. The Buddha statue is placed under the small hole to receive a bath. Lao funerals are mostly buried in the ground, and wealthy people will build pagodas in the temple to store ashes. The pagodas placed on the courtyard wall are of different forms and colors. The photos and brief dates of birth and death on them represent the beginning and end of a life. On the other side is the residence of the monks who have become monks in the temple, a very beautiful and tidy small building.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350k0l000000dd5pr37F5_C_364_206.jpg" sourcehight="1067" sourcewidth="1600" source="ttd" imageid="828121"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350m0l000000dhc3h1256_C_364_206.jpg" sourcehight="1067" sourcewidth="1600" source="ttd" imageid="828120">【Wat Phra Kaew】Located in the northeast corner of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, it is a famous Buddhist temple in Thailand and one of the three national treasures of Thailand. Wat Phra Kaew is the most sacred place in Thai Buddhism and the guardian temple of the Chakri Dynasty. Built in 1784, Wat Phra Kaew is part of the Grand Palace of Thailand and occupies about 1/4 of the Grand Palace. Wat Phra Kaew is a place where the Thai royal family worships the Jade Buddha statue and holds religious ceremonies. It is named after the Jade Buddha enshrined in the temple. There are the Jade Buddha Hall, the Former King Hall, the Buddha Bone Hall, the Sutra Library, the Bell Tower and the Golden Pagoda in the temple.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/35070l000000dqvozEE22_C_364_206.jpg" sourcehight="700" sourcewidth="1000" source="ttd" imageid="834593">That Luang Stupa is the most important national monument in Laos. It is a symbol shared by Buddhism and the sovereign state of Laos. The main tower also appears in the national emblem. That Luang Stupa has been renovated many times and has been preserved to this day. It was built in 1556 and is the most magnificent temple tower in Laos. The whole stupa is covered with real gold, and you can see this golden stupa from afar even on cloudy days. It is said that the hair and bones of Buddha Sakyamuni were buried under the stupa. The whole stupa has 3 floors, 45 meters high and 54 meters wide; the base of the main stupa is also square, with a worship pavilion in each direction, 30 auxiliary towers on the second floor, and a tower covered with gold foil on the third floor. The base of the stupa is designed to allow believers to climb up, and each floor has passages and stairs. The corridor is 85 meters long on each side and enshrines various Buddha statues. In the ups and downs of history, That Luang Temple has experienced glory and loss. It was rebuilt in 1566 and was identified as the sacred symbol of the Lao nation in the 17th century. During the war, That Luang Temple was destroyed and the treasures in the temple were looted. It was rebuilt again in the 1930s and became the most important pagoda in the minds of the Lao people.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/35070l000000dp6daE007_C_364_206.jpg" sourcehight="1067" sourcewidth="1600" source="ttd" imageid="828119">The Arc de Triomphe (Patouxay) is a relatively modern attraction built to commemorate those who died in the war, and is now a famous landmark in Vientiane.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350f0l000000d8n4lC6BD_C_364_206.jpg" sourcehight="1067" sourcewidth="1600" source="ttd" imageid="828118">
