Patuxay means Victory Gate and is located right in the center of the capital of Laos. It was built to remember the soldiers who fought for independence from France. It was designed by a Laotian architect and when I view the monument, I feel that it looks a bit like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. We bought tickets to go up the top. The city view is so breathtaking and we could see four directions. Before reaching the top, we saw four towers at four corners which look as nice as the main monument. On the ground there are very nice palm trees and ponds. Traffic around the monument looks like no one is rushing as all are passing through a very beautiful symbol of the country. The monument and decorations are stunning to me. I’m so impressed.

    The first meal in Laos, I found a Chinese restaurant in Vientiane. There are many Chinese restaurants in Vientiane. Most of them are Sichuan and Hunan styles. I have also found Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines later, but they are rare. This time I asked a teacher from China's "Confucius Institute" in Vientiane to take us to play together. The teacher is very young and energetic. For several years in Laos, he rented a house in Vientiane, so most of the restaurants he brought were local Chinese.

    In the evening there is a small fountain and music show. it’s not at all crowded. I have seen very few locals with their kids. it’s a beautiful monument.

    This should be an iconic building in Laos and a landmark in Vientiane. The area is not very large, there are government departments such as the Prime Minister's Office next to it. View for 20 minutes, free attractions.
