Nestled between mighty mountains, on the banks of the mighty Mekong River, lies the ancient royal city of Luang Prabang in the far north of Laos. Surrounded by lush jungle, this remote town with a population of 76,000 was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. The unique royal palace, the countless temples, and Buddhist monasteries transport every traveler back to the glorious realm of the "One Million Elephants," as the term "Lane Xang" translates to Laos. The chanting of golden-orange-robed monks wafts through the streets. The early morning mist of the Mekong River casts a very special spell over the former capital of the kingdom of Lane Xang every day. Luang Prabang is peppered with unique cultural and historical features. Source and further information: https://laos.de/staedte-kultur/luang-prabang/

Wat Xieng Thong (Monastery of the Golden City): Built in 1560 by King Setthathirat of Lan Xang, it is considered the most elegant pagoda in Luang Prabang, and perhaps even in the entire country. With its curved, almost ground-level roofs and golden wooden facade, it is an architectural masterpiece of the city. Be sure to admire the mosaic of the Tree of Life, which symbolizes the connection between the earthly and the heavenly world. The pagoda lies at the confluence of the Nam Khan and Mekong rivers at the tip of the peninsula and is best visited early in the morning to enjoy its tranquil atmosphere.
