Phou Si Hill and Temple
Highlight • Religious Site
Many stairs lead to the temple, if the sky wasn't full of haze, one could surely experience a beautiful sunset.

Mount Phousi
Highlight • Viewpoint
Especially at sunset you have a fantastic view over Luang Prabang and the Mekong. But a LOT of other people appreciate that too... don't come too late, otherwise you won't see the sun but the heads of the others...

Pha Kao Viewpoint
Highlight • Viewpoint
Indescribably beautiful viewpoint in all directions. The climb is very demanding but well developed. Sturdy shoes are a must. I recommend anyone who is reasonably good on foot to make the journey here.
