    One of the most beautiful and historically original Buddhist temples in 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.
