Luang Prabang’s architecture is unique in its combination of French, Indochinese and Lao styles. Here, excellent though weathered examples of 19th century French colonial buildings remain, from shop-houses and bungalows to civic institutions. Influences of French culture and customs can be seen and tasted in the refined and rich cuisine of Laos, making de rigueur to sample the delightful dishes that are a product of the region’s history.
While Luang Prabang’s history, religion and the endearing spirit invite you to linger, the splendid natural setting at the confluence of the mighty Mekong and Khan rivers and rugged mountain landscape add enormously to its charm. Half-day or full-day trekking excursions provide the best way to explore the natural beauty of the region, especially if you have the time to visit the limestone caves, waterfalls and villages famous for silk and cotton weaving nearby. |
