In Laos, there is also a must-visit Arc de Triomphe

📍Detailed address: Arc de Triomphe 🚗Traffic strategy: Walk there 🕙Opening hours: All day 💰Ticket price: Free entry to the park, 30000 kip required to go upstairs 🌟Highlights: The Laotian Arc de Triomphe, 45 meters high and 24 meters wide, is located near the Prime Minister's Office in the center of Vientiane. Built in 1969, it is a large monument. In 1975, the people of Vientiane celebrated their victory with a parade passing through here, and it was named the Arc de Triomphe in commemoration of this historic event. Unlike other Arc de Triomphe, the Laotian Arc de Triomphe is very 'Southeast Asian'. The top of the tower is carved with the most important iconic building in Laos - the Taluan, and the interior is also carved with a large number of exquisite Buddha statues and golden decorations. Therefore, in the hearts of the Laotian people, this building is very sacred. There are many local residents resting and playing around the Arc de Triomphe, and the fountain in the square is also open. There is no charge to enter the park, but if you want to climb to the top, you need to pay a 30,000 kip ticket. When you climb the Arc de Triomphe, you can overlook the city of Vientiane because there are few high-rise buildings around. 📌Small Tips: The range of the fountain in the square is not very accurate, and it is easy to get wet.
