Popular Best Things to Do Near Vientiane - 2024

"A teacher at the Confucius Institute of Vientiane China told us that in Luang Prabang and even throughout Laos, the Guangxi Falls are definitely the best tourist attractions recognized. The water here, like many other karst landforms, is a faint blue-green color, which is particularly intoxicating. The waterfall stretches along the steep slope, slowly spreading out. The best and most powerful is the large waterfall on the top of the triangle. It is also a holy place that many backpackers yearn for in the world. It is uphill and there is a pool under each waterfall. It is like a natural swimming pool. There are three or two exclusive ones, and dozens of people are crowded together. The big tree next to it has also become a platform for diving lovers, playing, laughing... one after another. Young, energetic, free, unrestrained... Maybe this is the most attractive place for "Guangxi Falls"!"

"Mount Puxi is an important attraction in the old town of Luang Prabang, and an important Buddhist holy place. The mountain is not very high. It takes about one or twenty minutes to climb to the top. The upper and lower import and export all pass through the old city. You don't have to worry about getting lost. However, the steps are still steep, coupled with the hot weather, so it is best to choose a more suitable time for one morning and one night. Most people will choose to go up to see the sunset of the Mekong River in the evening, sit quietly on the steps near the Shwedagon Pagoda on the top of the mountain, waiting for the sun to set. The area on the top of the mountain is small and there are quite a lot of people. The trees on the hillside are messy and there are few angles for sunsets, but most people just want to enjoy the baptism of the sunset."

"Xiangtong Temple, the only royal monastery in Luang Prabang, reveals the "tree of life" of causal reincarnation, the reclining Buddha, and the old abbot are the three treasures of the town temple. It is said that before the monastery was built, there was a towering tree here, and later on the back wall of the temple painted this "tree of life", the above pattern is a Buddhist legend of the causal cycle. The old abbot is on the right hand side of the Buddha in the temple, next to the photos of the old abbot, lifelike. The sleeping Buddha is not very easy to find, it is said to be very spiritual, but people who are destined will always see the last side! The gate of the monastery is the cruise ship dock for visiting the Meigong River."

"Vanrong, Laos, a small town, due to the formation of a small mountain peaks of the karst landform, the Nansong River like the "Lijiang River", the blue lagoon..., has spawned many outdoor activities, such as hot air balloons, paragliding, cave rafting, kayaking, Mountain motorcycles, road karts, blue lake diving, etc., but the most attractive is the Nansong River. The houses on both sides of the Nansong River are set against the karst landscape, especially emotional, the river flow is very fast, and even will provoke waves, but not deep, the following are mostly pebbles, so it is very clear, even if you don't play any projects, drifting all the way, it is absolutely comfortable. But the sun at noon is best avoided."

"The Grand Palace of Luang Prabang, the most luxurious palace in Southeast Asia built by French colonialists to the Lao royal family, was nationalized after the establishment of the socialist system in 1975, and the royal family moved to the north, now the National Museum. The picture of Jin Bihui 𤾗 that I often see is actually just the temple of the royal family. The "work" shape of the building that blends French architecture with Lao traditional architectural style is the main building of the palace. After listening to the special explanation, I looked at the layout and furnishings inside to experience the luxury and dignity (cannot take pictures). It was once looted by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Fortunately, it seemed that things such as the "Dajin Throne" were too bulky and did not move away."

"Because water is groundwater flowing out of the cave, rich in minerals such as copper, so special blue, especially when the sun shines through the leaves to the water, the colorful color is more psychedelic. The key point is to thank the crooked neck tree on the shore, a thick branch stretched horizontally to the water, naturally formed a one-meter jump platform, and later on the main trunk of the tree about 5 meters on the place to mount an iron platform, erect a bamboo ladder, Let this place become a paradise for water sports backpackers around the world. Look at the text on the price card behind, you know that Europe, America and South Korea have the most. The name is lake, which is actually a river, very similar to the one at the door of my grandmother's house when I was a child (you can imagine the bridge on the last picture). Facing such a clear blue lake, looking at a young and healthy posture, holding a sweet coconut, I instantly understand why this is the highest happiness place!"

"I have heard that Busch is a very high-grade merit, thank you very much for the arrangement of the travel agency, this time in Luang Prabang, I am fortunate to participate in it. Since the opening of the old and middle railways has been more than two years, more and more tourists have flocked to the city, and the monks' early morning offerings have gradually become a popular tourist project. It feels like the streets of Bushi may have divided the area of tourists and local believers. When we arrived, small stools, small carpets, food (steam rice), disposable gloves and plaid cloth towels on the shoulders had already helped us prepare. Some will guide you to a special place, take off your shoes and put them behind you, and then wait for the monks to arrive. In addition to rice, you can also prepare a variety of snacks, or change, and the RMB is also accepted. Monks are walking barefoot on the sidewalk, so be sure not to walk up in shoes. An unforgettable experience, the power of faith!"

"Laos Foreigner Street is an ancient and romantic street, many of the buildings here were built during the French colonial period, so it also has a French taste. There are many family hotels in this area, you can choose a room to live, feel the quiet temple world during the day, and stroll around the night market on the foreigner street at night."

"Luang Prabang is definitely the most beautiful city in Laos! Once the most brilliant ancient capital of Laos, and the most carefully built city in France throughout Southeast Asia's colonial region, the combination of ancient Buddhist culture and modern French romance has made the whole city a world cultural heritage protection unit. But if you just walk through the city, it may be "only in this mountain" and "do not know the true face of Lushan", you must climb Mount Push to see the whole picture of Luang Prabang. Most people come up to see the Mekong sunset in the evening, but if they go up early and overlook the entire city of Luang Prabang in the opposite direction, the sun is tilted west, and the light is the most beautiful. The whole city is hidden in green trees, a red and yellow roof French villa looks particularly charming, surrounded by mountains in the distance, the clear river near the blue sky, smoke is also floating everywhere... At this time, Luang Prabang is the most romantic time!"

"Night Market is just a walking distance to everything.It offers native products from Luang Prabang and souvenirs that are originated from here. Prices are affordable and worth it."
