Royal Palace

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.

The Laos Royal Palace, also known as the Haw Kham or Golden Hall, is a cultural gem nestled in Luang Prabang, Laos.

The palace served as the residence of the Laotian royal family until the monarchy's dissolution in 1975. Today, it stands as a museum showcasing regal artifacts, including the revered Phra Bang Buddha statue.Adjacent to the Royal Palace, the National Museum further enriches Luang Prabang's cultural tapestry.
