About Luang Prabang
Luang Prabang is a small royal town in northern Laos on the Mekong, with gilded temples, French colonial houses, morning alms-giving and nearby waterfalls.
Luang Prabang sits on a peninsula where the Nam Khan river joins the Mekong, ringed by green mountains. It was the royal capital of the Lao kingdom until 1975, and its whole old centre is a World Heritage site, a mix of Lao temples and French colonial shophouses. Wat Xieng Thong, built in the 16th century, has sweeping roofs and glass mosaics, and the former Royal Palace now serves as the national museum.
