Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heratage town in Laos. It is incredibly beautiful both in it's nartual terrain surounding it and in the many old temples and French colonial buildings! It has got to be one of the most beautiful places I've been to yet!

Luang Prabang is a small city surounded by rivers on both sides and mountains in the distance. It is fairly touristy and has many world class guesthouse and restaurants but it still retains it's old charm. There are an amazing number of temples here even though the city is fairly small. Most of these temples are very beautiful (some of the most beautiful I've seen in Asia) and each one is has it's own trademark.
Here are some of the ones near my guesthouse.

Here is the night market:
