In love with Luang (Prubang)
Luang Prabang is universally loved; a small, charming town in the north of Laos boasting “an outstanding example of the fusion of traditional architecture and Lao urban structures with those built by the European colonial authorities in the 19th and 20th centuries” according to the report which placed the town on UNESCO’s world heritage list in 1995.
Luang Prabang blends French villas, ornate buddhist wats and traditional lao teak buildings; an architectural mix that UNESCO declared a “unique”, “remarkably well-preserved townscape”. It is often referred to as a living museum, with numerous historic sites from colonial and precolonial times (though none from Days of Yor).
