Wat Phou Temple is one of the most significant historical and cultural tourist attractions in Laos.

The temple is structured in tiers ascending along the hillside, with a pathway lined with stone pillars leading to the main sanctuary at the summit. Upon reaching the top, visitors are rewarded with a stunning panoramic view. Opening Hours: 08:00 AM - 06:00 PM Entrance Fee: 55,000 Kip (includes entrance and bus fare)

#Champassak #WatPhu #pakse #WatPhuTemple #OverseasTravel #Laos #AncientRelics The Champasak cultural landscape, including the Wat Phou Temple, has been amazingly well preserved for over 1,000 years. It is a place where temples, shrines, and water facilities are geometrically arranged about 10km from the mountaintop to the riverside, expressing the relationship between nature and humans from a Hindu perspective. Two planned cities built near the Mekong River and Mount Phu Khao are also included in the relics. This place developed mainly during the Khmer Empire's rule from the 5th to 15th centuries. I think I received good energy after visiting the wonderful Wat Phu Temple~ It was so beautiful and I want to visit again~ Since it is an ancient relic, I had a strange feeling and had a lot of time to think~ It was the rainy season, but the weather was so clear that I felt even better~ I hope you visit~
