Laos' Southern Attapeu: Half fairy tale, half hometown.

Laos is indeed a charming place, where everything feels new and yet familiar. Today we drove for more than an hour from Moding and arrived at Namtha City in Laos. Along the way, we saw a very simple and primitive rural scenery. Most of the houses are similar to those in Xishuangbanna, and they are also very similar to the Miao wooden houses I have seen before! After having lunch, we came to the mountaintop and witnessed the shining Buddha light of Laos for the first time. The solemn golden pagoda was surrounded by vast forests. Here, we could overlook the street view of the entire Namtha city, with colorful houses, winding streets, interspersed with lush green lawns and tropical plants, creating a beauty reminiscent of Nordic fairy tales. This city is half fairy tale and half rustic hometown charm!
