Exaggerated! The entire city is a world cultural heritage site.

Luang Prabang in Laos is a world cultural and natural heritage site. Luang Prabang is the only city that is protected as a world cultural heritage site! Therefore, in Luang Prabang, tourist buses with more than 15 seats are not allowed to enter the city, and larger tour groups, if they want to stay in the city, sorry, they may need to stay in different hotels, because all buildings are limited to the old city layout, even if they are now converted into hotels, they are still small in scale. Nevertheless, it is strongly recommended to stay in the city and immerse yourself in the exotic cultural atmosphere! Since it is well-protected and a world cultural heritage, there must be a reason why the architecture in Luang Prabang is a must-see. From the grand palaces and temples to small pubs, cafes, and even residential houses, it's a pleasure to walk and taste along the way. Sabah, Vietnam is a charming cocktail of Western and ethnic, modern and traditional, while the architecture in Luang Prabang is livable on the basis of fully preserving the traditional style. Leisurely, lazy, and petty-bourgeois. It is surprising to see the abundance of dragon elements, especially in the temple architecture of Luang Prabang Old Town. However, upon closer inspection, it is clearly distinct from its birthplace, China. Civilization is so intertwined and permeated with each other in an inadvertent way, which inevitably leads to further associations and comparisons with the semi-kneeling figures in the style of Angkor Wat in the Jianshui Confucian Temple (related content has been shared). Perhaps this is what is meant by "when poetry and legends are silent, only architecture speaks."
