Per Capita 2k | Luang Prabang Pure Enjoyment Travel Guide

| Luang Prabang Pure Enjoyment Travel Guide. Luang Prabang in Laos is known as 'Chiang Mai from ten years ago.' It is a true 'slow' city! Here, the most common things we do are cycling around leisurely, drinking coffee, and turning the everyday life into a journey. . 📔Basic Information about Laos ⏰Time Difference: Laos time is -1 from Beijing time. 🧭Navigation: Google Maps is recommended, and it can also be used to find restaurants, which is very reliable. ✉️Language: Laotians are not very good at English, sometimes speaking Chinese is even more effective than English. 🌧Climate: It is slightly cold in Laos in the morning and evening during winter, short sleeves are fine at noon, just bring a thin coat. Sun protection is necessary. 🎐Customs: Laos is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. Most temples have dress codes and do not allow exposed skin. 📞Phone Cards: It's cheapest to buy an international phone card in advance. 🕹Power Sockets: Remember to bring a converter plug. 🏠Hotels are very cheap, we spent an average of 1k per person which raised the overall expenses, but actually, you can stay in a nice hotel for just five or six hundred. . ✨Several Must-Do Experiences in Luang Prabang✨ 1️⃣Visit Temples and Museums Luang Prabang is a famous ancient capital and Buddhist center of Laos. Strolling through the city, you'll find ancient temples everywhere, and most experiences here are also related to religion. Wat Xiengthong is a representative temple of Luang Prabang, and the Royal Palace Museum helps you understand the history and local customs of Laos. Note: Skin exposure is not allowed when entering temples. . 2️⃣Go to Mount Phousi for Sunrise and Sunset Opposite the Royal Palace Museum is Mount Phousi, where you can overlook the entire panorama of Luang Prabang. There are various ways to enjoy the sunset; if you don't want to climb the mountain, you can also stay in a riverside café or restaurant, or take a Mekong River sunset cruise. Duration: It takes 10-15 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. . 3️⃣Visit a Quiet, Clean Night Market After dark, the road between Mount Phousi and the Royal Palace Museum turns into a night market, which is worth visiting. Unlike the bustling night markets in China, the vendors here are very Buddhist. The night market is clean and quiet. Passing through the night market is a snack street, where you can find a variety of international cuisines amidst the smoke. . 4️⃣Get Up Early to Watch/Participate in Almsgiving For the locals, this is a custom that has continued for hundreds of years. Day after day, regardless of the weather, this is perhaps the power of faith. Time: You need to arrive at the main street before six in the morning. . 5️⃣Taste the Local Lao Hot Pot Here, Khemkhong view restaurant is recommended, you can follow the location to find dada cafe first, it's right opposite. Lao hot pot has grilled meat on top and meat slices to dip below, it's recommended to buy a set meal, the portion is generous, the meat quality is good, and the dipping sauce is exceptional. Price: 40 yuan per person . 🌿This city allows you to do nothing and just stay like that, it's very comfortable. Next time, I might consider staying for half a month directly.
