Wat Xieng Thong in Luang Prabang is so beautiful that it left me speechless.

- Before I went, I saw pictures posted by my friends, and I just thought it was exquisite... Until...I spent 20,000 kip to get there... It's really worth a visit! You have to see how exquisite it is with your own eyes! The temple is not big, but it is definitely a representative of small and exquisite, and it has a history of more than 500 years. There are Buddha statues and wooden structures in the temple. The temple does not light incense or candles. The most worthwhile thing to see is the "Tree of Life" in the backyard of the temple. It is all inlaid with colorful glass, which is gorgeous and amazing. It is also the most famous mural in Laos. There are many Theravada temples, but such exquisite ones are rare. You need to take off your shoes and hats when you enter the hall. You can take pictures without flash. In addition to the murals, there is a small window that is also worth taking pictures. It can be perfectly integrated with the murals.
