High-speed rail direct to a seriously underrated UNESCO World Heritage small town in Southeast Asia

Finally arrived at the city listed as a "World Heritage" site by the United Nations 🇱🇦. Stepping into Luang Prabang, this World Heritage small town, red rooftops stretch along the Mekong River, and even the morning footsteps of monks receiving alms 🙏 seem to tell stories spanning a century. 📸 Follow this photo spot guide Capture the unhurried moments of Laos through your lens ❶ At six in the morning in Luang Prabang, join the locals holding sticky rice and wait quietly 🍚, watching monks in orange robes slowly pass by. Almsgiving is not charity, but a shared planting of goodwill. ❷ Take photos of the Luang Prabang Royal Palace Museum from the ticket office of Mount Phousi. ❸ The Royal Palace Museum, magnificent and splendid, blending traditional Laotian and French elements. ❹ Wat Xieng Thong, use the door frame to compose shots of the exquisite stained glass decorated relief walls 🪟. ❺ Lotus Restaurant, with three lotus ponds in the courtyard listed as World Cultural Heritage 🪷. ❻ Watch the sunset 🌅 from Mount Phousi, overlooking the entire ancient town and the Mekong River. ❼ Rice field coffee ☕️ like Hua Shao’s favorite, enjoy a cup of coffee with the breeze from the rice fields. ❽ Kuang Si Waterfall 💦, the blue-green pools are so healing; the moment you step into the water, all the heat and restlessness are washed away.
