Do you like ancient simplicity? Which Southeast Asian country is better?

✅Laos • Luang Prabang: Once the capital of the Kingdom of Lan Xang, this exquisite and simple small mountain town is located on the banks of the Mekong River and surrounded by mountains. It is a famous ancient capital and Buddhist center. The morning alms-giving is a unique local tradition. Monks beg for alms along the street, and believers offer devoutly. The scene is quiet and sacred. • Vang Vieng: Known as "Little Guilin of Laos," it has beautiful mountains and rivers, original ecological scenery, and unique river water bars. In addition, the Tham Chang Cave was once a bunker against foreign enemies and has historical significance. •✅Cambodia • Angkor Wat: One of the seven wonders of the world and a brilliant representative of Khmer art, its exquisite stone carvings and ancient temples show the prosperity of the Khmer Empire thousands of years ago. Watch the sunset on Bakheng Hill in the evening, and the afterglow of the sunset shines on Angkor Wat, creating a beautiful scene. • Royal Palace of Phnom Penh: The palace of the King of Cambodia, with a unique architectural style, combines elements of traditional Khmer architecture and French architecture. The interior is gorgeously decorated and houses many precious cultural relics and royal gifts. ✅Vietnam • Hue Imperial City: The only relatively well-preserved palace complex in Southeast Asia built in imitation of the Ming and Qing palaces in China. Although influenced by traditional Chinese architecture, it also retains many Vietnamese cultural characteristics, such as unique ridge decorations and wall carvings. • Hoi An Ancient Town: A well-preserved traditional trading port in Southeast Asia from the 15th to the 19th century. The town has complete Chinese residential streets and buildings such as the Fujian Assembly Hall. Lanterns are hung high at night, full of ancient charm. ✅Malaysia: It performs well in inheriting traditional Chinese culture. Chinese associations, Chinese education, and Chinese media are the "three pillars" of cultural inheritance. In Penang, Malacca, and other places, there are many ancient Chinese temples, ancestral halls, and historical buildings, such as the Chew Jetty in Penang, which retains the style of early Chinese settlements.
