Kuang Si Falls: High cost performance

On February 18, 2024, we visited the Kuang Si Falls located more than 20 kilometers south of Luang Prabang city in Laos. After buying tickets at the visitor center (25,000 kip per person, about 7.3 yuan), we took a scenic bus (about 800 meters, no extra charge) to the entrance of the waterfall scenic area. The vertical height of the waterfall scenic area is about 2 kilometers, and there are 4 waterfall groups from the foot of the mountain to near the top. We slowly walked up from the right side of the waterfall group (facing the waterfall mountain), and saw that the winding and winding, some places need to use hands and feet, the vegetation around the small road is very beautiful. We went up all the way, and then admired the 4 waterfalls along the way. About 60 minutes later, we arrived at the lake on the top of the mountain (it is the source of water for the 4 waterfalls in the mountains). At this moment, the T-shirt has been soaked in sweat. After a short rest, waiting for "sweat collection" (to avoid getting sick), I jumped into the lake for a swim. After eating the food we brought, we replenished our energy, and then we went down to the waterfall group closest to the lake on the top of the mountain (from bottom to top, it is the 4th waterfall group) with the help of the steel frame stairs on the left side of the waterfall group. The waterfall with the largest drop and area in this scenic area is in the shape of a right triangle, with a drop of about 200 meters, which is quite spectacular (photos 2, 5, 11-13)! With the help of the tourist road slowly down, we admired the other 3 waterfall groups from another angle, took the scenic bus to the exit, and the whole journey took 3 hours. Overall, Luang Prabang, the most famous tourist holy land, the cost of the scenic area plus the round-trip scenic bus, a total of only 25,000 kip per person, high cost performance!
