#triptravelchina The Luang Prabang trip was a trip that we traveled alone. Because we wanted to relax and let go. The plan was 3 nights, 4 days. We chose to fly to Luang Prabang and stayed in a hostel in a dormitory room, which was next to the Mekong River. The price was very good and there were only foreigners. Because the plan was loose, we traveled as we pleased. Day 1: When we arrived, we walked around the old town and went up to see the sunset at Phousi Mountain. We had dinner at the Luang Prabang Night Market, followed by chilling out at a beer shop near the hostel. Day 2: We bought a one-day trip, a cruise on the Mekong River to Pak Ou Cave, a round trip of about 3-4 hours. We took a boat to see the atmosphere of the Mekong River and stopped to worship at Pak Ou Cave. Then we went to see the local handicrafts of the villagers and returned. In the afternoon, we went to Tad Fa Waterfall. Day 3: Because we had a minor accident, we walked around the city, found a coffee shop to read a book, and visited the temples and the Royal Palace in Luang Prabang. 💞Reason for recommendation: For those who want peace and relaxation not far away, I recommend Luang Prabang. It is an easy city to travel to, the cost of living is cheap, and the beer is delicious. #LuangPrabang #SoloTravel
