For the sake of these temple buildings, I made a special trip to Luang Prabang!

Roaming in Luang Prabang, unlocking these temples that can be reached on foot. These landmarks must be on the city's business card! · · ▶️Xiangtong Temple ▫️Ticket: 8r ▫️Considered as one of the most popular temples in Luang Prabang, with magnificent and distinctive architecture, attracting many foreign tourists.
