The Royal Palace of Laos
If you are visiting Laos, specifically in the city of Luang Prabang, then you must go for a trip to the Royal Palace!
Although the place is no longer the house for the royalties, it is now a museum which houses many interesting historical artefacts which you can learn all about the Lao history.
The place is a tastefully mixture of traditional Lao and French architecture style, and is amazingly beautiful.
Photos are not allowed in the palace itself, which on the other hand, gives a great opportunity for us to immerse ourself in the history.
Location wise, it is located right in the main city area, which is very walkable from all major hotels and guest houses.
Definitely recommended to visit here! #unforgettableexperiences #momentssg #scenicspotguide #summervacation

This palace is closed on Mondays, so make sure you come and visit on other days. You also need to wear appropriate clothes to enter. This place is not so big, 1 hour is enough to see around! #happynewyear #laos

"🌟Two days and one night, explore the green secrets of Luang Prabang🌿—a journey of ecological wonder in a World Heritage site👣"
🏞️In Luang Prabang, nature and culture coexist harmoniously, waiting for you to embark on a unique exploration🔍. In December 1995🌍, the UNESCO seal of approval✨—a World 'Natural and Cultural' Dual Heritage, added a dazzling halo to this ancient city.
🌄On the first day, set off in the faint morning light, following the sound of temple bells🔔, trace the glory of the Lan Xang Kingdom at the Luang Prabang Royal Palace 🏰. In the afternoon, immerse yourself in the emerald waves and green valleys of Kuang Si Falls 💦, allowing your body and mind to relax completely. At dusk, the sunset over Phou Si Hill🌄 will be a beautiful silhouette in your camera lens.
🌙On the second day, participate in the alms giving ceremony in the early morning 🙏, feeling the purity and tranquility. A Mekong River boat trip🚤 takes you through the green mountains and waters, admiring the natural wonders. And every stone slab road, every ancient temple in the old city, narrates a thousand-year-old story.
💌This is a feast for the senses, a touch to the soul of ecological and cultural splendor. Luang Prabang, discover its extraordinariness, experience its simplicity, and preserve those unforgettable moments📸.

Per Capita 2k | Luang Prabang Pure Enjoyment Travel Guide
| Luang Prabang Pure Enjoyment Travel Guide.
Luang Prabang in Laos is known as 'Chiang Mai from ten years ago.' It is a true 'slow' city! Here, the most common things we do are cycling around leisurely, drinking coffee, and turning the everyday life into a journey.
.
📔Basic Information about Laos
⏰Time Difference: Laos time is -1 from Beijing time.
🧭Navigation: Google Maps is recommended, and it can also be used to find restaurants, which is very reliable.
✉️Language: Laotians are not very good at English, sometimes speaking Chinese is even more effective than English.
🌧Climate: It is slightly cold in Laos in the morning and evening during winter, short sleeves are fine at noon, just bring a thin coat. Sun protection is necessary.
🎐Customs: Laos is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country. Most temples have dress codes and do not allow exposed skin.
📞Phone Cards: It's cheapest to buy an international phone card in advance.
🕹Power Sockets: Remember to bring a converter plug.
🏠Hotels are very cheap, we spent an average of 1k per person which raised the overall expenses, but actually, you can stay in a nice hotel for just five or six hundred.
.
✨Several Must-Do Experiences in Luang Prabang✨
1️⃣Visit Temples and Museums
Luang Prabang is a famous ancient capital and Buddhist center of Laos. Strolling through the city, you'll find ancient temples everywhere, and most experiences here are also related to religion. Wat Xiengthong is a representative temple of Luang Prabang, and the Royal Palace Museum helps you understand the history and local customs of Laos.
Note: Skin exposure is not allowed when entering temples.
.
2️⃣Go to Mount Phousi for Sunrise and Sunset
Opposite the Royal Palace Museum is Mount Phousi, where you can overlook the entire panorama of Luang Prabang. There are various ways to enjoy the sunset; if you don't want to climb the mountain, you can also stay in a riverside café or restaurant, or take a Mekong River sunset cruise.
Duration: It takes 10-15 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain.
.
3️⃣Visit a Quiet, Clean Night Market
After dark, the road between Mount Phousi and the Royal Palace Museum turns into a night market, which is worth visiting. Unlike the bustling night markets in China, the vendors here are very Buddhist. The night market is clean and quiet. Passing through the night market is a snack street, where you can find a variety of international cuisines amidst the smoke.
.
4️⃣Get Up Early to Watch/Participate in Almsgiving
For the locals, this is a custom that has continued for hundreds of years. Day after day, regardless of the weather, this is perhaps the power of faith.
Time: You need to arrive at the main street before six in the morning.
.
5️⃣Taste the Local Lao Hot Pot
Here, Khemkhong view restaurant is recommended, you can follow the location to find dada cafe first, it's right opposite. Lao hot pot has grilled meat on top and meat slices to dip below, it's recommended to buy a set meal, the portion is generous, the meat quality is good, and the dipping sauce is exceptional.
Price: 40 yuan per person
.
🌿This city allows you to do nothing and just stay like that, it's very comfortable. Next time, I might consider staying for half a month directly.

Laos temples are really great for taking photos 🇱🇦 and there are basically no tourists.
The photo is of the Luang Prabang Palace. Tourists are very few in all of Laos' temples, and the style is unique, making it especially suitable for taking photos 📸.

Laos Travel | Amazing Camera Angles of Luang Prabang Palace
For traveling to Laos, Luang Prabang is the first choice.
I really don't want to leave Luang Prabang. The original plan was to visit four cities, but now I've been staying in Luang Prabang, taking pictures of the scenery, drinking coffee and enjoying the breeze. When I get tired, I get a massage, which is very comfortable.

Luang Prabang Palace (Luang Prabang Royal Palace) is located at the foot of Phousi Mountain, next to the foreigner street. The palace requires a ticket and closes for lunch break, so if you just want to take beautiful photos, you don't actually need to go inside. The opposite viewpoint can take many beautiful photos.
📷[Camera position]
1.The classic camera position of the left diagonal viewing platform of the palace.
2. Sit in front of the stairs and take a photo, make sure it's straight.
3. Sitting on the bench on the platform, looking into the distance, feels very emotional.
4. Pretend to walk along the Palace Street, take a few shots and choose the best ones.
5. Shot leaning against the outer wall of the palace.
⚠️[Attention]
❶The night market tents will be set up after 4-5 pm in the afternoon, please go early for filming.

It’s good to see the royal palace and see the simplicity in how they lived their lives. The grounds also have a garage with the cars they used to drive which is nice . All the buildings and the gardens need a bit of love and care . There seems to be no maintenance. #wintergetaway
