Wat Xieng Thong

Top choice in Luang Prabang

LoginSave

Luang Prabang's best-known monastery is centred on a 1560 蝉菒尘 (ordination hall). Its roofs sweep low to the ground and there's a stunning 'tree of life' mosaic set on its western exterior wall. Close by are several stupas and three compact little chapel halls called 丑艔谤. H艔r 茐膮i, shaped like a tall tomb, houses a standing Buddha. The H艔r 茐膮i Pha Sai-ny脿at, dubbed La Chapelle Rouge 鈥 the Red Chapel 鈥 by the French, contains a rare reclining Buddha.

Fronted in lavish gilt work, the H贸hng K茅p M卯en stores a ceremonial carriage, festooned with red-tongued naga (river serpents) designed to carry the golden funeral urns of Lao royalty.
