Best things to do in Luang Prabang

Editor's Choice

Explore the cultural and natural landmarks of Luang Prabang. The multi-tiered Kuang Si Falls offers turquoise swimming pools and sits adjacent to a sanctuary for rescued Asiatic black bears. In the historic center, Haw Pha Bang stands as a testament to early 20th-century architecture within the Royal Palace grounds. For panoramic views, Mount Phou Si provides a vantage point over the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers, while the golden stupa of Wat Pa Phon Phao offers a quiet retreat on the city's outskirts.
