Buddhist Temples

Luang Prabang's spiritual landscape is defined by its collection of centuries-old wats, characterized by the distinct Luang Prabang architectural style of low-sweeping roofs and intricate gold stenciling. This selection features Wat Xieng Thong, a 16th-century royal temple, and Wat Visoun, the city’s oldest religious site. Highlights include the vibrant murals of Wat Pa Huak, the maroon and gold facade of Wat Sene Souk Haram, and the hilltop shrines of Mount Phousi. These sites offer insight into the region's Lan Xang heritage and ongoing Buddhist traditions.
