LPQ04: Luang Prabang Heritage City Highlights(Half Day)

Overview

See some of Luang Prabang’s highlights, from colonial-era architecture to elaborate temples, on a half-day tour that’s a great orientation to local history and culture. With an itinerary that features the Royal Palace Museum, Wat Choumkhong, Heuan Chan Heritage, and more, the tour also explores a bit of daily life in Luang Prabang, from the morning market to temples where locals come to pray.

Begin your tour with a pickup from your central Luang Prabang hotel then start to visit your first stop at the Royal Palace, which is today the national museum and built by French colonialists between 1904-09, displays a lovely collection of artifacts and offers you an insight into the fascinating history and culture of Laos.

Wat Xieng Thong, once known as “The Temple of the Golden City”, holds great cultural, historic, and architectural importance. It is serenely situated near the tip of the peninsula at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers, with a grand staircase leading up from the Mekong. For centuries it was considered the ceremonial gateway to the town, with visiting dignitaries and soon-to-be-crowned kings arriving via these steps.

Heuan Chan Heritage House is a traditional wooden house dated back to over 100 years ago and a very rare surviving example of a pre-colonial Lao style aristocratic mansion. It is now turning into a museum, cultural and recreational center where you are most welcome to visit and experience the authentic way of life in Luang Prabang. At the end of your trip, travel back to the hotel.

HAVE A GREAT TRIP!
