Liking Luang Prabang

Luang Prabang is one of the most enjoyable larger cities in southeast Asia. Sure, it’s heavily geared for tourism, but in its case it does not detract from its beautiful setting nestled among the hills, a scenic riverfront, quaint city streets, beautiful temples and friendly people. It’s also home of fantastic restaurants and, for those who enjoy traditional handicrafts, a shopper’s paradise.

I only spent a few short hours in the city to overnight on my way to Luang Nam Tha (8 hours more bus, coming up), but enjoyed every minute.
