Experience a profound encounter with the sacred history of Laos as you explore the 16th century Wat Xieng Thong temple. Also known as the Temple of the Golden City, it’s considered to be the most beautiful in Luang Prabang and has played host to the crowning of kings, offered a place of worship for monks, a space to celebrate religious festivals and a library for ancient scripts. Explore the nearby stupas and chapel halls, home to a standing Buddha and a rare reclining Buddha, and marvel at the ornate detailing and exquisite craftsmanship.
