Nestled alongside the Mekong river, French colonial architecture takes on a distinctly Laotian flair here. The city is vibrant and happening; it\u2019s a magical place, filled with <a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/backpacking-southeast-asia\/\">backpackers<\/a> and off-beat honeymooners, where time seems to stand still and you can spend days exploring the nearby natural wonders and wandering down cute alleyways bursting with colorful cafes. It has everything from cozy places to relax on the river to over thirty unique Buddhist temples and pulsing night clubs. Ready to explore?

And guess what? You can participate in the ceremony too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locals set up booths around town selling food that you can give to the monks. If you just want to watch and take it all in, that\u2019s totally okay, but make sure to do it respectfully. Stand on the other side of the road if you want to take pictures and make sure that you\u2019re dressed appropriately. No bare legs and shoulders, just like if you were to go into one of the temples.

It\u2019s one of the most popular places to watch the sunset, with incredible views of Luang Prabang, the Mekong, and the mountains nearby. If you want a more chilled out experience, it\u2019s much less busy earlier in the day, and it\u2019s also much cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way up, you can stop at a shrine with a statue of the reclining Buddha in a little grotto, or stop at several of the resting places along the way for a breather and a nice view. At the top of the mountain there\u2019s an especially picturesque temple, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luangprabang-laos.com\/That-Chomsi-Phousi-Mountain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Wat Chomsi (opens in a new tab)\">Wat Chomsi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to Wat Chomsi you can get flowers to make offerings to the Buddha, or buy caged birds to set free, which the Laos people believe brings you good luck in the future. I\u2019m pretty uncomfortable with that practice and opted to skip buying anything at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"marker-heading seeker-place seeker-place-heading\" data-latitude=\"19.749498\" data-longitude=\"101.991936\" data-placeurl=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/1--Bedcli\/kuang-si-waterfall-luang-prabang-province-laos\" data-placeid=\"11307\" class=\"wp-block-seeker-place-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/1--Bedcli\/kuang-si-waterfall-luang-prabang-province-laos\">Take a Dip at Kuang Si Waterfall<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.seeker.io\/media\/img\/1\/6b82f7ce-0084-42c2-ac01-9b6136257826-1400.jpg?placeid=11307&amp;name=Kuang%20Si%20Waterfall,%20&amp;lat=19.749498&amp;lng=101.991936\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re only going to go out of the town limits for one thing, make it this one.

The (very gentle) hike to the waterfall takes you through an entirely unexpected bear sanctuary, with rescued sun bears chilling out in hammocks and snoozing in the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The waterfalls themselves are so beautiful words don\u2019t do them justice. There\u2019s pool after pool of stunning turquoise water, which you follow up until you reach the big waterfall at the top. I was there in the dry season and it was still roaring; I can only imagine how much water passes through here in wetter weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend hiking to the top of the falls, which is a steep and slightly slippery trek but rewards you with a beautiful shaded pool featuring a rope swing and little fish who will nibble on your feet. You\u2019ll have to pay good kip for that if you want the same treatment in town. If you\u2019re feeling especially adventurous, you can even hike to the spring that the waterfall comes from a few kilometers away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"marker-heading seeker-place seeker-place-heading\" data-latitude=\"20.049627\" data-longitude=\"102.210152\" data-placeurl=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/ahvIyxmjB\/pak-ou-caves-\u0e96\u0ec9\u0eb3\u0e95\u0eb4\u0ec8\u0e87-luang-prabang-province-laos\" data-placeid=\"11308\" class=\"wp-block-seeker-place-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/ahvIyxmjB\/pak-ou-caves-\u0e96\u0ec9\u0eb3\u0e95\u0eb4\u0ec8\u0e87-luang-prabang-province-laos\">Explore the Pak Ou Caves<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.seeker.io\/media\/img\/1\/72feedf0-8974-4eb7-ac46-923ce9632a67-1400.jpg?placeid=11308&amp;name=Pak%20Ou%20Caves%20%E0%BA%96%E0%BB%89%E0%BA%B3%E0%BA%95%E0%BA%B4%E0%BB%88%E0%BA%87,%20&amp;lat=20.049627&amp;lng=102.210152\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/ahvIyxmjB\/pak-ou-caves-%E0%BA%96%E0%BB%89%E0%BA%B3%E0%BA%95%E0%BA%B4%E0%BB%88%E0%BA%87-luang-prabang-province-laos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Pak Ou Caves (opens in a new tab)\">Pak Ou Caves<\/a>, whose name means \u2018Mouth of the Ou River,\u2019 are one of the holiest sites in Laos.
