Activities in Luang Prabang, Laos

Luang Prabang is where I fell in love with Laos. This charming town, located in the northern part of Laos, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is a blend of Lao traditional architecture with European colonial style buildings. The streets are filled with restaurants, shops, and temples.

After a quick 55-minute flight from Vientiane, we arrived in Luang Prabang. My friends and I had such a great experience using Lao Airlines. I highly recommend Lao Airlines for your travels within Asia. Most accommodations are found in the downtown area. However, we opted for a private villa using Airbnb along the Mekong River just outside of town. If you are a solo traveler, I would recommend staying in town where you have easy access to everything.

Initially, I thought traveling to Vientiane, Laos from Shanghai, China would be super easy. However, there is no direct flight to Laos from China.

After a long night of sleeping on the floor in the Kunming Airport, I caught my next flight to Vientiane.
