We've been in Luang Prabang in April March 2013 and it's a very beautiful City. the Golden Temple is stunning.

The word "wat" in Lao means temple,so it is the Temple of the Golden City. Wat Xieng Thong is very old, built around 1560 by King Setthathirat, a patron of Buddhism, who ruled Laos from 1548 to 1571. The temple is located in a beautiful garden on the bank of the Mekong River where the Nam Khan, a smaller river... More

This beautiful wat has a very relaxed athmosphere. Very quiet, not crowded at all. Definitively worth a visit.

Worth a visit especially to see the ceremonial boat. The architecture and mosaics are very nice. Certainly something to put on the places to visit.

As a working Wat it is interesting to watch the monks go about their business. Elegant buildings, worn by age and the weather, give them a comforting feel. Worth a look.

To visit the Buddhist Temple in Luang Prabang or in Laos and any of Buddhism religious it is our chance to know how local people respect and follow up it and learn how meaning it is!!! I hope these different from what you seen and know would be surely different, I 'd like to come the biggest Festival... More

To many wats in Laos but this one is really nice as well nice deror architecture. 30 mintutes enough for us to visit this place. Neaby old town to visit any ways. High recommended this wat.

What can you say. it's a wat. If you've seen one you've seen them all. Some nice picture opportunities but nothing spectacular that stands out. I suppose it's a must see item in LP, but definitely not worth the trip alone.
