Dien Bien

Luang Prabang

At sunrise each day, a line of monks in saffron robes walks through the streets of Luang Prabang to receive alms offered by local residents. The town serves as the historic capital of Luang Prabang Province in north‑central Laos and displays a mix of Lao architecture, French colonial buildings, and more than thirty Buddhist temples. In 1995 the city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for this unique cultural landscape. The protected heritage zone includes 33 of the town’s 58 villages, where traditional rituals continue alongside everyday life.

Oudomxay

The province’s mountains climb from 300 to 1,800 metres, shaping a terrain of steep valleys and fast‑flowing rivers. Oudomxay lies in north‑west Laos, touching China along a 15‑kilometre stretch and bordering five Lao provinces. Its capital, Muang Xay, rests on the Nam Kor river, which threads through the town’s market streets.
