The temple is also the home of the Emerald Buddha that sits within the walls of the temple. Head to the National Museum, which was formerly the home of the Lao King, where you will gain some insight on the history and culture of Laos by viewing the exhibits that were collected, which includes some interesting pottery shards, Khmer sculptures and remnants from early historical times.

Then, you will head to either UXO Museum, where you will learn about the unexploded ordnance and how Laos is one of the most heavily bombed countries or you will travel to the Ock Pop Tok, where you admire the beautiful textiles that represents the beauty of Laos culture. Your final stop would be to the Wat Visoun temple, that was constructed in 1513 and thus one of the oldest temple in Luang Prabang. Discover a wide array of ancient artefacts and precious goods that are present in the temple, all of which are associated with Buddhism and the royal family. Within the Wat Visoun temple, there stands an enormous stupa that exudes eternal glory and beauty, which makes the stupa a perfect backdrop for your pictures!
