With beautiful ruins and a culture driven by Theravadean Buddhism, Laos is a
great destination for travelers to Asia.
With two World Heritage sites, Luang Prabang and Wat Phou, there is much to
see in Laos. The amazing temples and stunning scenery make Luang Prabang and Wat
Phou a must for visitors to Laos. The government is also seeking World Heritage
site status for the Plain of Jars.
One of the most historically rich cultural sites in Laos, the Plain of Jars
contains thousands of stone jars spread out across the Xieng Khouang plain.
These jars range in size from three to ten feet in height and weigh up to
fourteen tons!
Dining is Laos is a true treat. The Lao cuisine is one of the best Southeast
Asian cuisine; distinct from many other Asian countries. While sticky rice plays
an important role in every meal, spicy mixtures of fish and meat with vegetables
make Lao cuisine delicious.
With an abundance of culture, sites, cuisine, and scenery, Laos is the
perfect destination for your next Asian vacation.
