    Our today tour will take us to the places of interest in Vientiane that will make you fall in love.

    The first destination is Vat Phra Keo, which is an astounding temple from 1565. Not just the beautiful style that makes the temple special but the ornaments are also delicate. In the past, the temple used to honor the famous Emerald Buddha image.

    Turn to the next temple – Vat Sisaket. The temple is unique with thousands of Buddha images that are carved, stored on the wall. Moreover, when visiting the temple, you will also have a chance to open the book of history from 1818.

    Pha That Loung is a temple that preserves the architecture of Laotian well since 1566. Through time, there is damage that the temple had suffered in several damages so in 1930, it was repaired. Pha That Loung means significantly to the Laotian and today, the temple becomes a national symbol, which makes people remind of Laos whenever they think of the memorable experience they had here.

    Hop on another well-known construction, this time is Patuxai. This is a memorial monument that dated back to 1957. For a long time, the construction has been an important landmark in the city. If you want to have an overview of the city, you can get to the top of the monument and enjoy the panorama. Inside out, the monument is a piece of art. It looks gorgeous with the combination architecture of the Triomphe in Paris and Laos typical style.

    Then, we will stop for a busy but exciting time at the Talat Sao market. This market is a typical local market, which is really famous in the city. Take your time wandering around, you can find there are many interesting things and yummy dishes, snacks to bring home.

    In the afternoon, let’s discover the Buddha Park, where also an interesting place that tourists should visit. Located 25km from the city, it takes us about 20 – 30 minutes to get there via vehicle. In the Park, there are over 200 statues that are beautifully carved, which are available from all sizes, all height. These statues of Buddha and Hindu are made of concrete, including the gigantic Buddha that is 40 meters long.

    You will not only find Buddha statues but also some characters with the shape of humans, Godhead, animals, and monsters. You can also get inside a 3-meter-high pumpkin through a monster’s mouth and take some nice photos. The 3 stories are Hell, the Underworld, and Heaven respectively.

I had chance to know about the three stories at the Buddha Park - Hell, the Underworld, and Heaven from the tour guide, all of them were intriguing, I really enjoyed learning about the different beliefs and cultures. Overall, the tour was fantastic, and I had a great time exploring the beautiful and historic places in Vientiane.

The Buddha Park was a unique and interesting place that is definitely worth visiting. The statues were beautifully carved, and the different characters and stories were fascinating. The pumpkin-shaped entrance at the Buddha Park was a fun and creative way to take photos believe me, don't miss it

The tour was amazing, and I loved the beautiful temples and their intricate designs. Vat Phra Keo was a stunning temple that left me in awe. Then I had a great time visiting Vat Sisaket and learning about its history. The thousands of Buddha images carved on the walls were truly impressive.
