Keep walking to Wat Mai - a temple renowned for its golden bas-relief and Wat Sensoukarahm which features a beautiful dazzling golden façade. We will finish this morning's tour at Wat Xieng Thong - the most revered temple in Luang Prabang. Located at the end of the peninsula, close to the Mekong, this temple was constructed in 1560 by King Setthathirat and is decorated with ornate carvings and mosaics.

    Have delicious lunch at Tamarind restaurant which is run by an Australian woman. We will have a chance to enjoy a fresh menu of Lao dishes and are dedicated to promoting a greater understanding of the local cuisine.

    In the afternoon, continue our tour of enchanting Luang Prabang. Visit Wat Visoun, the holiest temple of the city, which was entirely rebuilt in 1887 after being destroyed by the invading Black Flags from Southern China. In the courtyard of Wat Visoun stands the Watermelon Stupa shaped like the fruit from which it takes its name. After that, we will past Wat Aham, which was first built in the 1500s, and on to Wat That where the ashes of King Sisavang Vong are kept inside the large central Stupak.

    The highlight of our tour is discovering the Traditional Arts & Ethnology Centre, a museum dedicated to exploring the rich diversity of Laos' ethnic minorities. We will admire traditional costumes, tools, and artifacts are on display alongside in-depth descriptions and written histories.

    To finish our wonderful tour, we will climb the 328 stairs of Mount Phousi and view the sun set over the city and surrounding hills. Visit the hill tribe which takes place every evening around 5P.M along the main streets of town. It will be a good place for us to buy for souvenirs.
