Luang Prabang has rare but classic wooden buildings. The only stone structures are the temples and one or two stone brick houses. The more sophisticated temples have more rich furniture such as sculptures, engravings, paintings, gilding and furniture pieces. One of the more complex structures is the Wat Xieng Thong temple. (See below)
They keep older buildings made from plaited bamboo panels coated with wattle and daub. These buildings have balconies and many decorative woods. There is also much more than just the buildings, such as that the naga (a half snake, half human) came from this place. Do you think you would like to just walk through Luang Prabang to look at the beautiful architecture?
