The ancient city of Luang Prabang on the Mekong River

June 3, 2020, 10, is the Lantern Festival in Laos. People take pictures in the ancient city of Luang Prabang, which is full of lanterns. Luang Prabang, located on the Mekong River and surrounded by mountains in northern Laos, was once the capital of the Lancang Kingdom, which was the first unified multi-ethnic country in Laos' history from 14 to16th century. The ancient city of Luang Prabang was listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1995, and has now become a symbol of Laos' history and culture. There are both traditional resplendent Buddhist temples and western-style buildings left over from the French colonial period. Walking into Luang Prabang means walking into the history of Laos.
