🚗 Day 1: Countryside and Pastoral Roaming
▪️ Kuang Si Falls: The three-tiered turquoise waterfall is breathtakingly beautiful! You can swim, hike~ You absolutely must visit the mountaintop cafe!
▪️ Rice Field Cafe: You can stop by on your way back, drink Laotian iced coffee by the lush green rice fields, full of pastoral charm 🌾
▪️ Dinner: After returning to the hotel and resting, head to the Mekong Riverfront. There are many popular riverside spots along the bank~
Any one you choose will be great! Watching the sunset over the Mekong River is super romantic~
TIPS: Chartered car for a day trip (approx. 900,000 Kip/car)

🚶 Day 2: Luang Prabang Citywalk and Slow Living
▪️ Royal Palace Museum: The palace of Laos' last king, with a golden dome + incredibly ornate murals! The courtyard is also very photogenic!
▪️ Wat Xieng Thong: A must-see is the "Tree of Life" mosaic mural! It sparkles in the sunlight, and the temple corners are also great for photos 📸
▪️ Handicraft Shops: Weaving workshops and jewelry/clothing stores next to the main street (Sisavangvong Road) offer local specialties, perfect for souvenirs.
▪️ Nightlife: Night Market + Street Stalls + Bars on Sisavangvong Road!
The bar street in the middle of the night market is highly recommended; every bar is super CHILL! There are foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes everywhere, no wonder they say Laos is a paradise for "European backpackers"!

🌅 Day 3: Southeast Asian Charm
▪️ Morning Alms Giving: Arrive near the entrance of Sisavangvong Road at 5:30 AM, buy some sticky rice and snacks to participate in the ceremony. The procession of monks in orange robes is incredibly moving (remember to maintain a solemn demeanor).
▪️ Morning Market Breakfast: After the alms giving, you can explore the morning market (on Sisavangvong Road).
▪️ Mekong River Cruise: There are many cruises nearby; you can charter a boat or join a group (approx. 350,000 Kip/person). The boat also includes performances and a simple meal with drinks. The breeze blowing by is incredibly pleasant!

💡 Travel Tips
✅ When entering temples, you must wear long pants/skirts. No photos allowed inside the Royal Palace!
✅ It's more convenient to use Kip when buying things in Laos. Some shops accept Visa. Remember to exchange back to RMB when you return home.
✅ It's recommended to visit between October and March when the weather is cool and dry.
