[Laos🇱🇦] Luang Prabang, Mount Phousi

I saw online that this is one of Luang Prabang's popular spots, so I decided to check it out.
There seem to be two entrances, and the one I went to purchased a ticket at the bottom and was able to climb Phousi Hill.
After about 15 minutes of climbing the stairs, I reached the top.
Since it had rained that morning, I was able to see a rainbow (around the mountain's edge on the left in the first photo).
I felt incredibly lucky.

On my way back, I descended down a different side than the one I came up, and arrived along the river. At this entrance, the ticket counter is a few steps up the stairs, and several tourists asked me where the ticket counter was, so it might be a little confusing.
They sell ice cream at the entrance, and I had planned to get some on my way back, but I ended up descending on the other side, so my only regret is that I missed out on the ice cream.
