The Wat Xieng Thong Temple: Architectural Brilliance Under the Sun in Laos
Enter Laos through the “gates of the city,” the Wat Xieng Thong Temple, where ambassadors arrived during the time when Luang Prabang was the capital of the country. By exploring the 20 structures that make up Wat Xieng Thong, you can learn about the legend of the Tree of Life, depicted on one of the walls of the Ordination Hall—where Laotian kings were crowned—or be amazed by the funeral carriage that carries their remains. You will be dazzled by the 7 golden serpents that pull the barge to take the monarchs to the afterlife, surrounded by red teakwood with scenes from the Ramayana book.
"This temple was so respected that it barely suffered damage during the various plunders that Luang Prabang endured throughout its history"
As you walk among the buildings that make up Wat Xieng Thong, stroll between the solemn funeral stupas or contemplate the reclining Buddha, you will discover the devotion with which Laotians live Buddhism. Get ready to immerse yourself in the most traditional Laos! Losing oneself among the buildings of Wat Xieng Thong is one of the best experiences you can have in Luang Prabang!
