Dawn Alms, Golden Temples and Turquoise Falls

Luang Prabang sits on a peninsula where the Nam Khan meets the Mekong in northern Laos. It was a royal capital until the monarchy ended in 1975, and its mix of Lao temples and French colonial houses earned UNESCO World Heritage status in 1995.

Each dawn, saffron-robed monks walk the streets for tak bat, the alms-giving ceremony, as residents kneel to place sticky rice in their bowls. Visitors are asked to watch quietly or take part respectfully. Wat Xieng Thong, built in 1560, has sweeping roofs and glittering mosaics.

At sunset, people climb Mount Phousi for views over the rivers. Outside town, Kuang Si Falls tumbles into turquoise pools near a bear rescue center, and boats travel up the Mekong to the Pak Ou Caves, filled with thousands of Buddha statues.
