This title includes: regional map of mighty Mekong river from
source to sea; UNESCO World Heritage sites; French colonial
Vientiane; exquisite Luang Prabang; Pak Ou Caves; Khone Pha Pheng
Falls; and, coffee-growing regions. Laos has been discovered.
Pristine and exotic in a changing world where other Asian cultures
have been affected by rapid development, Laos is still green. The
rivers mostly run free through sites well worth visiting, from the
ancient Khmer temple of Vat Phou in the south to the former royal
capital of Luang Prabang in the north. But if you want to see the
old Laos you have to move fast. Luang Prabang, an exquisite little
town on the banks of the life-giving Mekong, is a UNESCO World
Heritage site and the main Mecca for tourists. The town is home to
some of the finest Buddhist temples anywhere. Charming old colonial
mansions are now hotels, trendy restaurants, or upscale boutiques.
Al fresco restaurants serving spicy Lao fare line the riverside. A
night bazaar with dozens of stalls offers high-quality woven silk
scarves, silver jewellery, and embroidered Hmong bedspreads, just a
few of the popular wares available. Laos has a long, rich tradition
of silk weaving, and textiles are not just a "best buy" for
tourists. They represent the most important craftwork done in the
country and in some ways define the Lao nation. Also on the Mekong,
the capital Vientiane still has the look of a French provincial
town complete with tree-lined streets, fading colonial buildings,
and sidewalk cafes. Its trendy restaurants offer fusion cuisine as
a counterpoint to traditional fiery Lao fare. The city's most
prominent monument, Patuxai, closely resembles the pride of Paris,
the Arc de Triomphe. Upstream from Luang Prabang, at the confluence
of the Ou River, are the Pak Ou Caves, an easy day trip by
long-tail boat through pastoral countryside and jungle-covered
mountains. The two caves, etched over millennia out of limestone
karst cliffs, contain hundreds of images of the Buddha donated by
generations of believers. To get away from the heat along the
river, travellers head to the Bolaven Plateau, a fertile upland
area known for its cooler climate, dramatic waterfalls, and (thanks
to the French) some of the best coffee in the world. This is the
gateway to the higher mountains to the east and the hill tribes. A
trip to southern Laos should include a visit to the spectacular the
Khone Pha Pheng Falls, where the usually languid Mekong boils and
tumbles through eight miles of wild cataracts that effectively
close the river to navigation. One of the key attractions of Laos
is the people. Sixty percent of the population is ethnic Lao, who
migrated from China a millennium ago. The rest are largely upland
people representing about fifty hill tribes. The Lao are mostly
Theravada Buddhists who live in the valleys and are famed for being
easy-going, party-loving and affable. A precious pearl of a country
blessed with pristine natural beauty, exotic flora and rare fauna,
Laos hosts the mighty Mekong for a significant distance during its
almost 5,000 kilometre journey from the Tibetan Plateau to the sea.
