786 The jaw-dropping interior of the Arc de Triomphe
While walking and eating, the two of them walked slowly across the square to the side of the Arc de Triomphe, and the two of them stopped at a position dozens of meters away from the Arc de Triomphe and admired it from afar.
It is surrounded by arched doors and carvings, which look like a triumphal arch in Paris, France, from a distance, but on the base of its arch, there are typical Lao temple carvings and decorations, full of exquisite carvings with Buddhist colors, showing the traditional national culture and art of Laos.
"The Arc de Triomphe in Laos is about 45 meters high and 24 meters wide, and its specific location is in the center of Vientiane, near the Prime Minister's Palace, facing the President's Palace. The construction of this triumphal arch began in 1960 and was basically completed in 1969, which lasted nine years, and can be said to be a large monument.
Originally built to commemorate those who died in the war, during the liberation in 1975, Vientiane City was marked by a parade of people celebrating the victory, known as the Arc de Triomphe to commemorate this historic event.
By the way, you can go up to the top of the Arc de Triomphe to enjoy the cityscape of Vientiane after coming here, but you need to buy a ticket here, of course, those who like architecture, don't forget to stand inside the Arc de Triomphe can enjoy the decoration of the eaves overhead, its architecture embodies the essence of typical Lao architecture. ”
After talking about it briefly, he didn't plan to explain it too carefully, so Zhang Yang took He Xiaoman and walked towards the high 'imitation Kai' arch.
Only after walking in, almost everyone who comes to this Arc de Triomphe will find an indisputable fact, that is, if you have actually been to the Arc de Triomphe in France, you will definitely be able to see how simple this Arc de Triomphe is.
Especially after the two of them walked in, the two of them were shocked at the time.
I originally thought it was a tourist building, but after entering, it was a small market!
But then Zhang Yang thought about it carefully, in Southeast Asia, where anything can be opened, it seems that this situation is not uncommon at all, and it is understandable that there are compassionate M everywhere in tourist buildings.
However, it has to be said that the inside of this triumphal arch is also extremely simple, except for the unexpected market, there are two stairs that allow tourists to go up and down.
"Poof, don't tell me this is the Arc de Triomphe?"
"Haha, this TND is simply a small market!"
"Is it so weird? I thought it was the same as our domestic tourist buildings, and after entering, the high-end atmosphere was high-grade, but I didn't expect it to be so low. ”
"But I feel pretty good about that...... Poof, allow me to laugh for a while, this is a trip to shopping!"
"Looking at Brother Yang's wife's shocked look, she is probably scared!"
"I came to this place once a few years ago, and when I came in, I was almost not frightened, and I thought I had crossed in the wrong place. ”
He Xiaoman was already shocked and didn't know what to say at this time, and looked at the stalls selling T-shirts inside, the white walls were full of all kinds of T-shirts, and the stalls below were also full of all kinds of jewelry, and the boss was there to greet the tourists who were also shocked.
couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhang Yang, and He Xiaoman asked a little unsure.
"Husband, this is the historic Arc de Triomphe of Laos?
Zhang Yang didn't feel very surprised, he read a few blogs on the Internet before, and thought it was the blogger who was talking nonsense, even if there were photos and no evidence at the time, he still didn't believe it, but after seeing it at this time, he was completely defeated by the people here.
But I have to say that even if the inside has become a place of business, but the triumphal arch is very well protected both inside and outside, the white walls, clear lines, it doesn't look like a place that has been open for a long time at all, and even just now he saw a stall owner who was preventing two tourists from wanting to 'touch' the idea of the lines on the pillar in the corner next to them, after all, those two guys did not touch with their hands, but with keys.
"Well, that's called rational planning and utilization, and I think that's pretty good. ”
Zhang Yang had to explain it like this, and then felt that what he had just said seemed to be a little untenable, so he simply moved out the explanation that he was going to say after he was ready to come in, "Seeing the elegant art inside".
"Laos, a landlocked country located in Southeast Asia, many people once thought that this country's international presence has not been high, and neither Laos nor its economic development level ranked in the world.
However, the Arc de Triomphe in Laos still has a certain reputation in the world.
Don't you know what happened behind the Arc de Triomphe in the quiet country of Laos?"
Speaking of Laos, the glutinous rice is still very particular about cooking, generally the first night to soak the glutinous rice in water overnight, wait until the next morning, scoop up the glutinous rice, put it in a bamboo covered funnel-shaped container, and then slowly steam for 30-40 minutes.
And the local people in Laos like to eat sticky rice into a small ball, and then dip it in some local unique condiments, interested friends can try it at home, this kind of glutinous rice is still very simple to make, as for the combination of dipping sauces, you can choose and create by yourself, haha!"
Of course, the glutinous rice here is not only glutinous rice, but also the unique grilled glutinous rice is also worth tasting.
After the sticky rice is flattened and worn, it is roasted and seasoned, and the choice of spicy or sweet taste is entirely up to you.
In this way, it seems that many foods in Laos are relatively simple, but there are more spices and seasonings, and some people who come here may not be able to adapt to it, but they will taste it carefully or feel that the taste is very special after a while.
The breakfast here is another one that makes Zhang Yang feel that it is more good is the fried cake, after frying, its flavor is delicate and delicate, the taste is fragrant and very delicious, and there are more to see this morning.
Zhang Yang came along the way, and saw a lot of tourists who came out in the morning to forage for food.
Of course, in addition to these breakfasts, Laotians also eat porridge, rice noodles and so on in the morning, and Laotian rice is the standard breakfast in Laos, the soup is very delicious, with some chicken or pork, and a plate of raw vegetables, you can add fish sauce, lime juice, dried chilies, mint leaves, perilla, or chili sauce according to your taste, it is still worth trying.
Zhang Yang, who was standing in front of the RV door again, entered the RV with He Xiaoman, and after resting for more than an hour, the two of them finally walked out of the RV again, and the time of this meeting was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and this time they still didn't bring the four little guys in the car.
