During the day, along the northern end of the street along the Nankang River, you can find a small row of stalls, and the villagers here will collect the stalls around 4 p.m. and then go to the Miao night market to continue their business.

Lao Liang said: "The locals here will set up stalls, all of which are handicrafts, and there are also some agricultural products produced at home, so that they can make a living and make some money." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Sen said, "People are still very good, setting up stalls, doing some small business, making money to subsidize the family, it's not easy to listen!"

Take a stroll around here, a quality craft gallery and workshop that sells naturally dyed, modern and traditional styles of Lao silk and cotton, as well as clothing and other decorative items.

The shop's pamphlet explains the weaving technique, how to identify the quality of the fabric, and the meaning of animal figures in Lao-style patterns, and there is also a branch on the street.

"As long as there are people, there will be a market, people always have needs, if you want to live here, you need some necessities of human life, people need to eat, to dress, but also to have a certain spiritual pursuit, need to relax, need entertainment, make the mood happy, no matter where people live, there will be these needs. ”

"Although Laos is a little backward economically, people will still find a way to exchange goods!"

"Yes, the commodity exchange has become popular, the stall business here is still very good, people also like to come here to take a stroll, listen to the sound of selling here, and feel very down-to-earth, very lively!"

"Yes, Lao Liang, come here for a walk, we also feel very happy, every time I go to a place, I will go to see, I have to come to visit the market, see where people like to go, although some markets are not as prosperous as big cities, so modern, but these are the closest places to the lives of ordinary people, very real, and very life!"

Luang Prabang's main market is the newly built market, located a few kilometres south of the city centre, and is filled with vendors selling a dazzling array of hardware, kitchenware and piles of fresh local products.

Walking south to Khao An West, you will find the market on the left side of a major intersection, and at sunset, the section of the street from the palace to this section of the road is closed to traffic due to the Hmong night market.

Lao textiles, handicrafts, jewelry, traditional medicine, as well as ancient weavings, mulberry leaf paper lanterns, mass-produced T-shirts, and other souvenirs are all sold here.

Lao Liang accompanied Zhou Sen for a walk, looking at the paper lanterns, and looking at the handicrafts, Zhou Sen said with a smile: "The locals are still quite caring, although the life is a little poor, they still come up with a way to enrich their lives." ”

The temples on the slopes of Puxi Hill are relatively new, but the climb to the temple is worth it because of the great views, especially near sunset.

"The scenery here is still very good, the natural scenery here is very good, basically it is all natural scenery, without too much artificial processing, which is the main reason for maintaining the original style and attracting tourists. ”

Lao Liang took everyone to climb the mountain to the top of the mountain to see the scenery, and there were some temples here, which impressed Zhou Sen deeply.

Entrance fees are paid at the north gate near the temple, and the highest point on the hill is the pagoda, which is also the starting point for the Lao New Year procession.

"It's going to be very lively here in the New Year!" Mr. Liang said.

There is a small cave shrine at the back of the stupa, which is sometimes called a temple, and there are ruins of a temple on the northeast side.

Zhou Sen said: "There are really many temples here!"

"Yes!" Lao Liang said, "There are many temples here, which is related to the culture and religion of Laos, and people need faith, that is to say, they need spiritual sustenance, how a person has no spiritual sustenance, life is no different from the walking dead!"

"Come to the temple, burn incense, ask for Buddha, will also make the soul calmer, sometimes people need to be quiet, in the impetuous life, let the soul rest for a while!"

Located near the northern tip of the peninsula formed by the Mekong and Nam Kham rivers, Xiangtong Temple is the most magnificent temple in Luang Prabang.

"When you come here, you must see a few more temples, this is a very unique temple here, they are all well-designed and built temples, we still come here to have a look and understand the local culture of Laos. ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Sen nodded, "Then trouble Lao Liang, take us to visit and explain the characteristics of this temple." ”

"Okay, let's come with me, I'll take you to have a tour!" Lao Liang led the way.

Zhou Sen followed Lao Liang and walked to the temple, and he also felt that the architectural style was very fresh, and it was very different from the style he was familiar with before.

Built by the king in 1560 and under royal protection until 1975, the temple is also located near the Mekong River, and the main hall represents the classic Luang Prabang temple architecture, with a spectacular tree of life motif on the back wall, and ornate wooden pillars supporting the roof covered with **.

The panels on the façade of the auditorium are carved with scenes from the epic "Ramayana", or the past is recorded, Zhou Sen looked at it, and also felt very emotional, the vicissitudes of time, although things are no longer human, but the record is still preserved.

Located to the east of the town centre, Wat Visunarat is the oldest incense temple in Luang Prabang, and has been rebuilt to house a large wooden Buddha statue of the Buddha praying for rain in the main hall with a high ceiling.

After visiting the temple, Lao Liang said, "We should also do activities, or go to participate in some outdoor activities!"

Trekking through the forest, kayaking in the river and mountain biking are just some of the things you can find here.

"Outdoor activities are still very fun, you can exercise your body, you can relax a little, I will take you to experience it again!" Lao Liang said with a smile.

Zhou Sen took everyone to the event and felt that this was a very fresh experience.

Tours include rafting, kayaking, trekking and car trips, as well as overnight stays in nearby villages.

Although the conditions are a little simpler, but it is still quite interesting, at the mouth of the Nanwu River is the most famous cave in Pawu, the limestone cliff on the lower two caves are placed in a lot of various Buddha statues, not to touch, only to watch.

On boat trips, most ferries stop at small villages along the way, a very popular stop is the village, which the boatmen call "Whisky Village", a village now occupied by tourists who specialize in the production of large jars.

"It's really interesting here, and there is whiskey to taste, it's really unexpected!" Zhou Sen was very happy and tasted it with everyone.
