The Place
Luang Prabang, Laos
City introduction
Saffron robes at dawn between the Mekong and the mountains. Luang Prabang is Southeast Asia's quietest masterpiece: the dawn alms-giving procession to hundreds of saffron-robed monks, golden temples on the Mekong, Kuang Si's turquoise falls, and a French-colonial riverside built for slow evenings. A UNESCO town that still whispers.
