4,000 Islands

Along the windy part of the Mekong, several scattered islands both large and small will be certainly found. Most of the islands are isolated and too tiny for roads.

The most visited islands are Don Det and Don Khon, which are next to each other and connected by a bridge, you can even ride a bicycle across two whole islands. You will soon notice how chilled out this place is when you wander around the main street with lots of small cafes and restaurants everywhere. You can simply explore the scenic river views, beautiful waterfalls, and traces of French colonial architecture. Island life will be the best here!

Vientiane

Being the capital of Laos, Vientiane has a lot of monuments in the city. One of the most important monuments in Laos is Pha That Luang which was built during the 3rd century and is said to be holding a piece of Buddha’s breastbone. These Buddhist structures owe their survival to the French, who rebuilt and restored many of Vientiane’s old temples.

You can also try Lao’s beer and enjoy the sun’s ravishing show as it sets over the Mekong. And right after, you can go to the city’s night market, which is very lively and has a friendly atmosphere. There are lots of stalls which sell cheap goods such as clothes, shoes, bags, and souvenirs which can be found in the market. You can walk along the Mekong riverside, wander around to try street food outlets and restaurants along the streets if you feel hungry.

Mekong River

Considered as one of the world’s longest rivers more than 4 thousand kilometers, the Mekong River has several names with different meanings. One of them is “Lancang Jiang” which means “Turbulent River” in Chinese. It is a well-known tourist attraction so it can get overcrowded at time. But it’s worth taking a cruise along the Mekong, rowing sampan through small canals while experiencing the calm beauties of the river.

Though Champasak has an estimated population of 50 thousand, it is still one of the most visited provinces in Laos.
