former royal city, tourist mecca of Laos, Luang Prabang remains a quiet town, dozing in the hills along the Mekong. When you walk between the monasteries, colonial buildings and Chinese shops, in quiet lanes, time seems to have stopped somewhere at the beginning of the century. 
At dawn the monks marched in procession through the city to receive the alms of the inhabitants. The kneeling women distribute to each a ration of sticky rice.
We loved strolling through the shops of silks, watch the games sepak takraw (volleyball is playing at the feet), comment parts of Petang , watch as the boats on the river terraces and tasting fruit juice in the markets.
an hour's tuk-tuk, one finds the impressive waterfalls cascade down the Kwang Si jungle terrace .
