10 reasons make Luang Prabang a must see place

Laos travel is probably less popular than other destinations in Asia. However, Laos, especially Luang Prabang old town in Laos is a unique and mesmerizing place to travel. Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Laos, is a treasure trove of cultural, historical, and natural wonders. Alike to south-east Asia countries, Laos is a moderate spending country that you can stay up to a month in Laos with very low expense. If you can arrange very short time to see a glance of Laos, I would recommend visiting the most highlighted place in Laos with a Luang Prabang holiday in 4 days 3 nights. Spending 4 days in Luang Prabang, you can enjoy a pleasant vacation with cultural and natural attractions. 

Here are ten reasons why it should be on every traveler's must-see list:
