After a short trek along the river, I arrived at Wat Xieng Thong (a Buddhist temple). In a town teeming with temples, Wat Xieng Thong is the oldest, most spectacular and most revered. Established in 1560, Wat Xieng Thong was one of only two temples in the Luang Prabang spared from a city-wide sacking in 1887. In other words, the temple complex is old, impressive and absolutely beautiful!
