The old quarter of Luang Prabang is located on a peninsula bounded by the Mekong River on one side and the Nam Khan River on the other. The UNESCO listed peninsula is a patchwork of Buddhist temples, Indochinese mansions converted into guesthouses and hotels, and French colonial buildings.
One of the nicest things about Luang Prabang were the night markets in Sisasangvong Street. Every night this street is closed off to traffic and rows of stalls are set up and strung with coloured lights. On sale are a range of hand made handicrafts – silverware, textiles, lanterns, paper and art.
