От центральной автостанции Вьентьян автобус 23. Остановка 19km intersection. Цена 200 тыс кип. 50 тыс кип трансфер через озеро. По жаре советую не экономить. Билеты покупать можно день в день. Приезжать надо с утра, до китайских туристов на автобусах.

Xiangkun Temple in Vientiane (Ten Thousand Buddhas Park), a must-visit attraction in Laos.
The "Internet celebrity" nine-story pagoda, the six reincarnations, the longest reclining Buddha, the monkey mouth heaven and hell tower, the standing statue of Shiva (holding a child who was killed by mistake), etc., many of which are introduced from some Buddhist stories and legends in Hinduism, and made into statues, which are extremely rare in most Buddhist places.
There is a mysterious legend behind each Buddha statue. Although they are all made of reinforced concrete, they are also delicate and beautiful, especially some facial expressions and body movements, which are closely related to the plot.

No need to pay to visit this monument. However there is a fee if you want to climb up to see the aerial view of the vacinity. There is also a fountain right behind the monument. I am not sure what time it is turned on but when I arrived there was music playing and the fountain was on. Shame that by the time I took photos, the fountain turned off.

It's a pretty good shooting range, a bit pricey, but I'd still recommend coming at least once – great value for money! Pistols are cheap, rifles and sniper rifles are more expensive; if you want to shoot them all, I suggest choosing a package! I've shot rifles in Thailand before, where the bullet caliber was reduced, so there was no recoil. Here, the rifles aren't modified to use smaller caliber bullets, so it's a really enjoyable shooting experience! The instructor speaks basic Chinese, is very nice, explains how to operate the gun, and even lets you take pictures with the gun after you're done!

The Great Pagoda in Laos should be part of the That Luang Temple and is also a landmark building in Laos, because there is a special festival called "That Luang Festival" here. The Great Pagoda is a gilded pagoda. Please note that the number of circles around it should be odd. There is a long corridor next to the pagoda, which can be used to shelter from wind and rain, which is also a good intention.

Haw Phra Kaew (Lao: ຫໍພຣະແກ້ວ) was once a temple in Vientiane, Laos, located on Setthathirath Road, southwest of Wat Sisaket. It was built in 1565 to house the Emerald Buddha (Phra Kaew Morakot), but was rebuilt several times. Today, the interior is a religious art museum and a small shop.[1]

In summer, come and see the lotus flowers. The wooden boardwalk extends along the lotus pond to the center of the lake. Walking on it, you can smell the fragrance of lotus flowers all over the pond. When they are in full bloom, the pink and white petals cover the entire pond. They sway in the wind and are especially beautiful. There are freshly peeled lotus pods for sale on the shore. Three pods cost ten yuan. The lotus seeds are sweet. You can sit on the stone benches on the shore, peel lotus pods and eat lotus flowers. You can spend a leisurely afternoon without having to squeeze with people. It is much more comfortable than staying at home. The price-performance ratio is really high.
