What travelers say:
The typical Chuanqi architectural style highlights the distinctiveness of Shoumugong Temple. Built in 1840, the main hall's straight and inclined roof shows a very rough temperament. The walls and pillars of the hall are covered with golden sculptures, and there are many small Buddhist pagodas around the temple.

Guardians Embrace at Wat Choum#2024wish In the waning days of 2023, I embarked on an unforgettable journey to Wat Choum Khong Sourin Tharame in Luang Prabang, a hidden gem adorned with Chinese Guardian Gods. As I wandered through the temple's serene courtyard, the intricate carvings and vibrant colors left an indelible impression. The fusion of Lao and Chinese cultures was evident in every corner, creating a unique spiritual ambiance. Monks gracefully moved about, offering glimpses into the temple's sacred rituals. The tranquility of the surroundings and the reverence of the devotees made the experience truly enchanting. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the temple, I whispered a promise to return. In 2024, I wish to go there again.TimentoDiver

The walls and pillars of the hall are covered with golden sculptures, and there are many small Buddhist pagodas around the temple.
This temple is next to the Palace Museum. It's not accessible inside, it can only be visited outside. The appearance of the building is golden and brilliant. Photographs were taken with the palm trees next to them. And it's also a very popular tourist attraction, many tourists will come here to take photos. Tickets are not accepted here.
The temple is on the road of the night market. The temple is not very big, but its shape is very beautiful. The red roof is said to be made of wood. There are monks in the temple. Visits are charged. Next door is a museum.
