What about Laos?

Laos is the only landlocked country in the northern part of Indochina Peninsula and one of the least developed countries in the world. Agriculture is the mainstay, and the foundation of industry and service industry is weak. It is not recommended for immigrants to settle down, which is suitable for tourism.

Laos borders China in the north, Cambodia in the south, Vietnam in the east, Myanmar in the northwest and Thailand in the southwest. Mekong River flows through 1800 kilometers, with a land area of 236,830 square kilometers.

Laos is rich in water resources, producing teak, pear and other precious wood. Laos is a member of WTO and ASEAN, a member of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (10+ 1) and a cooperative member of Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS).

Places of interest in Laos:

(1) Shigang Plain in Kawasaki Province:

Shigang Plain in Chuanqi Province is located near Fengshawan, the capital of Chuanqi Province in Laos, about 7 kilometers away from the urban area. In 1930s, the French visited some cultural sites in Shigang and named them "PlainsofJars" for the first time. "Char" is a transliteration of the French word "jarre", which means "jar, jar, urn". Therefore, according to the original meaning of the old, it should mean "Shi Gang Plain".

② The ancient city of Luang Prabang:

Luang Prabang is the capital of Luang Prabang province, and it is also an important town in Shangliao. There are 679 ancient buildings with preservation value in Luang Prabang. The ancient city of Luang Prabang is an outstanding example of the integration of traditional buildings built by European colonists with the urban structure of Laos from the19th century to the 20th century. The unique villages and towns are perfectly preserved, which shows the key stage of the integration of two completely different cultural traditions. 1995, UNESCO listed Luang Prabang as a world cultural heritage.

(3) Wapu Temple and related ancient houses in Zhancheng cultural landscape:

Chambas is a province in the southwest of Laos, located on the west bank of Mekong River about 500 kilometers southeast of Vientiane, the capital. Between the Gaopu Mountains and the Mekong River, there are many temples, water conservancy facilities, houses, quarries, ruins and historical sites and an ancient road leading to Angkor.

Since 10 century, many kings have been expanding their influence around champasak until their sphere of influence covers most of Cambodia and eastern Thailand. The peak of Wapu Temple happened in this period, which was the core area of the dynasty. Its development is closely related to the origin, development and peak of the Khmer dynasty in the 7th ~12nd century.

Wapu Temple, which means "Stone Temple" in Laos, is a famous Buddhist temple in Laos and a model of early Khmer architecture. Champasak Ancient Capital Site is located in the south of Wapu Temple, with well-preserved landscape and numerous ancillary buildings.
