SUBSCRIBE: – Here’s one of the most spectacular fireworks display I have ever seen (and I have seen many, believe me) celebrating the new year (2015) in the royal city of Luang Prabang in beautiful Laos. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Louangphabang, or Luang Phabang, literally meaning: “Royal Buddha Image” is a city in north central Laos, consisting of 58 adjacent villages, of which 33 comprise the UNESCO Town Of Luang Prabang World Heritage Site.
Laos is a Southeast Asian country traversed by the Mekong River and known for mountainous terrain, French colonial architecture, hill tribe settlements and Buddhist monasteries. Vientiane, the capital, is the site of the That Luang monument, where a reliquary reportedly houses the Buddha’s breastbone, plus the Patuxai war memorial and Talat Sao (Morning Market), a complex jammed with food, clothes and craft stalls.
