Luang Prabang, Laos

Luang Prabang was the capital of the Kingdom of Loas until 1975 when Communists took control of the country and moved the capital to Vientiane. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to the numerous temples it contains. I found it to be the most beautiful city we saw in SE Asia.
