The big concerns for tons of tourists when they travel to Laos is Vientiane. Where to visit? Anything is special and unique? Local culture? All of them make tourists more excited about Vientiane. Visiting here, I bet that it is definitely worth a night or two if you have time for this remarkable capital city. The first place you must visit in Vientiane is Pha That Luang. It is a kind of landmark and is where Lao people come at least once a year to attend Pha That Luang festival that will be held in November for 3 days. Pha That Luang is a large Buddhist stupa which is covered by gold and located in the center of Vientiane Laos. From exactly 1930s until now, because of invasions of the area from other countries, it has undergone many constructions. That’s why it has become the national symbol and has been definitely considered as the most important national monument in Laos. Visiting here, candle procession will make a strong impression on you. In order to build this construction, ten of thousands of people gathered together. There are many antiques what came from different parts in Laos and around 700- 800 years old. Laos travel tours
