Northern Laos (Chapter)
© Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd 141 Northern Laos If a careless god grabbed a giant sheet of green paper and crumpled it into a ball, the con- tours would resemble northern Laos. At every turn, convoluted rivers curl through layers of NORTHERN LAOS mountain ridges. Hidden amid these lush folds, the former royal capital of Luang Prabang is by far Laos’ most magical city and the region’s tourist magnet. By contrast, other northern towns are functional places, rebuilt after wholesale bombing during the 20th-century Indo- china wars. During that terrible period, much of the population hid for years in caves around lovely Vieng Xai and majestic Nong Khiaw. Add to this the Lao predilection for rebuilding rather than restoring the few old temples that did survive, and you’ll understand why there are so few historic buildings to be found. But that’s not why you come to northern Laos. What appeals here is the rural life. Thatch, bamboo and timber houses abound, giving virtually any village a timeless, photogenic quality. The relatively sparse population forms an intrigu- ing melting pot of cultures, best explored while trekking. River trips also offer a wonderful way to discover the bucolic scenery as well as a practical alternative to tortuous bus rides. This chapter starts with Luang Prabang, loops anticlockwise from Huay Xai around to Muang Sing, then finishes with relatively isolated Phongsali Province. HIGHLIGHTS Go wat-hopping and market-shopping in regal Luang Prabang (p 143 ) Zip-line high above forested valleys and into rustic -
