Luang Prabang is located on a raised narrow peninsula jutting out between two rivers. It's basically just one long street with some side streets fanning out toward the rivers. Wat Xien Thong, pictured here, is the oldest remaining temple in town (built 1560), and located at the very tip of the peninsula. There are over 30 temples crowding this little strip of land, which is why the early morning, when monks file out of each of these temples on their daily rounds, is a photographer's dream.
