No words, right?
This photo was taken atop of Mount Phousi, which is a viewpoint in Luang Prabang where people gather to watch the sunrise or sunset over the Mekong River.
I'd definitely advise to go around an hour or so before the sun rises or sets, as there are 355 steps zig-zagging 150 metres up to the top, and even for the fittest person, it gets a little tough! Especially as there are loads of tourists to weedle past or through. But with plenty of resting places along the way and the Wat Tham Phousi Shrine to admire at the halfway mark, it bodes well to take your time, drink plenty of water and don't forget to wear mossie repellent!
There is also a small entry fee of 20,000 kip (roughly £2) and drinks and snacks are sold at the peak.
The Golden Wat Chomsi Temple is at the summit of Mount Phousi, where you can enjoy a full 360 degree panoramic view of Luang Prabang.
My photos and videos don't do the view justice, it's truly an impressive and beautiful sight to be seen in person. You can actually see the sun going down quite fast and creating these gorgeous colours in the sky reflecting in the river.
