Luang Prabang, Royal Capital, Laos

Each dawn Novice monks file around a temple circuit in Laos' old Royal Capital Luang Prabang, on the banks of the Mekong River, to collect alms from the town's residents and vistors. In the late 1800s, French colonial powers and the Lao aristocracy of Vientiane developed a new architectural fusion in Luang Prabang, inspired by local temples and materials, and French and Indochine architecture. The French brought in skilled Vietnamese builders to build two-storey villas throughout the town.
