The Arc de Triomphe is located in the center of Vientiane and stands near the Prime Minister's Office, with a height of 45 meters and a width of 24 meters. Its square was built by the government of China, and now it has become a music fountain park.
The Arc de Triomphe is surrounded by arched doors and carvings, which looks like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris from a distance. However, on its arch base, it is a typical sculpture and decoration of Laos temples, full of exquisite carvings with Buddhist colors, showing the traditional national culture and art of Laos.
Climbing to the top of the mountain gives you a panoramic view of everything.
Taluan, literally translated as "Great Pagoda" or "Imperial Pagoda", is located in Taluan Square, about 3 kilometers northeast of Vientiane. It is the crystallization of Buddhist culture and art and is regarded as the national treasure of Laos.
Taruan is the worship center of Buddhists and people in Laos, which was expanded on the basis of an ancient pagoda in 1560. After many times of destruction and repair, it has been preserved to this day.
Today's pagoda is a Buddhist building complex with masonry structure, with a group of tower buildings, which enjoys a high reputation in architectural art and covers an area of more than 8,400 square meters. The whole building is square, with gray brick structure and unique architectural style. The bottom of the main tower consists of three huge square seats, with a worship pavilion in the middle of all sides; It is divided into three layers, which means that the Buddha says three realms.
It is said that the hair and bones of the Buddha were buried under the pagoda in the 3rd century BC. Taruan has become an indispensable part of the life of the Lao people.
There is also an ancient temple near Taluan Temple, which is worth visiting.
There are merit tablets embedded in the walls of the courtyard, and there are many kinds of Buddha statues in the trees, rooms and halls.
There is also a slender jade Buddha with graceful posture, lying in the open air and sighing like a tourist. ...
