Vat Xieng Thong. Afternoon light. Luang Prabang.

Vat Xieng Thong is the most luxurious temple of Luang Prabang. Its construction was ordered in 1560 by king of Laos. Its roofs which come down up to the ground constitute the most perfect example of the religious architecture of Luang Prabang. The mosaic on red bottom represents " the tree of life ".

C’est le temple le plus somptueux de Luang Prabang. Sa construction fut ordonnée en 1560 par le roi du Laos. Ses toits qui descendent jusqu’au sol constituent l’exemple le plus parfait de l’architecture religieuse de Luang Prabang. La mosaïque sur fond rouge représente «l’arbre de vie».
