The first meal in Laos, I found a Chinese restaurant in Vientiane. There are many Chinese restaurants in Vientiane. Most of them are Sichuan and Hunan styles. I have also found Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines later, but they are rare. This time I asked a teacher from China's "Confucius Institute" in Vientiane to take us to play together. The teacher is very young and energetic. For several years in Laos, he rented a house in Vientiane, so most of the restaurants he brought were local Chinese.

The Reclining Buddha Temple is one of many temples in Vientiane, and the scale is not very large, but because it is only one way away from the famous Tayu Temple, there is a huge Reclining Buddha, so the popularity is more vigorous. Inside is a very beautiful tall sculpture, with a prince-like figure in the bow archery. There are several angles, you can take pictures of the Big Golden Pagoda of the Tayu Temple. The surrounding walls are also more distinctive, all of which are the golden towers of high-respected and noble families, which are spectacular.

The correct name of the Nange River should be called "Nange Lake". Nange Lake is an artificial lake formed to build a dam and reservoir for water storage, and is also the largest lake in Laos. The blue sky and white clouds in the dry season, the mountains and clear waters are beautiful, very beautiful. Nange Lake is also known as the "Qiandao Lake" by Chinese tourists, and many small mountain bags have been flooded into small islands, some islands have golden Buddha statues, but not on the side of the pier, you need to take a boat to go. The pier is now also newly built, with yellow roofs, tall houses, spacious terraces, white yachts, green lawns and flowers all around it, all so comfortable and peaceful.
