Photos of Phousi Hill

Located opposite the Royal Palace Museum, Puxi Hill is the higher point of Luang Prabang and a good place to overlook the city. Puxi Mountain is not big, but there are many temples along the road, there is Zongxi Pagoda on the top of the mountain, and there is a palace at the foot of the mountain. The temples on the hillside are relatively new buildings, and the highest point on the hill is the Zongsi Pagoda (That Chomsi). The attraction of Puxi Mountain is to watch the sunrise and sunset of Luang Prabang from the top of the mountain. The small town before sunrise is quiet and peaceful, and the small town at sunset is bustling and prosperous. When the sun goes down, sit at the foot of the pagoda and watch the Mekong River dyed red by the sunset, and the 360-degree city scenery can be seen. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, the dark green coconut trees flooded the roof of the brick-red western-style building, filled with a unique tropical style, as if entering a fairyland outside the world, comfortable and quiet. In a trance, it seems to come to Vietnam in Duras's writings, sweet and a little sad.
