【Laos】Tourist Highlight in Vientiane: "Patuxai (Victory Gate)"

【Facility Name】 Laos/Patuxai (Victory Gate) 【Access】 A 10-minute walk from Vientiane's Talat Sao Bus Terminal. 15 minutes by taxi from the airport, costing 60,000 kip. 【Tips】 Vientiane is often referred to as a "capital with nothing," but if you're sightseeing, renting a bicycle is highly recommended. For Patuxai, it's best to climb the observation deck right after the gates open at 8 AM before the day gets too hot. This way, you'll encounter fewer crowds and can take great photos 📷. Inside, there are six levels of stairs totaling about 150 steps, so be prepared to sweat. Bring drinks and stay hydrated. Additionally, the nighttime illumination is a must-see! If you're looking for a relaxed trip, Laos is the perfect destination.
