As the capital city of Laos, Vientiane is the ergonomic center of the country. The chilling and relaxed atmosphere differentiates the city from the hectic pace of life in other capitals. Except for the rainy season from May until September, the weather is charming in Vientiane. Due to the long period of French colonization, sights of crumbling buildings with French design are apparent. Still, enormous Buddhist constructions are the most awe-inspiring attractions in Vientiane. The Buddha Park features more than 200 Buddha statues; one giant lying Buddha even stretches 40 meters in length. Wat Sisaket is the home to more than 2,000 ceramic and silver Buddha images. Wat Ho Phra Keo is the former royal temple. A temple treasure hunt in Vientiane is a perfect chance to explore the city and its hidden beauty.
