Mount Phousi and Wat That Chom Sii

Mount Phousi and Wat That Chom Sii - situated 150m and 300 steps up above the peninsula with spectacular views of the city and surrounding countryside. Even the climb might be tiring, the view is certainly worth the sweat. Looking out into the country side you can see great mountains, the Mekong river and the great location of the former kings residence. You can also see the old Royal Palace, now the Museum, the old houses and surrounding villages. The temple has a gold spired stupa that can be seen from most parts of the city.

It is surely the most favorite sunset spot but also worth seeing in the early morning - with less people. Mount Phousi is the hill which lies in the centre of the river-peninsula town of Luang Prabang. It is a temple complex, and a great (and busy) place to visit at sunset for commanding views over the surrounding areas and the Mekong. Try not to have your camera battery fail just as the sun falls.
Mount Phousi, also written Mount Phu Si, is a hill right at the centre of the old town of Luang Prabang. It is bordered on one side by the Mekong River and on the other side by the Khan River.
