Laotian city transformed by investment

13 Feb , 2024  

The old Laotian royal city of Luang Prabang, which is a Unesco World Heritage site, has long been a quiet tourist destination. But with recent Chinese investments, including a new high-speed railway, it has become easier for tourists to admire the city’s golden temples. While more tourist money is welcome, many residents are unhappy with how the tourism surge has transformed their once peaceful way of life.
