Famous Attractions in Laos
Pha That Luang is a great sacred Buddha stupa in Vientiane, Laos. Located on a hill five kilometers north of downtown Vientiane, it was built between 1560 A.D. and 1566 A.D., under the reign of King Setthathirat on the ruins of a 13th century Khmer Temple. The copper statue of King Setthathirat sits outside the west gate. This breathtaking stupa is the most significant Buddhist monument and the national symbol in Laos. It is the most magnificent stupa all over the country, in which the ashes of kings of different dynasties and accomplished monks are preserved. Moreover, it is the center of Buddhists and the Holy Land in Laos. In November every year, the biggest religious That Luang Festival will be held here.

Patuxai is situated in the center of Vientiane and close to the Chancellery. Built from 1960 to 1969, it is a great monument for people who lost their lives in the struggle for independence. It resembles the Arch of Triumph in Paris in the distance, however, it is a typical Laotian architecture decorated with exquisite carvings of Buddhism. It also provides a beautiful panorama of the Vientiane. The Music Fountain Park around Patuxai is the aid construction by the Chinese government.

Mekong goes through Laos from north to south, covering a total of about 1,500 kilometers. A boat trip on this river is an enjoyable experience.

Morning Market is actually a three-storey grocery market open till evening. All kinds of goods are sold here, such as traditional clothes, handicraft, golden or silver ornaments.

Please contact Embassy of Laos in China if Laotians are in troubles there.

Ms.Aleksandra(Poland) said:

Good morning, I'm a polish citizen and I'm on my schollarship in Mongolia (I'm going to stay hre for one year).I'd would like to sightsee in China for about 30 or 40 days, and then I'd like to go to Vietnam, Kambodia and Laos. After that I have to go back to Mongolia through China. So my question is how can I get 2 months visa to China or one month visa to China with the possibility to get transit visa thrugh China in Laos. If the second one is possible how much would it cost, how much time do I have to wait and how many potos or what kind of documents is needed? Thank you very much Aleksandra

Ms.Lilian(China) replied:

Hi,Ms.Aleksandra
Because you will enter China for two times, I think you'd better apply for a Double-Entry Tourist Visa with 6 months Validity which permit a stay of 30 days in China each time. Otherwise, you need apply for two types of China visa (Tourist Visa & Transit Visa), the Tourist Visa is for sightseeing in China, the Transit Visa is for transiting China from Laos.

Mr.Ronald W.Reagan(Thailand) replied:

As Lilian answered, if you want to use one visa to enter China for sightseeing and transit China from laos, you have to apply the Dual Entries Tourist Visa. The fee is 220 Zloty. you need wait for about one week because the visa application processing takes 4 working days. You'd better take more passport photos with you because they are needed when entering Vietnam, Cambodia, laos
The other documents needed:
1/ Your original passport with at least 9 months remaining validity and at least 2 blank visa pages
2/ One completed Visa Application Form of China attached with one passport photo
3/ Your student visa of Mongolia and Mongolian Residence permit
4/ financial proof, a copy of Chinese hotel booking and flight ticket to china and to onward country maybe also needed.
