479 LA - Town of Luang Prabang (1995)

Brief Description

"Luang Prabang is an outstanding example of the fusion of traditional architecture and Lao urban structures with those built by the European colonial authorities in the 19th and 20th centuries. Its unique, remarkably well-preserved townscape illustrates a key stage in the blending of these two distinct cultural traditions."

琅勃拉邦的古城

"琅勃拉邦的古城是19世纪至20世纪欧洲殖民者建造的传统建筑与老挝城市结构相融合的突出典范。它独特的镇区保存十分完美,表现了两种截然不同的文化传统相互融合的关键阶段。"
