Located around 15minute drive from the town, this beautiful temple located on top of small hill. It has beautiful architecture and great view from the top. Very serene and peaceful. Took tuk-tuk to go there, the driver willing to wait and drop me back to my Hotel (60K Kip for round trip), feel worth the fee as the temple is really beautiful.

Wat Pa Phon Phai was the end point of our city biking. It's only 3km from the central market, but maybe less tourists don't know about. Our tour guide suggested it offers a great city view, and it was, but not great. The view from Phou Si hill is better. Here we couldn't see mighty Mekong. The biking was a little chaleenge with some uphills and some crossed the traffic. It doesn't require admission fee.

This is the first 'modern' Wat I've seen (built in 1987 I believe) and it is quite startling. Definitely worth a visit though but I had hoped to hear drumming at 4 p.m. and there was none - maybe because it was a Saturday. Robert T of Llanidloes said all that is necessary.

This new temple has five levels, do not fail to climb right to the top. The 1st floor has paintings all round the walls - scenes from the life of the Buddha above and blood curdling visions of Taoist hells below. The second floor has wooden shutters at its windows and wooden doors to its balconies, from which spectacular views reveal themselves. Above this level, the windows provide no views but illuminate more and more extraordinary decorations. The third floor is a chapter house, and the fourth (a dome) and the fifth (a cupola) are glorious. If you are at the Wat at about 4:00 in the afternoon you will see and hear a great work on drum and cymbal.

This relatively new temple/chedi is situated on a hilltop not far from the airport (road).
It is also called chedi of peacefulness.
As the road up is pretty steep, you'll have to push the bike the last 200 metres.
Inside the chedi you can climb up a few floors/staircases, from the first floor with a beautiful view on the city.

This temple is usually called Phra That Khong Santi Chedi, or just Santi Chedi (sometimes spelled Cheidi or Cheidy). We visited with a local guide by car to watch the sunset on the way back from a visit to Tad Sae Waterfall. The temple itself was closed but you are still able to walk in the grounds for free to look at the sunset and view over Luang Prabang, including over Mount Phu Si (Phousi).

it is a separate temple, not in the city centre. We got there by bicycles, but be aware that the way to the temple is ascending, so it cold be difficult to reach it when hot. It is closed for "lunch" from 10 to 13 every day.
Inside there are beautiful paintings and a great view from the balcony on the second floor. But if you go upstares, you will get to smaller rooms with fantastic acoustics - your voice is reflected many times and becomes very loud. Try singing there :)

Looks great from the plane as you come into land and looks great from Mt Phu si at sunset. Has nice airy feel to it and gold temple looks great in sunset - inside in brightly decorated and upstairs offers pleasant views back to Phu si and Luang prabang - worth a gander
