LAOS ~ Le Calao - Luang Prabang - UNESCO ~

... Pretty evening view of a unique building that now hosts Le Calao restaurant located on the Mekong Riverside... one of the first hotels in Luang Prabang opened in 1996... it was originally built in 1904 by a Chinese trader from Macau, for use as a private house... the building was originally constructed with a strong Portugese influence in its architecture during the French Colonial Period... by the 1990s, the abandoned building had fallen into a derelict condition and was almost destroyed... but now it's beautifully renovated... this former house has been declared as one of the protected World Heritage buildings in Luang Prabang.... Le Calao offers a top quality Laotian, ethnic and international dishes, but with a signature focus on Laotian cuisine... Thank you Jobbo!【ツ】No comments about the food in this restaurant??? that surprises me!😉😃
Luang Prabang is located in north central Laos, on the Mekong River. Until the communist takeover in 1975, it was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos.

Luang Prabang originated as a defended royal administrative complex, with adjacent temples and monasteries. The Town is noticed for its special form of urban development, partly traditional Lao and partly colonial.

In 1995 Luang Prabang was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
