부동산 — Hua Long
The Hua Long is a reliable, no-frills three-star hotel a short walk from the Mekong riverfront. Its lobby feels like a quiet traveller’s waystation – tiled floors, a handful of armchairs, and a desk clerk who handles keys with quiet efficiency. The rooms are clean and cool (air-con works hard here), and the real draw is the rooftop terrace with views across the Mekong to Thailand. It suits independent travellers who value location and price over boutique charm.
Vientiane 연대기
Vientiane began as a small trading post on the Mekong, formally founded as the capital of the Lan Xang kingdom in the mid-16th century. After falls to the Burmese and later the Siamese, it became part of French Indochina in the 1890s, which left a legacy of faded colonial villas and wide boulevards. Laos’ independence in 1953 and the subsequent communist takeover in 1975 reshaped the city, but today Vientiane is a laid-back capital where Buddhist temples, Mekong strolls, and French-influenced bakeries sit side by side. The Patuxai war monument and That Luang stupa remain the defining civic landmarks.
