Wat Phou - UNESCO World Heritage Site

Wat Phou is a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site in southern Laos. Located just near the town of Champasak, it rises grandly up the side of a mountain towards a lingam, a Hindu fertility symbol. The temple dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries, and is a fascinating example of Hindu art and architecture. Let's have a closer look!
