This market was built up along the railroad tracks because there was no space available elsewhere. When the train comes, the vendors have to move everything out of the way and then back again.

Wooden bridge

There is a wooden bridge made of bamboo that allows the locals in Luang Prabang to cross the river. But, it is a private venture and costs 63 cents round trip. The view is just great.
TravelerSo beautiful!
TravelerI love the plam trees lining the beach!
