However, the current structure was built by King Setthathirat in 1566 on the site of a 13th century Khmer ruin. He named Vientiane the capital after Luang Prabang in the mid-sixteenth century. An elegantly crafted statue of him stands in front of the main entrance to That Luang.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/attravel.vn\/uploads\/Laos\/general\/top21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"328\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That Luang was greatly damaged by the Burmese, Chinese and Siamese during invasions in the 18th and 19th centuries then was basically left alone until French colonial times. Restoration work was completed in 1900 by the French and for a second time in 1930, again with the help of the French.<\/p>\n<p>Every November when the Boun That Luang Festival is held in Vientiane, a large crowd of followers and tourists come to town from all over Laos and neighbouring countries. The festival is considered the most important Buddhist celebration in Laos with many activities going on for three days and three nights. The main event is always held at That Luang and thousands of people come to pay respect to the stupa and to enjoy the colourful event that includes parades, live music and religious ceremonies.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/attravel.vn\/uploads\/Laos\/general\/top22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"319\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Opening Hours<\/strong>: All year round\u00a0<strong>Location:<\/strong>\u00a0The impressively gilded structure is situated about four kilometres northeast of Vientiane<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That Luang, or the Great Stupa, in Vientiane is a national symbol (its image is on Laos\u2019 official seal) and also the most sacred monument in the country.
