Adventure park draws the crowds in Luang Prabang
Hoi Khua Waterfall in Luang Prabang province.
Luang Prabang is one of the most popular visitor destinations in Laos and has many attractions, both of cultural interest and scenic beauty. One attraction, the Flower Garden and Hoi Khua Waterfall, has been a great success since it opened to the public in March. Mr. Akhom Phommahanh, who owns the site, told Vientiane Times yesterday that the new development is located in Pakleuang village, Chomphet district, and is about 15km south of the provincial capital.
We invested over US$8 million or about 64 billion kip to develop this area. It covers over 20 hectares and we have a 30 year concession on the land granted by the province, he added. The highlight of the site is the adventure activities we have put together such as jungle walking, camping, net crossing, a rope course, and the zipline. Also of special interest is our beautiful flower garden and of course the waterfall. We also have a restaurant and in the new year we will build a resort. Since we opened we have had over 10,000 visitors, Mr. Akhom said. An entry ticket costs 20,000 kip for Lao nationals and foreigners.
