Kicking off in the former royal capital of Luang Prabang, the journey encompasses everything from golden temples to hotels built in former Chinese consulates. There\u2019s little doubt that one of the area\u2019s chief draws are its spectacular landscapes, which are among the most affecting in the whole of Asia. Expect a charming tapestry of mist-shrouded mountains that tumble down to spectacular river valleys.
