LAO - LE RYTHME DES EAUXAu Nord du Laos, enclavée dans les montagnes, la paisible cité de Luang Prabang prospère depuis des siècles au sein de la péninsule formée par la confluence du fleuve Mékong et de la rivière Nam Khan. Avant dêtre devancée par Vientiane, elle fut la capitale du puissant Royaume de Lane Xang (Royaume du Million dEléphants). Son architecture coloniale et ses majestueux temples lui valent dêtre inscrite au patrimoine mondiale de lUNESCO depuis 1995.La légende raconte que Bouddha y serait venu au cours de lun de ses voyages et quil a souri. Aujourdhui, la ville est un haut lieu bouddhique de lAsie du Sud-Est. Les jeunes y viennent des campagnes alentours pour faire une retraite monastique et ainsi recevoir une éducation gratuite.A loccasion de Pi Mai, la Fête de l'Eau, Luang Prabang se réveille. Correspondant au Nouvel An lao et bouddhique, on fête le retour de la saison des pluies et la renaissance de la nature. Durant les plusieurs jours de festivités,

The date of construction of the Svayambhunath stupa, its origins steeped in myth, is unknown. According to the inscriptions on an ancient and damaged stone tablet at Svayambhunath, King Vrishadeva (ca. 400 CE) was the first to build a place of worship on the site. His grandson, King Manadeva I (ca. 464-505) may have made some additions. The Muslim invasion of 1349 undid all the pious building work, the marauding Muslim warriors dismantling every kafir (infidel) sanctuary that they came across. An inscription at Svayambhunath records the date of the Muslim invasion as 20 November 1349, in all probability a very accurate account. After the raids Svayambhunath was restored, and most of the buildings seen today are from the post-invasion period. Swayambhunath (Devnagari: स्वयम्भूनाथ स्तुप) is an ancient religious complex atop a hill in the Kathmandu Valley, west of Kathmandu city. It is also known as the Monkey Temple as there are holy monkeys living in parts of the temple in the north-wes
