 ==== Pak Ou Caves ====
-Pak Ou Caves, in the cliff walls, lie at the junction of the Ou and Mekong Rivers. They can only be reached by boat. Traditionally, Laotian monarchs visited the caves once a year on Pimai - the Laotian New Year - and left a Buddha statue there. Devotees and pilgrims could also leave sacrificed images there. This practice continues to this day. The caves were also used by monks as dwellings. Today both caves contain about 4,000 Buddha statues. The oldest of them are over 300 years old.
