🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Champasak Cultural Landscape, including the Wat Phu complex, is a well-preserved planned landscape that is more than 1,000 years old. Its shape reflects the Hindu view of the relationship between nature and humans, using an axis from the top of the mountain to the river bank to arrange the geometric patterns of temples, shrines and water conservancy facilities, stretching for about 10 kilometers. Two planned cities on the banks of the Mekong River and Phou Kao Mountain are also part of the site. The whole represents development from the 5th to the 15th century, mainly related to the Khmer Empire.
