Historical Tourism in Laos Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone;

Since its establishment, the SEZ has taken "alternative economy" as the main line of development, promoted the international processing trade, characteristic ecological agriculture, platinum tourism and other advantageous industries in the Great Golden Triangle, and made full use of the tropical climate, geography, local customs, historical and cultural resources here.

In the special zone, the increasingly perfect urban system has promoted the development of tourism, and many cultural projects and scenic spots that have been built or under construction have attracted tourists from all directions and countries, including the widow village left by poppies, the kapok island, the kapok-style town, the ruins of the Lancang Dynasty and the ancient Buddha style.

In order to further enrich the tourism content, tourism companies have developed a number of tourist routes connecting China, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar for tourists to choose from. Kapok Island is an alluvial sandbar along the Mekong River. It is famous for nearly 2,000 tall kapok trees and is an important tourist attraction in the Special Zone.

The number of tourists exceeds 400,000 every year, mainly from Thailand, which crosses the Mekong River. Visitors can buy tickets without a visa. Su-Wan-Na-Kong is a relic of an ancient city during the Lancang River period. Today, there are only Buddha statues and pagodas, which are closely related to Thailand's ancient Qingsheng and Chiang Mai.

It has been designated as a key cultural project by the Ministry of Culture of Laos, and it is planned to be invested and developed by Jinmu Mian Group. Due to the particularity of geographical location, the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone has attracted many international events to be held here, which has become the inspiration and location for many film and television dramas.

Today's Golden Triangle has gradually disappeared the mysterious veil that once made people stay away from it, and the gorgeous poppies and gunshots have also disappeared. Instead, it is the scenery and customs that are hard to find elsewhere. Waiting for someone, maybe it's an exotic performance, or it's brewing golden triangle tea on a rosewood tea set.
