View is really great, if you are in Luang Prabang you should come here. A lot of people come before sunset so they can find the right spot, so it could be little crowded. But anyway, its a good place to relax, just sit on the west side to enjoy a view of the town.

beautiful place and stunning view over Luang Prabang, go shortly after sunrise, have the athmosphere for yourself (luckily)
