I went to the Buddha Park in Xieng Khouang and the Friendship Bridge in Dongphosy.
Buddah Park is situated about 25 minutes drive outside of the Vientiane city. Although not an old temple, it is nevertheless fascinating for its huge structures that combine Buddhist and Hindu Philosophies. Here are some pictures:
Friendship bridge was built by the help from Australia. The Friendship bridge was named so to illustrate the friendship among three different nations -- Laos, Thailand and Australia. However the Friendship bridge is not so friendly because right in the middle of it says "No crossing" because the other side is Thailand.

"No Crossing" sign on the bridge (we couldn't go beyond that because the other side was Thailand)
