Laos
The View from a One-Time Royal Capital

The Buddha was said to have prophesied that the central Laotian city of Luang Prabang would become a rich and powerful capital. It came true: for more than 600 years, this mountainous place would be home to a royal court. Hong Kong-based photographer Allison Heiliczer captures some daily moments there.
