老挝. 琅勃拉邦.香通寺

        接着去香通寺，也是东南亚的名寺。

        香通寺是琅勃拉邦最宏伟的一座寺院。由塞塔提拉国王于1560年建造，直到1975年都是王室私有资产。与王宫一样，香通寺也选址在湄公河附近。其中的大殿代表了经典的琅勃拉邦寺庙建筑风格，其后墙上镶嵌着壮观的生命之树图案。在殿内，装饰华美的木柱支撑着覆有法轮的房顶。香通寺是琅勃拉邦最著名最漂亮的寺庙，浓缩了琅勃拉邦古老的寺庙建筑风格。  

        香通寺1887年遭到破坏，1928年在西萨旺冯王的干预下，得到了修复。寺院内8根粗大的支柱上用黄金刻着图案，把人们的目光引向后面金光闪闪的佛像和光轮覆盖的屋顶。寺院外面的后墙上镶嵌着栩栩如生的树的图案，背景是紧邻这里的是一个小型建筑，是一个红色教堂，里面置有一个很独特的佛像。佛身上体现着老挝的特点，如卷至脚踝的长袍，手支撑着头，姿势优美。这尊佛是塞拉提拉亡于1569年下令铸造的。香通寺是老挝新年最重要的庆祝地点之一。

　　主庙正面的墙和梁柱，黑底金饰，精致美观。寺院内有一座葬仪礼堂，礼堂内有高12米、用金色龙头装饰的灵车和王室的骨灰金瓶。寺院内还有精美的小庙和多座佛塔。

        一个接一个的寺庙，相同的建筑就多了，大殿，灵塔。所以在琅勃拉邦看庙就要看看更有个性的艺术。香通寺里好像更好看的是那内外墙上的小人，佛教的故事跃于墙上。这都是别的地方寺庙没有的。还有这座寺庙的窗棂，佛教的诸神都在那里。我们去的时候，大殿正修，屋顶揭了盖，大佛见了天。

        这个庙和维崇寺一样，也要20000基普的门票。
