Our last stop would be Wat Khili where there was an exhibition of photographs taken by monks over the years.
Wat Khili was built in 1773 it is the same style as those found near the Plain of Jars, which
makes Wat Khili unique amongst Luang Prabang temples.
Books written on bamboo tied together. The written language is different from the current written language, so
there is an effort to photograph and translate the books.
One of the cabinets in the traditional library building housing a historic photo exhibition of Buddhist heritage,
known as The Buddhist Archive of Photography. A unique collection of 35,000 historical photographs that were
collected by several monk collectors and photographers over 120 years.
