Chapter 786 Chapter 786·The Jaw-Drawing Interior of the Arc de Triomphe
While taking a walk to eat, the couple walked slowly across the square to the Arc de Triomphe. They stopped a few tens of meters away from the Arc de Triomphe and admired it from afar.

It is surrounded by arched doors and carvings. From a distance, it looks like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, but on the base of its arches, there are typical Lao temple carvings and decorations. The exquisite carvings full of Buddhist colors show the traditional Laos. national culture and art.

"The triumphal arch in Laos is about 45 meters high and 24 meters wide. It is located in the center of Vientiane, near the Prime Minister's Office, and far away from the President's Palace. The construction of the Arc de Triomphe began in 1960 and was basically completed in 1969. Nine years can be said to be a large monument.

It was originally to commemorate the victims of the war. When it was liberated in 1975, the mass parade in Vientiane to celebrate the victory passed here. In commemoration of this historic event, it was called the Arc de Triomphe.

By the way, after you come here, you can go up to the top of the Arc de Triomphe to enjoy the cityscape of Vientiane, but you need to buy a ticket here. Of course, those who like architecture, don’t forget to stand inside the Arc de Triomphe to enjoy the eaves above your head. Decorated, its architecture condenses the essence of typical Lao architecture. "

After talking about it briefly, without intending to explain it too carefully, Zhang Yang took He Xiaoman and walked towards the high imitation Arc de Triomphe.

Only after walking in, almost everyone who comes to the Arc de Triomphe will find an indisputable fact, that is, if you have really been to the Arc de Triomphe in France, you must be able to see how simple the Arc de Triomphe here is.

Especially after Zhang Yang and his wife walked in, the two of them were shocked.

I originally thought it was a tourist building, but after entering it, it is simply a small market!

But then Zhang Yang thought about it carefully, in a place like Southeast Asia, where everything can be hung up, it seems that this situation is not unusual at all, and it is understandable that there are Ms selling sympathy everywhere in tourist buildings.

But I have to say that the inside of this Arc de Triomphe is also extremely simple, except for the unexpected market, there are two stairs that allow tourists to go up and down.

"Pfft, don't tell me this is the Arc de Triomphe?"

"Haha, this tnd is simply a small market!"

"Is it so weird? I thought it was the same as our domestic tourist buildings. After entering, the high-end atmosphere will be upgraded, but I didn't expect it to be so low."

"But I feel pretty good this way...Pfft, allow me to laugh for a while, this is the right thing to do with travel and shopping!"

"Looking at the shocked look of Brother Yang's wife, she must have been frightened!"

"I came to this place once a few years ago. When I came in, I was almost not frightened. I thought I went to the wrong place and crossed."

He Xiaoman was so shocked at this time that he didn't know what to say. He looked at the stalls selling T-shirts inside a little bit dumbfounded. The white walls were covered with all kinds of T-shirts. It is also filled with all kinds of jewelry, and the boss warmly greets the tourists who are also shocked.

Couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhang Yang, He Xiaoman asked a little uncertainly.

"Husband, this is the Laotian Arc de Triomphe full of historical significance? Did we go to the wrong door?"

Zhang Yang was very surprised. He read a few blogs on the Internet before, and thought that the blogger was talking nonsense. Even though there were photos and no evidence at the time, he still didn’t believe it. After seeing it now, he was completely convinced. Beaten by the people here.

But I have to say that even if the inside has become a business place, the Arc de Triomphe is well protected both inside and outside. The white walls and clear lines are not like a long-term business place at all. I saw a stall owner preventing two tourists from wanting to 'touch' the grain on the pillar in the corner next to it. After all, those two guys didn't touch it with their hands, but with keys.

"Well, this is called reasonable planning and utilization, and I think it's pretty good."

Zhang Yang had to explain it like this, and then felt that what he said just now seemed a bit untenable, so he simply moved out the explanation he was going to say after he came in and "seeing the elegant art inside".

"Laos, a landlocked country located in Southeast Asia, many people once believed that the country's international presence has always been low, and that Laos does not rank high in the world in terms of land area or economic development level.

But the Arc de Triomphe in Laos still has a certain reputation in the world.

Don't you know what happened behind the Arc de Triomphe in this quiet country of Laos? "

What else can I do?
Help me wash it up, at least in Zhang Yang’s understanding, it’s okay to treat the inside as a business place, but the Arc de Triomphe in Laos is really well-known in the world, and the meaning behind it is also The pride of the Lao people.

In He Xiaoman's expression of a good-natured baby ready to learn, and in the barrage where the people in the live broadcast room change their style of painting when they hear a story to listen to, Zhang Yang is a little embarrassed to say what he is going to say next He said it, but he was still a little confused, or completely confused.

"Well, the Arc de Triomphe in Vientiane can be said to be one of the most important geographical landmarks of Laos. This large cement stone gate stands near the presidential palace. It can be said that this large cement stone gate has witnessed a period of history in Laos.

Let’s talk about history. I don’t know if anyone knows that Laos was once a colony of France.

In 1957, Laos obtained national sovereignty from the French and became an independent country. However, Laos' economic strength was very weak at that time, it was really weak, and even many of the country's materials were funded by the United States.

At that time, the United States originally funded a batch of cement for the construction of the airport in Laos. In order to celebrate the country's independence, the royal family at that time embezzled this batch of cement to build the Laos version of the Arc de Triomphe in imitation of the French Arc de Triomphe.

Cough cough! "

Tnd is a bit unclear. Sure enough, Zhang Yang just said this, and a shocking barrage appeared in the live broadcast room. No one thought that this was actually built with the help of other people's sponsorship!

Zhang Yang, on the other hand, continued after pretending to cough.

"Well~~
Because the Arc de Triomphe was embezzled from the cement used to build the airport, it was also dubbed the "vertical runway". Subsequently, the United States also interrupted its material assistance to Laos.

In 1975, after the founding of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Arc de Triomphe was renovated, and the Arc de Triomphe became a symbol of Laos entering a new era.

In the early 20s, the appearance of the Arc de Triomphe in Laos was no different from what it is today, but the infrastructure around here was not perfect at that time, and the road condition was very poor.

It was also at the beginning of the 21st century that our national government had assisted Laos to carry out a careful transformation of the Arc de Triomphe.

Now, the Arc de Triomphe has become a unique landscape, and a large number of tourists visit it every year. Many people may not know what happened behind the Arc de Triomphe, but it is indelible as one of the witnesses of the history of Laos. "

Nani?

Has our country also donated?
