Chinese businessmen taking advantage of Laos' development boom are fueling demand for great, authentic regional cuisine.
It’s boom time in Laos. The country's unprecedented economic growth has inspired the country’s powerful neighbors to rush in for a slice of the pie.
The hungriest of them all is China.
Chinese businessmen arrive in Vientiane and many settle in the Chinese enclave just outside the city, Sanjiang Cheng (Three Rivers City).
For the best Chinese food in Laos, hit Sanjiang Cheng. On the left, a restaurant serving delicious roast duck. Here, they purchase Chinese goods, communicate in Mandarin and, of course, eat traditional Chinese food.
