Cultural Tapestry and Sustainable Growth Woven by 50 Ethnicities

A landlocked country in southeast Asia, Laos is roughly the size of the Japanese island of Honshu.
Most of the country is mountainous. 60% of the working population are engaged in agriculture, and the
country has been seeing economic development recently.
There are 50 ethnic groups and languages in Laos, which is defined by its richly diverse culture.
The pavilion includes a model dam, videos, and exhibits on traditional handicrafts and attire so visitors
can learn about the country’s culture and sustainable growth.
There is even an actual traditional Laotian ceremony held using a ceremonial object called a Pa Khuan.
