Vertical gardens, or ‘green walls’, are cropping up all over cities these days, transforming drab urban facades into vibrant jungles of color.

In a concrete jungle such as Tokyo, any greenery is always welcome. The ‘green leaf building’ (as I named it) just outside of Shinagawa Seaside station was once of those “Nice!” moments on a Sunday stroll.
Just as China as awesome mops, Japan has quite a collection of leaf covered buildings to please any urban greenscape connoisseur.
Sala Prabang Mekong Riverside Hotel sits quietly along the Souvanbaniang Road in Luang Prabang, Laos.
The first thing that caught my eye was the distinct, zig zagged shaped green wall along the right-hand side of the building.
Much like man other buildings along this street, leafy foliage is draped along the balcony.
A small, fenced in garden in the back of the hotel makes for a relaxing spot to read a book or update your latest travel journal entry.
Taking a walk down Souvanbaniang Road in Luang Prabang, Laos will reveal a number of French Colonial meets SE Asia style architecture covered in greenery. You can’t help but to have a calming feeling from the foliage covering the face of the buildings.
