Xieng Khuang
To many Laos tours makers, Xieng Kuang might not be so familiar, but must be the Plain of Jars. Xieng Khuang Province is marked by contrasts, cultural and geographical. In the centre, broad ochre hills, laid bare from logging and slash and burn agriculture, coat the semiflat terrain. Orderly farms intersperse the brown hues, and the eucalypts and pine plantations invoke antipodeans impressions. As the province stretches north it finds the base of Hua Phan's mountainous ascent. Flying in from the south, one is struck by the beauty of high green mountains, rugged karst formations and verdant valleys. But as the plane begins to descend, you notice how much of the province is pockmarked with bomb craters in which little or no vegetation grows. Xieng Khuang was one of the most devastated provinces of the war. Virtually every town and village in the province was bombed at some point between 1964-1973.
When you packed your things and spend some time here, you will glad to have this in your Laos holiday memory.
