Many legends are associated with the creation of the city, including one that recounts that Buddha would have smiled when he rested there during his travels, prophesying that it would one day be the site of a rich and powerful city. Known as MuangSua, then Xieng Thong, from the 14th to the 16th century the town became the capital of the powerful kingdom of Lane Xang (Kingdom of a Million Elephants), whose wealth and influence were related to its strategic location on the Silk RouteThe ancient town of LuangPrabang situated in northern Laos, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.

After breakfast, bid goodbye to LuangPrabang and journey through the wonderful natural scenery to Xiengkhouang with opportunities for photos taking and stop by the local hill tribe villages along the way.
XiengKhuong - The Plain Of Jars is probably South East Asia’s most enigmatic tourist attraction. Situated in the remote north east of Laos, the mountainous communist country which has only been open to tourists for just over a decade, are hundreds of huge stone jars scattered across several square miles. While most ancient Asian sites, such as the Angkor temples in Cambodia, have revealed many of their secrets, historians are still completely baffled as to where the jars came from, how old they are and what they signify. 
They are, in short, jars of a deeply spooky nature. Upon arrival, check in to hotel and have a good night rest.
Overnight stay at XiengKhouang.
Note: Please be prepared for winding and long distance scenic drive

Next we visit Site 1 of the Plain of Jars, an impressive archaeological site where hundreds of large stone jars are scattered all over.

A large area extending around the town of Phonsavan, where huge jars of unknown origin are scattered around the landscape. The stone jars appear in clusters, ranging from a single or a few to several hundred jars. The jars vary in height and diameter between 1 and 3 meters and are all hewn out of rock. These jars are undecorated with the exception of a single jar that has a human bas-relief carved on the exterior. Research of the Plain of Jars suggests that the stone jars are associated with prehistoric burial practices.

The area’s main attraction is the dramatic surrounding karst hill landscape.  The limestone cliffs and valleys surrounding the resort complex of VangVieng are home to numerous caves and caverns.
