VANG VIENG |
This small town along the scenic bend of Nam Song.
The town itself is not without charm, but the main attraction is the karst
topography lining the west bank of the river. Honeycombed with unexplored
tunnels and caverns, the limestone cliffs here are a spelunker' s heaven. |
NAM NGUM LAKE |
The beautiful scenery around the Nam Ngum
River and its green valley is enhanced by the presence of a vast, spectacular
lake. This is a man-made reservoir for a hydroelectric power dam that
generates most of the electricity sold to Thailand. |
BAN KEUN ZOO |
A pleasant local zoo with animals from
the region. |
