Activities around Phonsavanh

Phonsavanh Town

Built in the late 1970s Phonsavanh replaces Old Xieng Khouang which was destroyed during the Second Indochina War, as provincial capital. It is located in the center of the Plain of Jars Plateau and has a pleasant climate all year round.

Fresh Food Market

The local market is an excellent place to sample the variety of unique food that Xieng Khouang has to offer. The cool climate and high altitude of the province produces many food items and forest products that are not available or are scarce in other parts of the country. Look for the many varieties of mushrooms or seasonal fruits such as peaches, plums and passion fruit.

Wood carving

Navang Craft Center is a family business where wooden crafts are made from scented Long Leng Wood (Fujian cypress), a rare wood in Xieng Khouang. Visit the shop to watch the local carpenters at work carving sculptures and souvenir items. It is open daily from 7:30 am to 8 pm.
