With two World Heritage sites, Luang Prabang and Wat Phou, there is much to see in Laos. The amazing temples and stunning scenery make Luang Prabang and Wat Phou a must for visitors to Laos. The government is also seeking World Heritage site status for the Plain of Jars.

One of the most historically rich cultural sites in Laos, the Plain of Jars contains thousands of stone jars spread out across the Xieng Khouang plain. These jars range in size from three to ten feet in height and weigh up to fourteen tons!
