Phonsavan
Phonsavan is the new capital of Xieng Khouang Province, Laos.
It was built in the mid 1970s, because the old capital of Xieng Khouang was utterly destroyed during the fighting between the Pathet Lao and American backed anti-communist troops. Its most famous attraction is the nearby Plain of Jars. The town itself is dusty and modern compared to most other Laotian towns. The Red Cross centre in the middle of the town provides information on the impact of the fighting on the town.There are many hill tribes surrounding the town ,also there is a small Laotian Chinese population.
