Vientiane Province

Vientiane Province spans across 15,927 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including mountains, rivers, and valleys supporting agricultural activities and natural attractions.

The province gained its current administrative status in 1989 when authorities separated it from Vientiane prefecture to establish an independent territorial division.

The districts within Vientiane Province maintain traditional practices through temples, markets, and festivals that reflect the heritage of multiple ethnic communities.

Route 13 serves as the primary road connecting the province's districts, including Vang Vieng and Phonhong, facilitating transport between major settlements.
