Vientiane Province

Vientiane Province is an administrative region in Laos that spans a large territory with mountains, rivers, and river valleys. The landscape supports agriculture and provides natural attractions for visitors to explore.

The province received its current administrative structure in 1989 when it separated from Vientiane and became an independent territorial division. This separation enabled better management of the expanding region.

Temples and markets scattered through the districts serve as gathering places where local people conduct daily rituals and trade handmade goods. These spaces show how different ethnic communities shape their daily lives and maintain their customs.

Route 13 is the main highway connecting the different districts and facilitating transport between key settlements like Vang Vieng and Phonhong. This road is the primary connection for travelers moving through the region.

Nam Ngum Lake in Keo-Oudom District is the largest lake in all of Laos and provides a crucial freshwater source. The lake supplies local communities with fish and other resources essential to daily life.
