Need to stretch those legs and relax while journeying to Luang Prabang from Vientiane (or the other way around)? That’s where Vang Vieng comes in. But it is more than just a transit point or a resting spot. Through time, the town has become a destination of its own. How? Let’s find out.
What gives Vang Vieng its unique character is its limestone cliffs and formations that seem to line up along the Nam Song River. What this does is give you a nice scenic and soothing backdrop for you to relax in. Or for the more adventurous, hiking and trekking venues. We did mention a river, didn’t we? Many take advantage of the river by, tubing. Yes, those tubes that float on water. People just lay on it and let the time fly by. Others may choose to kayak. It’s all up to you.
And when dusk arrives, many just head over to the numerous riverside restaurants and chill out. Yes, Vang Vieng, it is more than just a bus stop, a transit point, a rest area, or whatever you want to call it. It is a destination of its own.
