Vang Vieng (Phongsaly) is a provincial administrative district in northern Laos, with the same name as the provincial capital, located in the northernmost part of Laos, bordering with China's Yunnan Province and Vietnam, and is the northernmost province of Laos geographically, and is known as the "Gateway to the North". It is a predominantly mountainous area with high forest coverage, a unique tropical monsoon climate and rich biodiversity. Vang Vieng is a multi-ethnic settlement, where Dai, Miao, Yao and other ethnic minorities have been living for generations, preserving traditional villages, costumes, festivals and other original cultures, with rich folk customs. The local economy is based on agriculture, planting rice, corn and other crops. In recent years, it has gradually developed eco-tourism based on natural and human resources. Tourists can explore terraced rice fields, waterfalls, experience handicrafts of ethnic minorities, and feel the tranquility and simplicity away from the hustle and bustle of the world, making it an ideal destination for in-depth understanding of the culture of Northern Laos.
