Muang Sing

Another highlight of Muang Sing is some of Laos’ most colorful hill tribe groups including Tai Lue, Tai Neua and Akha, Tai Dam, Hmong, Mien, and Lolo.
Muang Sing is an ideal starting point to explore the surrounding nature and local cultural diversity. Muang Sing market, one of the most colorful and liveliest in the region, attracts a great variety of tribal minorities. It is a great place to look for some local handicrafts that contain the unique culture of ethnic groups.
Muang Sing’s bumpy roads are excellent for mountain biking. Not too far from the town and easily accessible by foot or bicycle are Tai Dam and Hmong villages that produce various textiles.
There are also a lot of special architectures available in Muang Sing shown in form of Wat or temples of which That Xieng Tueng, Vat Xieng Chai are notable samples.

The Xieng Khaeng Mountains & Upper Mekong is a largely unexplored, stunning region with breathtaking mountains, waterfalls, and caves.
In general, it’s magical territory to explore, particularly for culture junkies.
Since Muang Sing is still under development, the town is not connected widely to other locations. There are some small buses start from Luang Namtha that across the town. The buses depart several times a day.
