About 6km south of town, this much-venerated temple is considered one of the most important ³Ùâ³ó³Ù (stupa) in Laos. It was first renovated by King Setthathirat in the 16th century, when it assumed its current general form, restored in the 1950s and again later in the 1970s. A ·É¾±³óÇŽ³ó²Ô (temple hall) on the temple grounds contains a large seated Buddha, constructed by the order of King Anouvong (Chao Anou).
That said, it's probably only really worth visiting during the major temple festival each February.
