The mysterious Plain of Jars is situated
about 12 kilometers from Ban Phonsavanh, the capital of the province. There are
over 300 giant jars scattered across the misty plateau. The jars vary in size
from 1 to 3 meters height and up to 2.7 meters in diameter with the heaviest jar
weighting 6 tons .The purpose of the jars, thought to have been carved from
solid rock around 3,000 years ago, remains a mystery. The landscape evokes
thoughts of the grandeur, as the jars are the last remnants of an advanced
Bronze Age civilization now long gone.
