Vang Vieng (Lao: ວັງວຽງ) is a tourist-oriented town in Laos in Vientiane Province about four hours bus ride north of the capital. The town lies on the Nam Song River. The most notable feature of the area is the karst hill landscape surrounding the town.
Vang Vieng was first settled around 1353 as a staging post between Luang Prabang and Vientiane. Originally named Mouang Song after the body of the deceased King Phra Nha Phao of Phai Naam was seen floating down the river, the town was renamed Vang Vieng during French colonial rule in the 1890s.
Significant expansion of the town and its infrastructure occurred during the 1964-73 Vietnam War when the US constructed an air force base and runway that was used by Air America. The airstrip was then called "Lima site 6". In more recent times, the town has grown substantially due to the influx of backpackers attracted by the opportunities for adventure tourism in a limestone karst landscape.
Vang Vieng has become a backpacker-oriented town, with the main street featuring guest houses, bars, restaurants, internet cafes, tour agencies, and Western tourists Attractions of the town include inner tubing and kayaking on the Nam Song River, which, until the third quarter of 2012, was lined with bars selling Beer Lao and Lao-Lao, and equipped with rope swings, zip lines, swimming and diving into blue lagoon, and large decks for socializing.

Vang Vieng - A song I started writing in a crazy little town called Vang Vieng in Laos after a few Beerlaos and the purchase of a cheap $30 guitar off the street. After developing the song further I decided use this song for my Media Project @ Southern Cross University. It is now being entered into the AACA Music Video competition.... Any feedback appreciated! (Lyrics Below) VANG VIENG - LYRICS VERSE 1: In Vang Vieng, it's not at all what you see but what you dream In the skies, in your eyes, in your mind cant you see It's not at all what you know as reality But what you see you believe, it will start to be Jump out of that place called stability Fly through the dark streets, she's lookin at me Through this dark crazy ma...

The infamous Vang Vieng has something of a notorious reputation among foreigners, but don’t overlook it so fast. Far from being a hedonistic playpen for belligerent backpackers, it is one of the most stunningly beautiful places in the world with natural beauty in abundance. And you shouldn’t miss it for the world. Best sights include the famous Blue Lagoon of Vang Vieng, along with its many intricate cave systems, with adventure-based activities including tubing, kayaking and ziplining (you can even rent out ATV's!). See my Vang Vieng Travel Guide here along with how to do the activities I did in the video: http://www.nomadicadam.com/city-guide-to-vang-vieng-laos/
