What to Do

That Ing Hang ("Ing Hang Stupa")
 
This is a sacred stupa and reportedly the burial site for one of Buddha’s bones. It is an important place for Buddhists and is registered as a National Treasure of Lao PDR. It was built about 450 years ago by the King Marukhanakhone to commemorate the Buddha's visit to the site in the past. Buddha is believed to have delivered a sermon to people at the site and later took a rest under the “Hang” tree. This is the reason why the stupa is called That Ing Hang. the annual festival is held every November (exact date varies according to the lunar calendar.See event and festival page). That Ing Hang is located in Ban that("That village"). The easiest way to get there is to head out along Route 9 for about 12km and lelt by a police box, and then drive straight for about another 3km and you will come directly to That Ing Hang. There is a slightly shorter way along back-roads and this is sign-posted from the outskirts of Savannakhet.
Women are required to wear a traditional Sin (Lao Skirt) in order to enter the site. These are available next to the entrance. You need to pay for entry fee , its open daily from 8 a.m to 6 p.m.

Wat Xayaphoum( “Xayaphoum Temple &#8220)
 
The old city pagoda was built at the same time as Tha Hae village in 1542 BC and has been substantially improved since the beginning of the 20th century. Located in the center of the city along the bank of the Mekong River in Ban Xayaphoum, it is a beautiful building built in the original Savannakhet style. The temple area includes the monks’ living quarters and the monastery. Pee Mai Lao (The Lao New Year Celebration) and Boun Suang Huea (“boat racing festival&#8221) following Buddhist Lent are held here.

The Savannakhet Dinosaur Museum
 
This is a houses of dinosaur fossils or big lizard bones’ as called in Lao. They were excavated from Ban Tang Vay("Tang Vay Village"), in Xonbouly District. Three kinds of dinosaur bones have been discovered; pode,Iguanodon and Sauropode.The museum open daily from 9 a.m to 6 p.m.

Dong Phou Vieng National Protected Area
 
The area covers more than 1,970 sq. km. This National Protected Area features plenty of greenery and wild life. 31 villages of ethnic minorities are located in the area. It is a perfect ecotourism site as well as a biodiversity preserve. Trekking and home stays in the villages can be arranged during the dry season. The area is located about 5km from Phine city.

Waterfalls
 
There are three waterfalls located close to each other. Salene Waterfall is the highest (80m) and the most easily accessible. The other 2 waterfalls are Sadee Waterfall and Sakhoe Waterfall. Head along Route 9, 22km east of Sepon town, turn left at Ban Dong Noy, onto a laterite road through the jungle and streams and after about 25 km you come across them.

Dong Ling (“Monkey Forest&#8221)
 
This is a sacred forest located in Ban Dong Muong - covering more than 3 hectares .It is a monkey kingdom! The monkeys can be divided into three groups. The first group are used to humans and might even ask for food from people passing by! 
The second group usually stays in the spirit houses, while the third group generally gets food at the temple. Why not try to spot the three different groups! It's best to visit the Monkey Forest in the dry season. From Savannakhet city, take Route No. 9B,47km south to Ban Nakhou, turn left and after about 6.3km you will be at Ban Dongdokmay. Turn right there and carry on for another 12.6km. The site is open daily from 8am to 4pm

 That Oumoung ("Oumoung Stupa")
 
This is a beautiful square-shaped stupa, located in Ban Lahakok and was built between 1940 and 1950. While in general it resembles That Ing Hang, the top of the stupa is unique with its banana flower ornamentation. The stupa is a worthwhile stop for some interesting photographs. There is a festival held annually in February (exact date varies according to the lunar calendar). From Savannakhet City, take Route 13 south for about 70km, turn left at Ban Pakxong, and after 5km turn left at the T-shaped intersection. The stupa is on the left after another 2km and is open daily from 8am to 4pm.
