    for something different visit Viengxay, the birthplace of the modern Lao PDR. A remote and stunning limestone karst environment with 468 caves used to shelter 20,000 people for nine years during the most sustained bombing campaign in world history.
    A government in exile developed underground offices, planning rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hospitals, a theatre, schools, printing works, a supermarket, steel works, fuel depots, textile production and much more in this remarkable hidden city.
    A recently launched world class audio tour allows those who lived in the caves during the war years to guide visitors through their caves and their history.
