Plain of Jars attractions
In Phonsavan many different companies offer tours of the Plain of Jars and optionally around surrounding villages and other sights. See the Phonsavan section for activities and attractions around the Plain of Jars.
There are hundreds of jars across the various sites. Some were damaged in the Indochina War and some during the invasion of Chinese bandits; unfortunately more recently they are showing wear and tear caused by repeated climbing by tourists. Some of the sites have impressive bomb craters and jars split by the force of the bombing.
Jar Site 1 is one of the most impressive and the easiest to get to. Entrance fee to each of the jar site is 10,000 Kip. Take a (motor bike) tour to Jar Site 2 and 3. However, there are few signs, so don't be afraid to ask local people for the way or look for the blue and white painted sign to go to Site 2 or a spray painted sign on an electric post to find Site 3. There is a nice easy hike between the two sites, suitable for families. The path was cleared of unexploded ordnance in 2007, however visitors are strongly advised to follow the red and white markers.
Other visitable sites include Jar Site 16, 23 and 52.
