That Xieng Tung

That Xieng Tung, the most important stupa in the region of Muang Xing, is a modern built-temple that offers tourists a stunning vista of mountains and verdant green valleys that surround it.

That Xieng Tung, a majestic stupa that is set on top of a hill, is known to many not just because of its architecture but also because of its religious significance — many believe that the temple is home to Buddha’s Adam’s apple. While on site, tourists can see for themselves some important artifacts — on the left side of the stupa, one can find the temple’s sacred fountain and sacred stone while on the right is the old moat and wall of the stupa. Patrons flock the temple during the That Xieng Tung festival that is usually celebrated between late October and early November.
