Extractions: Geography and landmarks in Laos Laos is girdled by Vietnam Thailand Cambodia China and Burma Rivers and mountains dominate the country's topography. The Mekong River , which is the country's largest, runs the entire length of the country, providing fertile flood plains for agriculture and forming the country's border with Thailand. It is also Laos' main transportation throughway. Over 70% of the country contains mountains and plateaus. Bordering Vietnam, the Annamite Chain runs parallel to the Mekong for half the length of the country. The rough mountains average between 1500-3000 meters in height, and at their southern extremity open up to form the Bolaven Plateau , a 10,000 square kilometer large area that produces mountain rice, coffee, tea and other high-altitude crops. The highest mountain is Phu Bia (2819 meters) in northern Laos. Two-thirds of Laos is forested and only 10% of the country is considered suitable for agriculture. Given the topography, it is fortunate that Laos has one of the lowest population densities in Asia - around 18 people per square kilometer. Most of the population is settled along fertile river valleys, although there are many small tribes living in the hills. The largest population centers, Vientiane and Savannakhet , are both in the Mekong River Valley; 85% of the population lives in rural areas.

Extractions: Cambodia Laos Myanmar Thailand ... e-cards Travel Guide - Laos Travel Guide Map of Laos Land-locked and laid-back Laos (formerly called Lan Xang or the Land of a Million Elephants), is the forgotten country of South East Asia. It has a distinctive leisurely and spiritual way of life, where Buddhism dominates its daily life. Laos is the least developed of the three former French Indochinese states and went through decades of colonial domination, internal conflict and socialism which brought the country to its knees in the 1970s. Situated in the heart of French Indochina, Laos shares borders with Thailand, Myanmar, China, Vietnam and Cambodia. It is the only Southeast Asian country without direct access to the sea and resulted in its isolation and it being one of the poorest and least visited countries in the world. Laos covers an area of 236,800 sq. km, about two thirds the size of Germany with most of the country mountainous and where there are no mountains, mainly highland plateaus. Over half of this landlocked country's area is densely forested and 70% of it mountainous and beneath its tropical canopy is home to hundreds of rare flora and over 1,200 species of wildlife.
Extractions: Cambodia Laos Myanmar Thailand ... e-cards Travel Guide - Vientiane, Laos Travel Guide Map of Laos Vientiane is the capital city of Laos, located on the bank of the Mekong River, one of the countries in Indochina, where this mighty river is the life support of the economic and agriculture. This city is the center of culture, commerce and administration in Laos. Vientiane's major attractions are its serene Buddhist monasteries and significant monuments that dominate the scene on the streets of central Vientiane. In 1563, King Setthathirat made Vientiane, the capital of the kingdom of Lane Xang (The Land of a Million Elephants). The two most important Wats of Vientiane, Wat That Luang and Wat Phra Kaeo date back to that time. In 1827 Vientiane had been conquered and sacked by a Siamese army. For decades the town lay in ruins, until the French, at the beginning of their colonial reign rebuilt it. However, Vientiane today does not feature French-influenced architecture to the same extent as Phnom Penh and Saigon but instead shows a strong Thai influence. The capital city and seat of government sits on a bend in the Mekong River amidst fertile alluvial plains. It supports a population of 464,000 with an area of 180 sq. km. Despite its chequered past, Vientiane is a laid-back city with a number of interesting wats and lively markets.
