The park headquarters are in the town. HistoryBefore the Laotian Civil War, Viengthong District was under the same jurisdiction as Pak Xeng District, Luang Prabang Province and was a Buddhist settlement called Muang Hiem, which means 'beware of the tiger', alluding to tiger attacks in the area. There was a temple called Vat Hiem on a nearby hill where the district government administration building sits today, but this was destroyed by US bombing during the Laotian Civil War. The only remnants are a stupa and an unexploded bomb lodged deep inside the earth, deemed not to be dangerous.[3] Sights and activitiesThere is an early morning market visited by villagers from outside the town. Its speciality is bamboo shoots. A short walk or cycle from the town there are some hot springs, with some Khmu villages nearby. There are also cycle rides to the Nam Khan River and a wooden Buddhist temple in Poung Hai village.[3] References1. ^ {{Districts of North Laos}}{{coord missing|Laos}}2. ^Maplandia world gazetteer 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.namet.org/visit_files/Biking%20and%20Walking%20Around%20Viengthong.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120527081254/http://www.namet.org/visit_files/Biking%20and%20Walking%20Around%20Viengthong.pdf|dead-url=yes|archive-date=27 May 2012|title=Biking and Walking Around Viengthong|author=Viengthong Office of Information & Culture and Nam EtPhou Louey NPA|accessdate=22 November 2011}} 3 : Districts of Laos|Districts of Houaphanh Province|Tourism in Laos |
