Louangphrabang, LAOS (GeoFact of the Day) — If you saw Bing.com's homepage image today, an interesting image illustrates humongous stone containers scattered across a field, resembling Stonehenge, but with jars instead of vertical and horizontal slabs! The site of the remains, fittingly-named the Plain of Jars, is the northern part of Laos, a Southeast Asian country east of Thailand and west of Vietnam. More specifically, the Plain of Jars is on the Xiangkhoang Plateau, east of the city of Louangphrabang (Luang Prabang). Starting in 2015, the Lao government sought to designate the Plain of Jars feature as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
