Xiangkhoang Plateau
The Xiangkhouang Plateau or Xiangkhoang Plateau, also known in French as Plateau du Tran-Ninh is a plateau in the north of Laos. The landscape is characterized by green mountains, rugged karst formations and verdant valleys with plenty of rivers, caves and waterfalls.
==Geography==
The Luang Prabang Range, and the Annamite Range separate the plateau from Thailand and Vietnam respectively.〔''The Ancient and Classical History of Southeast Asia''〕 The ranges of the plateau are sandstone and limestone mountains between 2000 and 2800 meters high (about 6561 and 9842 feet high). These have been heavily deforested. The highest mountain of Laos, Phou Bia, is located to the south of the Xiangkhoang. Altitudes within the plateau area may reach 1000 m.〔(Laos, Le « Pays du million d’éléphants » )〕 Several tributaries of the Mekong drain in the plateau, such as the Nam Ngum, Ngiap and the Khan River.〔(Encyclopædia Britannica - Xiangkhoang Plateau )〕
The major town in the area is the capital of Phonsavan. The plateau gives its name to present-day Xiangkhouang Province in which Phonsavan is located.
