Hat Sao (better known as Nong Kiau or sometimes Nong Khiaw) is a village in the Laotian province of Luang Prabang.

Overview

It is popular for tourists because of the walking and cycling routes near the village and the mountain-climbing opportunities. The only good way to get there or to get away is by boat from Luang Prabang or Muang Khua, near the Vietnamese border. There is also a road from Pak Mong to Hat Sao. The village is well known in Laos because of the bridge, which was given by China, that connects the two parts of the town. The bridge gives you a great view of the Nam Ou river, and the breathtaking rocks, mountains and hills around it.
