Phou Bia is the highest (2,820m) mountain in Laos, situated in Anouvong District, 30km north of the province’s capital. The annual average temperature on the top of Phou Bia is approximately negative 5 degrees. This area is rich in biodiversity, providing a home for various species of wildlife. Interestingly, there is a special type of grasses resembling a pile of straw that covers the ground, which feels smooth when you step on it. Moreover, thousands of priceless trees such as the Mai Long Leng (Fokienia Hodginsii) are also standing along the valley of the mountain. The climate is fresh, humid and cold throughout the year which make this area attractive and suitable for relaxation, especially for those who would like to experience cold weather.
