Review & FAQ:
This 30-foot thâat is one of the holiest places in Laos and is said to be the home of a relic of the Buddha’s spine. Built of stone in the 16th century, the That Ing Hang Stupa marks the place where the Buddha once stopped to rest while he was sick. He leaned against a hang tree, and so the stupa was named Ing Hang. Visitors to the stupa can visit a hollow section in its base, where they will find a collection of images of the Buddha. By tradition, however, women are not permitted to enter the temple, and respectful dress is required of all who wish to visit.
