Oudomxay

Although we spent little time in this sleepy mountainous town, we have fond memories of Oudomxay. When here, the Chinese influence is undeniable as is the beauty of the mountains backdrop.

We just stayed here for a day on our way to the secluded far North Province of Phongsali.

The Chinese food at a small, filthy restaurant in this town was quite possibly the best we've tried. Besides gorging on oily Chinese...

We had a great view of the city from our cheaper than cheap room.

We climbed a hill and visited a temple at the top of the hill watching the sun set behind the panorama of mountains.

Mmmm.... good ol' Oudomxay...
