History tells of the "Chao Anouvong Cave" (Tham Chao Anouvong), where after attempting to reclaim the country from Siam, he was defeated and lost the city of Vientiane. He fled to this cave, hoping to seek refuge with King Minh Mang, the Vietnamese king. However, his son-in-law, "Chao Noi Muang Phuan," the ruler of Xiangkhouang, captured him and sent him to Bangkok, where he died. Later, when the Lao government elevated Xaisomboun to a special district, the cave was developed as a tourist attraction and established Anouvong City as the administrative center of Xaisomboun Province. There are two caves, each accessible from a different entrance.

The first is the large cave, with its entrance clearly visible. It's located to the left of the sign (facing the sign). This cave is not very deep, approximately 200 meters. The entrance is still intact, with a small limestone waterfall. Due to the high number of visitors, the limestone waterfall has been lost. The path is slippery, so be careful. The second cave entrance is on the right side of the sign. Look for the guard statue. The last statue has a small opening to enter.
The front of the cave is landscaped with a public garden and features a standing statue of Chao Anuwong.
Location: About 4 kilometers from the city center, taking the same route as to Wang Nam Khiao.
Hours: Open daily.
