  • The snowy white "cotton wool balls" are clouds.
  • If you see that the Mekong is flowing upon an embankment like a track, believe me: you are wrong! The light is shining from SE (bottom right!).
satellite image 11.01.1989 The entire image covers about (86 km x 71 km ) 6100 km².

The plain of Müang Sing (60 - 80 km²) is clearly to be seen. There is only one other a little bit smaller plain: Müang Phong that is situated already in China (NE of Müang Sing, looking like a person).

There is no other area for larger settlements. This is the reason for the geopolitical importance of Müang Sing.
