Vientiane province (Lao: ແຂວງວຽງຈັນ[kʰwɛ̌ːŋwía̯ŋt͡ɕàn]) is a province of Laos in the country's northwest. As of 2015 the province had a population of 419,090.[2] Vientiane province covers an area of 15,610 square kilometres (6,030 sq mi) composed of 11 districts. The principal towns are Vang Vieng and Muang Phôn-Hông.
In the mid-16th century, Vientiane, under King Setthathirat's rule, became prosperous. It became a major centre of Buddhist teachings and many temples were built.[3]
In 1989, the province was split into two halves: Vientiane prefecture containing the city Vientiane itself, and the remainder of the province.
