Wat Xieng Thong Standing City Entrance

The city entry to Wat Xieng thong is reaching by way of a small lane from Sakkarine Road. There are newly built or restored traditional-style houses on either side of the lane. The entry to the wat is through a formal stupa-crowned entryway of brick and plaster and is near the golden Carriage House.
