Muang Sing district is picturesque with mountains. Muang Sing was a garrison town in the past and a northern most outpost during the French colonial rule, was known as the center of the Sipsongpana civilization where the relics of old barracks and other colonial buildings could still be seen. The Sipsongpana people have shifted to Yunnan Province in the Southern China. There are many old temples of different styles, but a lot of them were destroyed during the war.[2]

There are some 20 temples in Muang Sing. Of note is Wat Sing Jai or Wat Xieng Jai, located behind the Muangsing Guest House. The monastery, painted in hues reminiscent of the Caribbean, has a museum, but because its items are of high local value, it is closed to visitors for fear of theft.[15] Another major temple is the Wat Namkeo. The wihan in the town are typically multi-tired roofed buildings typical of northern Laos, but most houses have corrugated metal roofs and wooden beams, reflecting a lack of wealth in the area. The Buddhas, however, are golden, and typically have large long earlobes, commonly seen in Xishuangbanna, China and Shan State of Burma.

Luang Namtha Museum, also known as Luang Namtha Provincial Museum, is located in the capital city of Luang Namtha. Largely an anthropological museum, it contains numerous items related to local people such as ethnic clothing,[16] Khamu bronze drums, textiles, ceramics, tools, household utensils, hand-crafted weapons, and Buddhism-related items.[17]
