  1. Vua Meo

    The outlandish Vua Meo is a palace constructed in a kind of bizarre ‘oriental baroque’ architectural style on the northern edge of town. Dating from 1921, it was built by the French to keep the Flower H’mong chief Hoang A Tuong happy and looks like a cross between an exotic church and a French chateau. A museum may open here some time in the future.
