64km south of Sam Neua, signposted off Route 6 ∙ Best reached by motorbike, but if you want to use public transport, take a bus or sawngthaew from Sam Neua’s main bus station towards Phonsavan (roughly hourly 7am–2pm; 20,000K) and get off at Ban Phao. The stones are a 6km walk away along the dirt road.

Located just off Route 6, 6km southwest of Ban Phao, Hintang Archeological Park is home to the Suan Hin or “Stone Garden”. Surrounded by forest, the megalithic stone gardens consist of large slabs of rock that have been stood upright and arranged in circles. The age and origin of the sites as well as the culture that created them remain a mystery, though the pillars have been linked by archeologists to the stone funerary urns of the Plain of Jars and it’s thought that they’re approximately two thousand years old.
