Since 2013, the Cultural Heritage Administration and the Korea Cultural Heritage Foundation have been working on a heritage restoration project at the World Heritage Site “Vat Phou and Associated Ancient Settlements within the Champasak Cultural Landscape” in Lao PDR. The project focuses on restoring the collapsed stone structure called Hong Nang Sida, located in the southern part of the Vat Phou Temple Complex. This site, also known as the “Temple of Princess Sida,” is gradually regaining its original appearance thanks to the ongoing restoration efforts by a Korean research team.

The archaeological site of the ancient city is situated on the plains adjacent to the Mekong River. The city was surrounded by two layers of brick and earthen ramparts, with a moat in between. These ramparts measured approximately 2.4 km from north to south and 1.8 km from east to west, with the best-preserved sections standing up to 6 meters high and 14 meters thick. The walls and moats were likely constructed to manage and utilize the waters from the Phou Kao Mountains' tributaries.
