Sing District is mountainous.
Muang Sing was a garrison town in the past and the northernmost outpost during French colonial rule.
It was known as the center of the Sipsongpana civilization where the relics of old barracks and other colonial buildings can still be seen.
The Sipsongpana people have shifted to Yunnan Province in southern China.
There are many old temples of different styles, but a lot of them were destroyed during the war.

There are some 20 temples in Muang Sing.
Of note is Wat Sing Jai or Wat Xieng Jai, 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.
Another major temple is Wat Namkeo.
The wihan in the town are typically multi-tiered, roofed buildings typical of northern Laos, but most houses have corrugated metal roofs and wooden beams, reflecting the poverty of the area.
The Buddhas, however, are golden, and typically have large long earlobes, commonly seen in Xishuangbanna, China, and the Shan State of Burma.

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