Sights in Soc Trang

  1. A

    Kh’leang Pagoda

    Except for the rather garish paint job, this pagoda could have been transported straight from Cambodia. Originally built from bamboo in 1533, it had a complete rebuild in 1905 (this time using concrete). There are seven religious festivals held here every year, drawing people from outlying areas of the province.

    Khmer Museum

    This museum is dedicated to the history and culture of Vietnam’s Khmer minority. It doubles as a sort of cultural centre, and traditional dance and music shows are periodically staged here for larger groups.
