Five kilometres southwest of Tra Vinh, this large, square pond is a favourite with local picnickers, and a spiritual site for the Khmers. It would have once served as a bathing pond for the 10th-century Angkor-era temple that was situated here.
Built on the temple ruins, Ang Pagoda is a venerable Khmer-style pagoda, fusing classic Khmer architecture with French colonial influences. The interior features brightly painted scenes from the Buddha’s life and the friendly monks may try chatting to you.
Opposite the pagoda entrance is the nicely presented Khmer Minority People’s Museum , which displays photos, costumes and other artefacts of traditional Khmer culture.
