Doi Pagoda :
Doi Pagoda is located on Le Hong Phong Street, 2 km from downtown Soc Trang, Soc Trang province.

It is believed that the pagoda was built during the 16th century, and it has been renovated several times since. The pagoda is famous for its beautiful architecture, especially its very large roof that houses millions of bats. Interestingly enough, the presence of the bats has not affected the plants growing in and around the pagoda.

An ancient Buddha statue and a number of Buddhist books written on sugar palm leaves can be admired there.
