There are many beautiful places in Soctrang such as: Bat pagoda, clay pagoda, Chen Kieu pagoda, My Phuoc Island…, but the one I like best is Bat pagoda, because it is not only beautiful but also impressive.
There are many beautiful places in Soctrang such as: Bat pagoda, clay pagoda, Chen Kieu pagoda, My Phuoc Island…, but the one I like best is Bat pagoda. I like this temple because it is not only beautiful but also impressive. The first time I visited this temple when I was a grade 10 student. I went there with my history teacher and my classmates. I remembered that day we had history subject and our teacher decided to visited one of the famous old temples in my hometown. He wanted to introduce to us the typical architectural complex in the beliefs of Khmer people. The first time I saw it, I was attracted by a lot of huge old trees and thousands of bats hanging like fruit on trees. The monk told us the history of this old temple and expalined why the bats live in this place. He told that bats in the temple were the rare species of flying fox bats, weighing 1 to 1.5 kg and 1.5m wingspan. Although the bats lived in the fruit garden, they never eat fruit in the temple. They often flied very far to seek food. When the sun went down, the temple is bustling with the sound made by bats. That was the time the bats leave the temple to search for food. We also visited Ba Den temple and the pigs with five hoofs living in the temple. My classmates and I took pictures in under the palm trees and the huge trees in the pagoda.
