New friends, ancient temples – the perfect combo (Source: Internet)The Mekong Delta – Vietnam’s “Rice Bowl” – is not only famous for its floating markets and emerald waterways but also for its stunning collection of ancient Khmer and Vietnamese temples that rise like jewels from the riverbanks. From the majestic Khmer pagoda of Chùa Dơi (Bat Pagoda) in Soc Trang to the serene Tra Vinh temples and the colorful Cao Dai Holy See in Tay Ninh, this region offers some of Vietnam’s most photogenic and spiritually rich sites.
