Clay & Bat Pagoda

Clay Pagoda
60km from Can Tho, the pagoda was built nearly 400 years ago. In 1928, Ngo Kim Tong, while renovating the pagoda had decided to use clay instead of bronze to make all the statues because, at that time the casting bronze statues was very expensive. The statues include a meticulously modeled status of Buddha sitting on a 1,000-petal lotus-each lotus petal supports a seated deity. The four-meter high Da Bao tower also attracts the attention of many visitors. The 13-storey tower has 208 deities standing in front of 208 doors. Besides, there are four pairs of giant candles that are 200kg of wax, 2.6m high and one-meter diameter.

Bat Pagoda
60km from Can Tho, the pagoda used to be called Mahatup or Ma Toc, which means "powerful troops". It is considered the most beautiful pagoda among the more than 600 pagodas of Khmer-Vietnamese community in Mekong Delta. This is also a favourite stop for tourists because of the large colony of bats that inhabits here. There are thousands of them and the largest bats weigh about 3 kg and have the wing span of about 1.5 m.
