Srok Khleang

Srok Khleang lies in the southern Mekong delta, amid the waterways and rice fields of the Khmer country later known as Sóc Trăng. Its Buddhist community preserved the temple of Khleang, whose foundation tradition places it in the reign of the Cambodian king Ang Chan in the sixteenth century. The low delta lands were shared by Khmer, Vietnamese and Chinese communities as settlement expanded along the rivers and canals.
