Kap Chen Temple (not yet prepared for visitors – as of late 2021) is a sandstone temple featuring at least one tower that is only partially standing and a large sprawl of tumbled sandstone blocks buried in overgrowth at the time of visiting.
The base of the partially standing tower appears intact and along with decorative carvings around its base. A few decorated blocks can be seen among the tumbled rubble. With the vegetation, it’s hard to conclude the layout. In the near future, I am sure we will find out more.
