Also recorded as Preah Kuk Preah Nipean, it’s a contemporary monastery with an old and new pagoda. Also featuring a rock shelter where one can see a reclining Buddha and small shrines. The site is located on a rise of the west bank and overlooks the Mekong river offering beautiful views.
The older pagoda is located to the east by the river’s edge, but I am not sure how old, while a newer, larger pagoda that’s built of laterite is near the stairs that lead up to the rock shelter. It’s a very popular place, and many people come here to pray and pay respects.
