Ba Om Pond (Square Lake) is a “spiritual site for the Khmers” and a “picnic and drinking spot” for Vietnamese, says Daily Travel. “It would have once served as a bathing pond for the 10th-century Angkor-era temple that was situated here.” A short walk away is Ang Pagoda, a “beautiful and venerable Khmer-style pagoda” that fuses “classic Khmer architecture with French colonial influences.” Its interior features “brightly painted scenes from the Buddha’s life.” The pagoda has been “rebuilt and restored several times,” explains Fodors. Originally built in the 10th century, it’s set “among ancient trees.”
