Another fascinating wat to visit in Takeo is Wat Phnom Khliang, a Buddhist pagoda erected in 1753. The site is located in Prey Slek commune, around 12km south of the provincial town. Besides being a religious venue for the Buddhists to gather, this landmark is a natural and cultural attraction. Here, you see lots of local people taking oaths and praying to learn about some aspects of their religious and cultural life. Historically speaking, this place used to serve as a hospital during the Khmer Rouge regime. With the relaxing atmosphere, this pagoda grows to be a favorite shelter for people to calm down, and rest. You can also notice the 30m high mountain in the area. The top of the mountain has a magical granite stone from which water flows all season. Just look for something enchanting in this revered site!
