On the east bank of the Sangker River, there is an extremely old pagoda called Wat Samraong Knong, which can be translated as a temple in the forest. It was used as a prison in the Khmer Rouge period. A new pagoda is now being built, and there are some pictures commemorating the people who died during the Khmer Rouge in the north, which can be used to understand some historical facts.
In the coastal city of Battambang, the winding path of the Linzhong Temple on the top of the hill is very secluded, which means that it is protected by high monks.
I came here mainly because of the history here during the Khmer Rouge period, which is quite worthy of understanding.
An extremely old pagoda that was previously used as a prison during the Khmer Rouge period. It is worth visiting.
