Munirangsyaram Pagoda
Chùa Munir Ansay
A Theravada Buddhist temple of the Khmer community in central Can Tho, with golden spires and naga decorations reflecting the Khmer culture of the delta.
Munirangsyaram Pagoda was built in 1946 and is the religious center of Can Tho's Khmer community. It follows Theravada Buddhism. The temple has typical Khmer architecture, with multi-tiered roofs topped by golden spires and naga serpent decorations. The main hall houses a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, and monks often practice here. Entry is free, but visitors must remove their shoes before entering the hall and dress appropriately. It is on central Hoa Binh Boulevard, about 10 minutes on foot from Ninh Kieu Wharf, and is worth a stop for anyone interested in Khmer culture in the Mekong Delta.
