Elle est devenue au fil du temps l’une des pagodes les plus vénérées de la région, littéralement prise d’assaut par les touristes et par les locaux. Arrivée rigolote aux airs de Venise exotique, avec ces dizaines de pirogues alignées dans une logique un peu exotique, aux abords de la pagode. Statues de Bouddhas recouvertes par les fidèles (hommes uniquement, femmes interdites) quotidiennement, devenues complètement difformes ! Ne pas manquer, sur le côté, la barge royale qui promène chaque année les quatre vénérées statues de Bouddha sur le lac, lors de la procession ancestrale.
