To the land of ancient artifacts

Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to travel to the ancient Oc Eo region for sightseeing. From the foot of the mountain, we followed the concrete road all the way to the summit of Ba The.

The four-armed Buddha statue is an ancient artifact from the Oc Eo period, dating back thousands of years, and is worshipped at Linh Son Pagoda.

In front of Son Tien Pagoda is a statue of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva.

At the foot of Ba Thê mountain is the Óc Eo cultural exhibition house.

Ba Thê Mountain, also known as Vọng Thê Mountain or Hoa Thê Sơn, is 221m high with a circumference of approximately 4,220m. It is located in the middle of the Long Xuyên quadrilateral plain, in Óc Eo commune, about 40km from Long Xuyên ward along provincial road 943.

Early in the morning, the scenery on the summit of Ba Thê mountain is deserted and tranquil, with only a few tourist vehicles occasionally driving down the slope. At the highest point of the mountain stands the Sơn Tiên pagoda, silently nestled amidst the landscape. From the pagoda's courtyard, looking down at the lush green rice fields, it resembles a picturesque rural scene. To the west lies the sea of ​​Hà Tiên and Ba Hòn, still shrouded in a mystical mist. According to archaeologists, the Ba Thê area was once a sea. Due to the passage of time and the changes of nature, the sea has receded, giving way to the landmass and rocky mountains that remain today.
