VietNamNet Bridge – Chen Kieu Pagoda (Sro Loun) is a Khmer-styled pagoda in the Mekong Delta province of Soc Trang.

It is located 10km from Soc Trang City, on the way from Soc Trang to Bac Lieu.

It was first built in the 19th century and rebuilt in 1969. Due to lack of construction materials, monks came up with the inspiration of calling for donations of bowls and plates from local people for use in decorating the main building.

There are a number of the Buddha statues of various sizes in the garden of Chen Kieu Pagoda, each representing different teachings of Buddhism.

It was recognised as a province-level historical and cultural relic in 2012.
