Pagoda Lotus attracts a lot of tourists in the floating water season 
While lotuses in the North bloom only in summer, the flower blooms in Dong Thap province year-round. Lotuses are everywhere, but they are very attractive during the floating water season. The kind of lotus in Phuoc Kien may be very special. Locals often refer to it by the name "Pagoda Lotus" because there are many giant lotuses in the pagoda ponds.

Apart from Phuoc Kien pagoda, tourist can also visit other destinations such as Tram Chim National Park and enjoy local specialties of the beautiful province.
