Doi Pagoda (Bat Pagoda) also called Ma Toc Pagoda, or Mahatuc Pagoda was built
during the 16th century, and it has been renovated several times since. The
pagoda is famous for its beautiful architecture, especially its very large roof
that houses tens of thousands of bats. They cling to tree branches all day, fly
away at night to seek food, and return the following morning. The bats never eat
the fruit in the garden.
An ancient Buddha statue and a number of Buddhist books written on sugar palm
leaves can be admired there.
