Sóc Trăng, Province in Mekong Delta, Vietnam
The province spans 3,298 square kilometers in southern Vietnam, featuring two major waterways: the Hau River and the My Thanh River flowing through agricultural lands.
During the reign of Emperor Minh Mang in the 19th century, the province received the name Nguyet Giang before returning to its original designation Soc Trang.
The region contains over 200 Buddhist temples, including the Mahatup Temple and Buu Son Temple, reflecting the combined heritage of Vietnamese, Khmer, and Chinese communities.
Travelers reach Soc Trang via Highway 1, with regular bus services from Ho Chi Minh City located 231 kilometers north of the provincial capital.
The name originates from Khmer words Srok Khleang, meaning Land of Depositories, referencing the area's function as a silver storage location in earlier times.
