Chùa Tum Núp

Chùa Tum Núp (វត្តបទុមរង្សីទំនប់, Chùa Bô Tum Reng Sây Tum Núp)[1] is a Khmer Theravada Buddhist Wat in An Ninh commune, Cần Thơ, Vietnam. It is known for its ngo racing crews.[2]

History

As of 2025, a local news report called the Wat more than 400 years old and the center of religious and cultural life for the Khmer of Châu Thành hamlet, home to nearly 300 Khmer households.[2] Its men's and women's ngo crews both won the boat races of the Sóc Trăng province Ok Om Bok (អកអំបុក) festival in 2023.[3] In 2025 both crews won again at the races of the city of Cần Thơ, their third straight double title. The men's crew, Tum Núp 2, beat the crew of Chùa Prêk On Đơk in the final, and the women beat Chùa Kós Thum 2 of Cà Mau.[4]

Religious life

As of November 2025, Đại đức (Venerable) Lâm Hiệp was the abbot.[2] On November 9, 2025, the Wat held a celebration for its two winning crews with lay followers and city leaders.[4] On the evening of April 12, 2026, the closing program of the army and people's celebration of Khmer New Year (Chol Chnam Thmey, ចូលឆ្នាំថ្មី) was held at the Wat, and city and military leaders gave gifts to the abbots of the area's Wats.[5] On August 14, 2026, 100 bicycles and gifts were given at the Wat to Khmer students from families in need.[6] In September 2026 the Wat was finishing a new plank-built boat for its men's crew, 34 m (112 ft) long and about 4 m (13 ft) longer than the old one; the two boats that won its titles were put on display for visitors. Đại đức Lâm Hiệp was still the abbot.[7]
