This is one of the largest sanctums in Northern Vietnam and it has received the record title of “The on-mountain pagoda with the largest main hall in Indochina” awarded by Mr. Thang Van Phuc - Former Deputy Minister of Home Affairs and President of Vietnam Record Association.

Moreover, the Main Hall stands out for its architecture, which has both classical elements, inherited from Vietnamese traditional monasteries, and modern ones, in terms of its vastness. Its huge scale serves to facilitate the Buddhist study, practice, and worship of numerous lay Buddhists and tourists worldwide.
