The restoration project was carried out based on the temple’s existing grounds, expanding the surrounding landscape and including key structures such as the Temple of Saint Mother Thuong Ngan (dedicated to Princess Que Mi Nuong), a shrine to Quan Hoang Ca (a revered mandarin general) and facilities for management and reception.

The completion of the architectural and landscape restoration aims to establish the site as an attractive spiritual and cultural destination for both locals and tourists.
