Bac Giang province has approved an investment plan to build a temple dedicated to the cultural celebrity in his hometown, Yen Ninh residential area. Work on the temple started in 2016 with a total investment of 96.8 billion VND (4.1 million USD). Now, the temple has been basically completed with the following items: a temple, a ceremony ground, left and right halls, a tower, an octagonal building, a stele house, and auxiliary works.

Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Mai Son presents the decisions to the representative of Viet Yen district.

In particular, the statue of Dr. Than Nhan Trung was built with a total height of 10.2 m (the statue is 7.2 m and the pedestal is 3 m). Currently, the district People's Committee is building a relief behind the statue.
