Description   
It was built in 1958 by the Bonze Superior Tho Da, a Buddhist dignitary and member of Chinese Society, to follow Chinese Hue Nguyen Buddhism.

In 1989, Mr. Le Van Can organized the restoration of the Thien Vuong Pagoda, also called the Chinese Pagoda. It consists of three yellow buildings. In the Minh Quang Shrine, there are three statues of the three saints of Tay Phuong, Buddha, Bodhisattva Kwan Yin and the Great Bodhisattva. The statues are 4m high, weigh 1.5 tons and were imported from Hong Kong in 1958 by the Bonze Superior Tho Da. There are also four great statues of the Four Heavenly Kings, which are 2.6m high and made of concrete.
