Site analysis
Most of the area in the area is fields, gardens of local people and scattered with simple houses.
The field is a gathering place for many species of birds flying to feed and live, mostly storks, and also a place to raise poultry such as ducks.
In the local area, there are scattered temples worshiping indigenous gods such as the temple of Dam Da Great Mother, the national mother of Vietnam, Opposite the site is the Buddha Legend park project in the process of planning.
Every year, Tien Pagoda holds a big festival, procession and parade from temple of Dam Da Great Mother to Tien Pagoda. Currently, according to the new design, it is proposed to add a procession route directly from Buddha Legend Park, across the site to Tien Pagoda.
