The temple complex will be built on an area of 2.7 hectares, featuring a central memorial temple; a corridor of commemorative steles honoring around 40,000 individuals; a traditional house; a reception house; sculpture spaces; internal roads; green parks; and synchronized technical infrastructure. The total investment is estimated at VND323 billion (US$12.3 million), funded through contributions from businesses and benefactors inside and outside the province, with implementation expected from 2026 to 2028.
The project is part of an 8.9-hectare master plan in the Oc Dao area of An Xuyen Ward, harmoniously connected with Truc Lam Ca Mau Zen Monastery, forming a distinctive cultural, spiritual and ecological space. The province will also invest in key technical infrastructure items using the state budget to ensure connectivity, safety and sustainable landscaping.
