The new temple, built from 2000 to 2002, in the same architectural style, is an impressive work of art with a height of up to 21m. This temple not only creates stability with its reinforced concrete structure, but also shows sophistication and elegance through traditional highlights such as yin and yang tiles and decorative patterns on the walls. The new temple is not only a place to display images of leaders but also a sacred space to burn incense and worship. The upper floor of the temple has a portrait statue of the Poet, cast in bronze, accompanied by verses and words praising him from the people. This creates a space that is not only a place of reverence but also a place to explore and better understand the cultural heritage of Vinh Long. Although it has undergone a new construction process, we cannot ignore the old temple area, a project started in 1972 with uniform architecture with three-entrance gate and a total area of nearly 84 square meters. The unique feature of this temple is not only the roof decorated with details and stylized dragon and cloud patterns, but also the majestic altar where people come to worship. The two main columns are embossed with verses similar to those in the new temple, creating a spiritual and traditional space. Not simply individual buildings, each building in Nguyen Dinh Chieu's mausoleum area is immersed in a green space, with airy gardens surrounded by all kinds of ornamental plants. This creates a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, making those who visit feel relaxed. Nguyen Dinh Chieu, although not a descendant of Vinh Long, spent most of his life contributing to artistic labor in this locality. This poet created a strong influence, building love and respect from the community. Therefore, July 1 every year, his birthday, has become an important traditional cultural festival for the people of Vinh Long, to commemorate the famous poet of this Southern region. The festival is not only an opportunity to celebrate and honor the poet, but also a great occasion to explore unique culture and express deep gratitude to our ancestors. Participating in the festival, you will have the opportunity to hear stories about his life and career, and better understand a collection of his poems during the resistance period. Don't forget to write this address in your travel guide to make your upcoming trip to Vinh Long complete and enjoy every level of emotion that this architectural complex brings.
