The north citadel has a length of 726m, the same width and height as the east citadel. The southern citadel has collapsed into the Da Rang River, only a part remaining in the southwest corner, 250m long. The west wall runs around the west side of Hon Moc, divided into two sections: The first section from the southeast corner to the western foot of Hon Moc is 600m long; The second section runs diagonally in the northwest corner connecting the west wall and the north wall. The 5th wall is the middle wall, 920m long. West of the Lake Citadel within the inner citadel area, there is also a small mountain called Hon Moc, about 60m high. On top of Hon Moc, there are many construction materials of an ancient architectural work. On the walls of the citadel today, there are still traces of watchtowers. Outside the north and east walls, there are traces of moats as a defense system supporting the wall. Thanh Ho has been studied by researchers for a long time. The book Dai Nam Nhat Thong Chi describes Ho Citadel as follows: “An Nghiep ancient citadel: north of Da Dien river, in An Nghiep commune, Tuy Hoa district, circumference of 1400 truong; Legend has it that it was built by the Champa people, and is commonly called Ho Citadel... Now the old foundation still exists..." In recent years, research on Ho Citadel relics has continued to be promoted.

The excavation also recovered a large number of civil and architectural ceramics, including tube tile heads decorated with many different motifs. These tube tile heads date back to the 5th to 7th centuries. In addition to the antiques found during excavations, many antiques within the Ho citadel relics have also been discovered in recent times. Most recently, in early 2006 in the Hon Moc area, 4 ancient statues were discovered. These statues date back to the 7th to 10th centuries. Results obtained through surveys and research have confirmed that Ho Citadel was built very early; possibly in the 4th century and existed for about 10 centuries until Vietnamese people began to live here. The research results have also confirmed the multifaceted value of the Ho citadel relics. Certainly Ho Citadel still contains many historical and cultural values. The recognition of the Ho Citadel relic as a national archaeological historical site will be a favorable condition for continuing to research and promote the cultural and historical values ​​of this citadel.

The Da Trang mango is called advanced mango, because it was promoted to the King along with Quang Nam's bon bon fruit. When bringing troops from Cu Huan to Quy Nhon, Nguyen Anh (King Gia Long) often stopped at Xuan Dai to rest and prepare food. Maybe it was during this period that Nguyen Anh tasted Da Trang mango and remembered the delicious taste so he later ordered Phu Yen to advance. Every year, when the mango crop comes, the mandarins send people to the pagoda to inventory the harvested mangoes, make baskets and send them to the Kinh to present to the King, leaving only enough to worship Buddha and entertain guests. During Minh Mang's reign, every year during the Doan Ngo Festival, Phu Yen had to pay 1,000 Da Trang mangoes to the court. Currently, at White Stone Pagoda there are only 4 old mango trees left located at the 4 corners of the pagoda. Of the 4 trees, 3 have not produced fruit for a long time, and one tree sometimes bears fruit, sometimes not. In the temple garden, there are also many mango trees, but they are varieties from other places, not the excellent mangoes brought to the King. White Stone Pagoda was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a national historical and cultural relic in 1997. Source: World Heritage
