Giac Ngan Pagoda was built by Luc Hoa Tang Buddhist sect more than 100 years ago, after Thien Lam Pagoda, at the same time as Phuoc Lam, Cao Son, Long Son, Hanh Lam, Cam Phong pagodas. At first, the pagoda was only built with simple materials. It was not until 1950 that it was built solidly according to today's architecture.

During the resistance war against the French and Americans, Giac Ngan Pagoda was once a safe base for revolutionary cadres. Nowadays, sometimes people still come back to visit the beloved temple of the past. During spring days and major Buddhist holidays such as the full moon days of January, April, and July, Giac Ngan Pagoda is always bustling and crowded. Believers and Buddhists who come here are not only local people but also many people from other places. Source: Tay Ninh Buddhism
