It is very unfortunate that due to the war, many works of Dong Nghiem Pagoda no longer exist. Dong Nghiem Pagoda still maintains a fairly complete system of worship statues concentrated in the upper palace. Most of the statues are carved from wood and gorgeously painted, among which the statues of Tam The, Amitabha, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Bodhisattva Bodhisattva are beautiful statues. There are also many other precious worship objects. In particular, the pagoda still has 3 valuable stone steles left.

Faced with the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army and people in the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign, over 1,000 Americans and more than 5,000 pro-American Vietnamese jostled, pushed, and kicked each other to compete for a place on the terrace of the building. building to be rescued by helicopter.

The insurgents completely occupied the inside of the station, but upstairs, the enemy still stubbornly used guns to shoot sporadically, at the same time calling Saigon and Thu Dau Mot for emergency help.
