So from then until now, the pagoda has been called Xiem Can, which is both simple and easy to remember, but also has something very impressive. To date, this beautiful temple in the West has gone through 9 generations of abbots and several times of restoration and repair. Maybe Xiem Can is not the oldest ancient pagoda, nor is it the largest pagoda, but in terms of magnificent beauty and scale, this pagoda is always the most popular destination in Bac Lieu.

A special feature of the Main Hall is to focus on opening wide doors on both sides to avoid the morning sunlight shining directly into the shrine. Because all items in the temple are facing straight East. According to Khmer beliefs, the main hall usually faces East because they believe that Buddha's spiritual path goes from West to East. Located on a 1.5m high brick foundation with three steps and a surrounding corridor, the main hall of Xiem Can Pagoda has a roof corner of each peak covered with a long, curved, soft snake's tail. The main hall has a height of 36.3 m and is considered the tallest in the Southern Khmer pagoda complex in Vietnam. The beauty inside the Main Hall has a vibrant, outstanding and solemn color. This place is made with a total of 100 round concrete pillars, creating stability for the elegant building. At each junction between the column heads and the roof is the head of the snake god Nagar. In the Khmer concept, the snake was transformed by Buddha with compassion. Since then, the snake has become a protective mascot for the temple. Outside, opposite the main hall is a symbolic pillar with the image of a 5-headed snake, used to light candles on holidays. Here we want to imply that the teachings of Buddha Dharma will enlighten humanity, helping everyone to live a good life like a snake tamed thanks to the Buddha's compassion and forgiveness. Behind that is a traditional house - sala built extremely solidly and completely made of wood. Also quite elaborately decorated with unique motifs that remain intact even after many years.
