The pagoda was built according to Vietnamese Buddhist architecture, with resemblances to the temples of the Khmer. Most temples were built in eastern orientation, a sort of glorification of the rising sun, which could be considered as a manifestation of the sun cult so favored in ancient civilizations. As the residence of gods and also to withstand the weather by the shore, the temples were made up of more endurable materials such as bricks, laterites and sandstones. Numerous stones were carved with artistic craftsmanship to portray the gods and the deities, the epics of spirit animals like water dragons, as well as the important events of the nation's history. For the temples dedicated to Buddhism, the architecture is with stone carving related to the stories of Lord Buddha and his teachings.
