The relic complex comprises four tangible heritage items, including Vien Minh Pagoda, Quan Trieu Temple and the two ancient bells.

The pair of bells, made in 1611, demonstrated the meticulous bronze-casting technique and sculpture of Vietnamese people in the 17th century.

Vien Minh Pagoda, built in the Ly dynasty (1010-1225), is one of the three oldest pagodas in Cao Bang province. The Quan Trieu Temple is dedicated to a famous Tay ethnic general in the Ly dynasty.
