This article examines the architecture and artistic value of Kien An Cung Pagoda in Sa Dec City, a recognized national historical and cultural monument. Built by the Fujianese Chinese community, the pagoda exemplifies traditional Chinese architectural styles, especially in wood and stone carving, ceramic inlay, and mural painting. Beyond being a sacred site, it serves as a center for moral education and cultural activity. The study explores the spatial layout, structural design, decorative systems, and the aesthetic-spiritual significance that the temple contributes to Vietnam’s traditional architectural heritage.
