To date, the road and landscape behind Kiep Bac temple have been renovated spaciously, cleanly, and beautifully.
The Relic Management Unit built embankments by the road, about 100 m long, to the yard behind the temple and planted 28 posts of bougainvillea on both sides of the road, below which are portulaca grandiflora, tradescantia spathacea, etc.
In the yard covering more than 10,000 ha behind Kiep Bac temple are trees and base stones laid to form a spacious and airy parking.
The highlight of the precinct is a semicircular flower garden covering more than 1,000 m2 with 86 sago palms.
The work was done in November 2018.
