Up to now, there have been 30 ranked relics with 13 national ones in Can Tho.

The interior of Hiep Thien Cung

Hiep Thien Cung was built in late 19th, early 20th century. It was a small temple at the beginning and has been a spacious one as today. Currently, Hiep Thien Cung has a structure like the image of  a Chinese word meaning “Quoc” in Vietnamese with 4 halls closed at right angles to each other and a skylight in the centre. The main hall was used to worship Quan Thanh De Quan, the right was for Phuc Duc Chinh Than and the left was for Thien Hau Thanh Mau. Hiep Thien Cung’s architecture identities the Chinese features in the south of Vietnam. Especially, it still keeps many horizontal lacquered boards carved skillfully.

Also, Hai Van Quan (a historical and artistic architectural relic in Thua Thien Hue province and Da Nang city) and Quynh Van (an archaeological site in Nghe An province) have been ranked the national relics at this time.
