A tower of nine floors stands 39 meters beside the hall. From the top you can see part of the Tam giác sắt, the wartime ground around Bến Dược. The same yard holds a three-gate entrance, a stele house, and a garden. The temple covers 40,299.3 m².
Give the hall the same day as the tunnels at Bến Dược. The gate is 7:00–17:00, including Saturday, Sunday, and Tết. From 1 February 2026 a foreign visitor pays 35,000 đồng for the historical site and 100,000 đồng for the guide. The two lines stay separate. The ticket at the Bến Dược gate is the one that brings you to the hall.
