For a long time, from 1964 to 1996, people moved their worship items to Tay Vi Pagoda temporarily, and the rituals of worshiping Thanh Hoang were also interrupted. In 1996, people together restored Tay Vi peak as it is today to worship Thanh Hoang, and in 2022, the two left and right houses were restored to serve as places to prepare for festivals and receive guests...
