This modern pagoda, known as the Temple of the Buddha's Relic, is located in District 3 at the intersection of Ba Huyen Thanh Quan Street and was opened in 1958 to pay tribute to the Great Buddha (referred to as Xa Loi by the locals). The pagoda's design includes a chapel, bell tower, amphitheatre, library, and lodging for monks and tourists. The Xa Loi Pagoda was also the scene of a number of sacrifice-based monk protests against the Diem dictatorship and the American War.
