This triple-arch gate is a structure composed of seven-roof layers covered with green enamel tube-tiles. These roofs with gently curved corners overlap each other.

Also called Kim Son Pagoda, Phuoc Kien Assembly Hall was built in 1692 by Chinese merchants. Because it was used for worship as well as for meetings by the Chinese from Phuoc Kien Province, this construction is now called the Phuoc Kien Assembly Hall.

The main temple is dedicated to Thien Hau, goddess of the sea. The Phuoc Kien ancestors and the God of Prosperity are worshipped in the sanctuary behind the main one.
