Chan Tien Pagoda (Chan Tien Tu) is located on the top of Tien An Mountain, one of the 99 mountains of the Hong Linh range, in Yen Diem village, Thinh Loc commune, Thach Ha. Chan Tien Pagoda dates back to the Tran Dynasty and was ranked as a national historical and cultural relic and scenic spot by the Ministry of Culture in 1992.

The pagoda was also a place to hide documents, shelter cadres and hold meetings of the Yen Diem Party cell, now the Thinh Loc Commune Party Committee (April 25, 1930).
