On this occasion, the People's Committee of Quốc Oai District also organised the Culture, Tourism and Trade Promotion Week of Quốc Oai District in 2024. In the Thầy Pagoda area, the Organising Committee arranged 150 booths to introduce and promote cultural products, cuisine, craft products and OCOP products.

In addition, the committee also organises art performances, sports, experiential entertainment, folk games, wrestling, culinary events and viewing of real-life performances named "Northern quintessence".

Thầy Pagoda was built more than 1,000 years ago, having gone through historical changes and several restorations and embellishments, the pagoda still retains its unique artistic architecture with a typical system of statues.

Thầy Pagoda is also a landscape and a tourist attraction. The pagoda still preserves many precious antiques, such as the lotus stone pedestal of the Lý Dynasty, the back of the throne of the 16th century, the incense altar of the Lê Dynasty, the bronze bell of the Tây Sơn period, Buddha statues and others.
