The author of the exhibition - journalist Nguyen Quoc Hung said that when he set foot on Truong Sa, he was filled with pride and emotion. To convey the richly diverse landscape, he tried to capture as many images as possible through his lens. Then, from the obtained documents, he made them into documentary films and selected 97 photos for the exhibition.

Major Pham Thanh Binh, officer of the Air Defense - Air Force, expressed his emotion when seeing images of life on the island vividly shown at the exhibition. Although he has stationed for 6 years in Truong Sa, he has not been to all the islands, therefore, through reportage and some photos at the exhibition, he himself also gained more knowledge about other places and islands.

The exhibition will last until January 16.
