After its long sea route, ship HQ 571 anchored on Truong Sa Dong Island which belongs to Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelago at sunrise. The sunrise makes the island more sparkling and fanciful. The island is home to soldiers who faithfully protect each meter of sea and land generated from their ancestors.
