Each frame and image, the beauty of the sea, the islands, and the contributions of soldiers are conveyed in a close, simple manner that is full of artistic and emotional quality.

Nguyen Viet Hung, Director of the Vietnam Youth Museum, shared: “In the past, the Vietnam Youth Museum and the Youth Club for Homeland Sea and Islands held dozens of travelling exhibitions each year on borders and islands across all regions of the country. In 2021, due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the exhibition will take place online on the occasion of the 77th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People's Army (December 22, 1944 - December 22, 2021). This is a practical activity to contribute to the propagation and education of patriotism and national pride, which is suitable to the context and trend of information technology application in all aspects of social life.
On this occasion, the organising board also launched many meaningful programmes such as calling for social resources to contribute to giving Tet gifts for the navy and border guards on duty at sea, on islands and on land.
The online photo exhibition will run until the end of January 31, 2022, at the following addresses:
