(HBO) - An Bang, named the "beautiful girl”, is the most difficult to reach among the islands of Truong Sa Islands. As the island is full of violent waves all year round. The big boats cannot land, people have to use the small canoe to "swim” on the waves which are several meters high to get into the island. Landing in An Bang is not for those who suffer from the heart disease. During the business trip just before the spring of Rat, 2020, we were lucky enough to set foot on the islands and record the images of the harsh but extremely beautiful floating islands.
An Bang is a floating island, located in the southeast of
Truong Sa Islands.

These days, offices, all roads, and residential areas in Hoa Binh province are decorated with flags, flowers, banners, hoardings, and bright slogans to welcome National Day on September 2. Below are some images captured by Hoa Binh Newspaper reporters in Hoa Binh City and some districts in the province.
Over the past three decades, Cao Phong town has leveraged its spirit of unity, dynamism, and creativity to utilise opportunities and overcome challenges, leaving significant milestones in economic and social development. The town has made substantial progress in various sectors while maintaining national defence and security.
Since the passing of Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on July 19, offices and private houses in Hoa Binh city have flown flags half-mast to commemorate the Party chief.
After 30 years since its establishment (August 1st, 1994 - August 1st, 2024), Cao Phong town has made significant progress, from a mountainous agricultural town facing many difficulties to becoming the political, economic and social center of the district, aiming to build a civilized, modern urban area, which is rich in the cultural identity.
In his 14 years as the leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong visited Hoa Binh province three times. Each locality, unit, and enterprise visited by the General Secretary, and every household and wounded soldier kindly encouraged and given gifts by the late leader always remember and deeply keep in their mind the feelings of their beloved leader.
