(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.
