Da Nang city is known as a young, dynamic city that is endowed with many beautiful natural landscapes by nature. If you have the opportunity to come here, you will be impressed with the white sand beaches. Da Nang has many beautiful beaches and is more than 60km long, Da Nang beach was voted by Forbes magazine of the US as one of the six most attractive beaches in the world, it also offers a variety of sea services such as kayaking, water bowling, paragliding, windsurfing, boating, scuba diving, and coral viewing. Located next to the long beach is the road named Hoang Sa, do you know why along the sea route of Da Nang city, there are roads named Hoang Sa and Truong Sa roads, located between the two roads. This is the road named after the first army general of Vietnam, that is the road, Vo Nguyen Giap. The arrangement of the names of these roads on a road may indicate that the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes belong to Vietnam. Vietnam is a freedom-loving country that wants to live peacefully in the region. In the face of the aggressiveness and hostility of these two archipelagos, towards China. Then the Vietnamese people will be determined to protect the territorial integrity and want to live in peace with all countries in the region. Along the Hoang Sa sea road in Tho Quang ward, there is a museum called Hoang Sa museum, this is one of the rare museums that preserve historical values, along with evidence of Vietnam's sovereignty over the sea and islands.

As you know, the Hoang Sa archipelago is one of two offshore archipelagos that have been under Vietnam's sovereignty for a long time. Historically, the Hoang Sa archipelago is also known as "Golden Sand Beach". The international name that often appears on charts is Paracels. The Hoang Sa archipelago consists of 37 large and small islands, with many reefs and shoals. Currently, Hoang Sa archipelago belongs to Hoang Sa district, under the management of Da Nang city. Facing the risk of depletion of resources on land, sea, and ocean are now considered as the last food, food, energy, and fuel reserves of mankind. The East Sea is a sea rich in natural resources but also contains many conflicts of interest related to maritime sovereignty disputes, where there are always complicated developments and long-standing disputes in history. Hoang Sa Museum, also known as Hoang Sa gallery, is a place to maintain important historical and cultural values, the sacred meaning of the country. The museum is located opposite Tho Quang beach, this is the old Nam Tho fishing village of Da Nang city. People can see that the boats of Tho Quang fishing wharf are very crowded here, the boats are neatly lined up in Tho Quang beach, damaged timbers are brought ashore for repair. If you go here early in the morning, you can catch the bustle of the fishing wharf here. Today I used my drone to capture the entire coastline of Da Nang city, today there is a lot of sunshine. But because there were heavy rains last night, the air was very foggy, so the photo was not good. In today's post, let's explore what's inside of this museum.

Hoang Sa Museum was established in August 2017. The museum is located at Hoang Sa sea road, in Tho Quang Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang City. Currently, the museum displays more than 300 documents, artifacts, maps, and pictures. Reflecting the historical process from the time when the Nguyen lords discovered and established sovereignty to the present day. This place is also a meeting place for locals and tourists from all over the world, especially the young generation who come here to learn, explore and feel the sacred territory of Vietnam. In front of the museum is Da Nang beach, in front of the house are bricks built in the shape of the Vietnamese flag. The opening time of the museum is from 8 am to 5 pm on the same day, admission is completely free. The right side of the museum is displaying a rather large wooden boat, this boat on the left side of the screen has a rather large hole. I don't know what this boat means, inside I will know why there is a boat in front of the museum here. Inside the museum will include 3 different floors, each floor will have a different theme. The display content is divided into 5 themes, including Geographical location and natural conditions of the Paracel Islands. Evidence of Vietnam's sovereignty over the Paracels under the Nguyen kings in the 17th and 18th centuries, all the evidence proving the Paracels is contained in the Vietnamese Bibliography of the Nguyen Dynasty. Evidence of Vietnam's sovereignty over the Paracels in 1945-1975 and evidence for the period 1974 to present. Visitors can admire the artifacts displayed from the 1st to the 3rd floor through the dynamic and static document system. In addition, documents and artifacts are integrated with multimedia such as videos on automatic explanation screens, combined with a map system, giving an overview of Hoang Sa, geography, nature, and administration. of the Hoang Sa archipelago. The main hall is the place to display the painting works of primary school students, in the homeland sea and island contest, behind the works is the Stele of Sovereignty of the Paracels of Vietnam, the stele is located in the middle of the exhibition space. On a display of the museum, this stele is about 10m high. The Hoang Sa landmark stele was erected by the French in 1938. This sovereignty stele affirms Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa archipelago.

On the first floor of the museum, there is a model of the Hoang Sa Torch, meaning that the Hoang Sa Flame will always ignite the will to fight to protect the sovereignty of the Vietnamese nation, along with a photo of a map of Vietnam, representing Vietnam's sovereignty over the claimed Hoang Sa archipelago. The second floor is also the management room of the staff working at the Museum, where there is a display of models of typical fish of the Hoang Sa archipelago, next to the stairs leading to the 3rd floor of the museum. On the 2nd floor, there is an exhibition introducing Hoang Sa through projection screens, documentary images about the process of establishing the sovereignty of Hoang Sa islands and continuously being administratively managed by Vietnam, since the Nguyen Dynasty. to the Republic of Vietnam. The material is divided into 5 different topics, along with the history of the formation process, geographical position, sovereignty of the Paracels, in legal documents and maps circulating at home and abroad, including the original version. The map is made by the Chinese government, in the ancient map of China, the Paracels do not belong to the territory of this country. This are historical shreds of evidence that Hoang Sa has been the territory of Vietnam since the 17th century. These papers have been dated for hundreds of years and have been carefully preserved until today. In addition, the activities of management and enforcement of Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos are boldly and specifically expressed in the manuscripts of the Nguyen court. These are administrative documents. The official documents of the Nguyen court, with the ratifications of the Emperors and the seals of the Nguyen court authorities, this is the supreme legal document of a country under a centralized monarchy. central. Therefore, it has solid historical and legal value, about Vietnam's sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.

The third floor of the Hoang Sa museum is the evidence and witnesses of the 20th century, from 1974 to today. The third-floor exhibition area is also a place to display marine resources and Hoang Sa islands, displaying biodiversity, natural resources, and scientific records and values ​​of Vietnam's marine economy on the archipelago. Hoang Sa of Vietnam. The Hoang Sa seabed is a rare coral reef, one of the biodiversity ecosystems with thousands of species of animals and plants belonging to many different groups. There are many portraits on the photo, which are historical witnesses of the Paracel Islands. During the naval war in the Paracel Islands in 1974, between China and Vietnam, in which Vietnam lost the battle and was occupied by the Chinese forces on the rocks and islets of the Paracel archipelago, These are the living witnesses of the 1974 naval war. Since the Chinese occupation, they have built military airfields, increasing instability in the region. The culmination is the cases of military ships hitting the fishing boats of Vietnamese fishermen, outside the museum campus there is a display of a boat that was rammed by a Chinese ship, this fishing boat is owned by Ms. Huynh. Thi Nhu Hoa, her ship was sunk by a Chinese ship in 2014. While fishing in the territorial waters of Vietnam's sovereign waters, an unknown Chinese vessel rammed the fishing boat. her fish, leaving all the fishermen on the boat floating at sea. Fortunately, there were other fishing boats nearby, which promptly rescued the sailors on board in distress. This is also a famous boat when it was salvaged by Da Nang city and brought back to Da Nang waters. After that event, there were many international lawsuits, about Chinese ships blatantly entering Vietnamese waters and sinking many Vietnamese fishermen's boats. In the past, my family was also a fisherman in the East Sea, from my grandfather's time to my father's time, all made a living by fishing. But since 2008, when China blatantly used force, Vietnamese fishermen lost their fishing grounds, leading to everyone starting to give up their traditional fishing for generations.

It can be seen that this museum is not a place to store the works of art that I have written about in previous articles, but this museum is the place to save valuable evidence of history, in the article. Writing today I want to send a message to everyone, Vietnamese people always want to live in peace. With love for the country, I want to share it with international friends in today's post. Thank you everyone for reading the article, wish everyone a new week full of luck and joy in life, see you in the next posts.
