In Truong Sa, all the green vegetable gardens with all kinds of vegetables, melons, gourds, and squash brought from the mainland are carefully covered to prevent wind, rain, and storms. The soil for growing vegetables is also carefully brought by the island soldiers from all the countrysides of the provinces and cities across the country. Vegetables grow lushly on the rocky islands and even on the highest floor of the DK1 drilling rig.
Below are some images taken by Dai Doan Ket Online reporters during their working trip to Sinh Ton, Co Lin, Nui Le B, Toc Tan C, Da Tay B islands, Truong Sa town and DK1 rig of Truong Sa in late April and early May.
