Of note, the exhibition introduced official documents of the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945)  regarding Vietnam’s exploitation, management, establishment and exercise of its sovereignty over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa.

Apart from documents and publications compiled by western countries in the 18th and 19th  centuries certifying that Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos belong to Vietnam, the exhibition features four atlas published by China’s Qing Dynasty and the Chinese government from 1908 to 1933 defining Hainan island as China’s southernmost point.
