A 1.5-2 hectare Hoang Sa monument site will be built on Ly Son island in Quang Ngai Province, reported the Nhan dan (People) daily.

The monument is scheduled to be built uphill from the Hang pagoda with all cost covered through community resources.

It is intended to become a public park, contributing to raising local community awareness of Viet Nam ’s sovereignty over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago.
