At a closing ceremony, the organizers presented 6 large photos to 6 local schools, a photo of the emerald Buddha statue in the Big Truong Sa pagoda to Nha Trang city’s Van Duc pagoda, and 2 photos of Nha Trang’s landscape to Truong Sa island district. Ngoc said: "Photos of Truong Sa archipelago will be displayed where students can easily access them. I hope these images will encourage the younger generation to follow their ancestors in defending Truong Sa and Hoang Sa archipelagos".

The provincial Literature and Arts Association and the Journalists Association will continue the mobile Truong Sa archipelago gallery locally.
