    Despite the eye-catching results, Mr. Dung said he still had many regrets after taking the photo series: “Due to the difficulty in traveling, there are still many beautiful scenes that I have not recorded. Hopefully in the future I will have the opportunity to come back here many more times, going deeper into the small canals to record the life, people, and beautiful landscapes of the West.”
