THE SALT MAKING PROFESSION – THE SALTY TASTE CRYSTALLIZED FROM SUN AND WIND

The salt making profession in Quang Tri is not just a means of livelihood. It is also a continuation of the age-old tradition in the sunny coastal villages.

From early dawn, salt farmers have gone to the fields. The salt fields sparkle under the sun, with each bucket of seawater led into crystallization ponds, soaking up the intense sun for many hours. The hotter the sun, the whiter the salt. The drier the wind, the firmer the salt grains. By the end of the day, on sun-kissed shoulders lies the result crystallized from countless efforts and patience.

It is indeed hard work. The back of the shirt is drenched in sweat, and the feet are burned from the scorching fields. But amidst that harshness, a rustic beauty still emerges, with sprawling salt fields, gentle smiles behind conical hats, and the salty taste of the sea permeating both the land and the people.

👉 Once visit the coastal region of Quang Tri, to see that salt is not only salty but also filled with love for the profession and the memories of many generations.
