Sa Huynh salt field

Wearing endless beauty over time, Sa Huynh salt fields are a place for visitors to see the stretching salt fields, the beautiful white colors and feel the essence of the folk craft villages here. Located in Pho Thach commune, Duc Pho district, Quang Ngai, this is not only a salt field with more than 100 years of history, but also symbolizes the connection with the heritage and culture of this land. With more than 600 households and an annual salt output of 8,000 to 9,000 tons, Sa Huynh salt field is not only an important source of salt but also represents the spirit of traditional craft villages, blending with famous craft villages. Others like Hon Khoi and Ca Na are located along the Central region. Since the 19th century, Sa Huynh salt fields have witnessed more than 100 years of preserving tradition. However, salt making in Sa Huynh was not always known as a beautiful landscape. In the past, this place has gone through many ups and downs, from the "bitter salt village" when the effort put in did not achieve results, to the value of salt not being expected and the lack of local brands. But since the day the Intellectual Property Department issued the certificate of "Sa Huynh Salt" in 2011, everything has changed. Salt makers do not hesitate to invest and apply new production models, with Sa Huynh salt making on tarpaulin or cement floors. The results have shown an improvement in quality, with sand impurities reduced by up to 95%, output significantly increased and salt value increased by 20 - 30%. In particular, this new method helps shorten production time and change the landscape of the salt fields. To do this, 6 dikes with a total length of more than 5km were built, paving the way for the development and improvement of the salt fields. This proves the enthusiasm and will for progress of Sa Huynh salt makers, as they constantly learn and share knowledge, building a bright future for Sa Huynh salt grains. With more than 120 hectares of area, Sa Huynh salt fields are like a brilliant carpet, each small field interwoven with each other, understanding the delicate interaction between sunlight and sea water. The concrete and silver foil create a unique reflection of color, turning this beautiful scene into a field that sparkles like diamonds and attracts all eyes. White salt dunes spread evenly across the fields, like embodiments of mountain and forest nature. When the sparkling golden sunlight combines with the farmer's bamboo burden, the painting blends yellow and white to create a captivatingly beautiful scene, blending simplicity and charm, like a mysterious portrait. . When you enter the salt field, this is not only a famous Quang Ngai tourist destination, but also an interesting work of natural art from the hands of farmers. Right from 5 a.m., local farmers gathered to start an enthusiastic working day. They arranged seawater from canals and ditches into the bladder, then sprinkled bait salt and waited for the sunlight to crystallize the salt. Salt making in Sa Huynh requires 3 sun exposure to achieve white and large salt grains. This is an elaborate process, performed under intense sunlight, to create unique and delicious quality salt. In addition to the salt making experience, you also have the opportunity to see unique homemade motorbikes here. These carts, although old, have been converted to carry salt instead of being used for carrying loads. This has improved people's lives and created a sense of fun. If you have the opportunity, please shop and support these pure grains of salt, to see the care and love that people put into each grain of salt.
