Salt
farmers have to go work from the early morning and manage to finish their
work as soon as possible in order to avoid the burning sunlight in the field
Men
undertake hard work, including foraging and collecting sea salt.
Meanwhile,
women load sea salt into bamboo baskets to be carried to the drying place.
Despite
the hard work, the field is filled with joy and laughter.
The
weather plays an enormous role in the making of sea salt. The sunnier it is,
the more bountiful the crop will be. If it is raining, all of the farmers’
efforts would be worthless
Sea
salt crop in Hon Koi often takes place in the sunny season, from March to
September.

These days, offices, all roads, and residential areas in Hoa Binh province are decorated with flags, flowers, banners, hoardings, and bright slogans to welcome National Day on September 2. Below are some images captured by Hoa Binh Newspaper reporters in Hoa Binh City and some districts in the province.
Over the past three decades, Cao Phong town has leveraged its spirit of unity, dynamism, and creativity to utilise opportunities and overcome challenges, leaving significant milestones in economic and social development. The town has made substantial progress in various sectors while maintaining national defence and security.
Since the passing of Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on July 19, offices and private houses in Hoa Binh city have flown flags half-mast to commemorate the Party chief.
After 30 years since its establishment (August 1st, 1994 - August 1st, 2024), Cao Phong town has made significant progress, from a mountainous agricultural town facing many difficulties to becoming the political, economic and social center of the district, aiming to build a civilized, modern urban area, which is rich in the cultural identity.
In his 14 years as the leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong visited Hoa Binh province three times. Each locality, unit, and enterprise visited by the General Secretary, and every household and wounded soldier kindly encouraged and given gifts by the late leader always remember and deeply keep in their mind the feelings of their beloved leader.
