From the pristine white salt fields along the coast of Xuan Binh commune (Song Cau Town), the Tuyet Diem salt-making village - with a history of over 300 years is gradually being revived through a shift toward community-based tourism. Today, each grain of Tuyet Diem salt carries with it a story of resilient labor culture, closely intertwined with the coastal identity of Phu Yen.
In the capital city of Hanoi, within the ambiance of the Old Quarter, rustic yet delicate images depicting the crystallization process of salt and the distinctive products of Tuyet Diem were exhibited and widely introduced for the first time. This event not only promoted a local specialty, but also affirmed a new direction: transforming the Tuyet Diem salt-making craft into a highlight of community-based tourism programs in Phu Yen.
Amid the Tuyet Diem salt exhibition space at 28 Hang Buom in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, there was a particularly special guest - a man who had visited multiple times to learn about the salt-making craft and Tuyet Diem’s signature products. He penned a few heartfelt lines of introduction, signed with the familiar pseudonym affectionately recognized by the public: Xich Lo. That man is none other than Vice Chairman of the National Assembly, Le Minh Hoan.
