Relief made from 300kg of salt "going out to sea to welcome the dawn" in Bac Lieu

The unique relief painting is made from 300kg of salt, covering an area of ​​over 100m2, serving tourists at the Vietnam Salt Festival - Bac Lieu in 2025.

Mr. An shared: "At Hung Vuong Square, there is a zither made of salt that is loved by the people. From that spirit, I thought of making a salt relief painting right on the salt field for people and tourists to see near their cars when they come to the place to experience the salt making model.

Visitors can witness a real picture of salt, so that they can have a deeper insight into the salt making profession in their homeland Bac Lieu.
