Lam Dong: Bustling to welcome "sea blessings" in the south wind season

Every day, from around 12 noon to 4 pm, the coastal clam ports of Phan Ri Cua commune (Lam Dong province) are crowded with people and vehicles welcoming "sea luck" to go everywhere.

At this time, the coastal area of ​​Lam Dong province is in the season of southern fish (from April to September of the lunar calendar). However, due to unfavorable weather and strong winds at sea, many boats are staying ashore and not going out to sea. Some boats operate near the shore every day, exploiting clams and snails. Due to strong winds at sea, the output is not much, so the selling price has increased by an average of 20,000 - 30,000 VND/kg compared to about a week before. Some images recorded by reporters at the clam wharf in Phan Ri Cua commune, Lam Dong province these days:
