If you have the opportunity to visit the Bach Long salt field in Nam Dinh, you will witness the white image from the large salt fields, besides the players are passionately working hard. These are also the characteristics that have created a separate attraction for this place and attracts a lot of people to visit. Bach Long salt field is located in Bach Long commune, Giao Thuy district, Nam Dinh province. Bach Long commune is one of the largest salt fields in the North with an area of up to 230ha. Since ancient times, this place was a land built by the beach, then people from every region came to live, establishing the village before even the French colonialists invaded. To this day, salt making has officially become a traditional profession of the people in Bach Long commune with more than 1,000 households participating. Because the natural location is located in the coast, this place cannot grow rice, and has the strength of a rich source of salt water, so the salt making becomes extremely developed. Bach Long salt fields are also in the top of the most beautiful salt fields in the North, so many tourists want to visit. To choose the favorable time to visit the Bach Long salt field, it will certainly be from March until the end of August each year, because this is the salt making season of the people here. Coming here on these days, you will witness the fiery sun and the enthusiastic images of the matches, the reason is because the bigger the sunshine, the faster the salt crystallizes and makes the people's harvest more convenient. To make pure white salt seeds is not simple at all, but it must be a strange process. Right from the early morning, many matches had to be present in the field of White Dragon salt and often ended the work when it was late. The way to make salt here is also very special, instead of making salt by the steam method like the South or the Central, the salt in the North is made by the method of drying on the sand. In many other salt fields, the matches just need to scoop the sea and dry, but with the white dragon fruits will need one more step to dry and filter the sand. The reason is that Giao Thuy sea is located near the river mouth, so the salinity concentration is low, so it is necessary to dry the sand and filter sand to increase the salinity concentration. First at 6 am, the match will start soaking sand with sea water, making soil. In the field, there will be rectangular plots to smooth the surface, pour the sand to absorb water, sometimes adding seawater to increase salinity. When the sun rises and after many hours, the sea will evaporate and the salt will crystallize on the sand surface. Continuing the sea water will be led from the sea to filter the sand through the sand and then flow into the child, through the system. The matches will now take the gourd water from the mainstream and pour it on the drying yard with cement like the chessboard boxes. Small umbrellas are 2 elected, large umbrellas 3-4. At this time, the match will take advantage of rest and return to work at 1 pm. This is also the time when the sand has been dried, each grain has crystallized into small white salt seeds. The salt population will collect salt into beds, scooped on a wheelbarrier and pushed them to the warehouse. Salt will be preserved and wait for traders to buy. It is true that we have to go to witness, we can feel all the difficulties and hardships of salt making. If you have the opportunity to travel to Nam Dinh, do not forget to visit the field of Bach Long salt to experience the salt making process of the people here.

As a child, Quang Phuc studied very hard and was proficient in literature and martial arts. At the age of seventeen, his parents passed away. He followed famous general Ly Bon to defeat the invaders of the Luong Dynasty and win independence for the country. In 544, Ly Bon ascended the throne, proclaimed himself Ly Nam De, and settled the capital in Long Bien. Not long after, the Luong Dynasty sent Tran Ba Tien and Duong San to invade our country; Ly Nam De lost the battle and fled to Khuat Lieu cave, handing over military power to Trieu Quang Phuc. In 547, Trieu Quang Phuc retreated to Da Trach swamp (now Khoai Chau region, Hung Yen), a large swamp area with luxuriant reeds; He ordered his army to set up a barracks on a mound in the middle of the lagoon, and used dugout boats to snipe every day, causing the Luong army to lose a lot of troops and become extremely confused. Gradually, our army won a great victory and wiped out the Liang army from the territory. After defeating the enemy in 548, Trieu Quang Phuc ascended the throne, calling himself Trieu Viet Vuong, with the capital in Long Bien. In 570, he was ambushed by Ly Phat Tu - who had the same surname as Ly Nam De - and had to retreat, then drowned at Dai Nha estuary on August 14. Legend has it that when fleeing, Trieu Viet Vuong stopped at Cam Nang village to set up a barracks but was still pursued and had to flee to Dai Nha seaport (now in Doc Bo village, Yen Nhan commune, Y Yen district).

After Trieu Viet Vuong passed away, to commemorate his great contributions, the people of Cam village Nang built a temple right on the land where he stopped. His temple is on a large scale, with many solemn and splendid sacrificial offerings. Through many feudal dynasties, Ba village temples were all ordained to serve. Right next to the temple of King Trieu Viet Vuong, there are two temples worshiping mandarins Doan Tuong Cong and Doan Cong Thuong. These are two people who lived in the 18th century, belonging to the Doan family in Cam Nang. During their lifetime, the two of them took on many important responsibilities at the Royal Court. Among them, Doan Cong Thuong, also known as Doan Cong Thuong, was promoted to the position of General Eunuch, in charge of the admiral of the Cong District under the reign of King Le Du Tong (1740-1786). To their homeland, the two men left behind many contributions. Therefore, the mausoleum as well as the temple of the two men are preserved, incense, and revered by the village people as the village's blessings. Source: Nam Truc District People's Committee
