Salt farmers must perform many steps to harvest salt. First, water enters the field. After water enters the field, it must be pushed back into the field without letting the water dry. After this process, small salt particles gradually crystallize and sparkle white under the strong sunlight.

At this time, farmers began using rakes to harvest salt. Each small pile of salt in the field is then filled into a wicker basket weighing about 10 kilograms (10 lb) and each basket is placed on a stick and carried to the meeting place. Weather plays a very important role in Honkoi's salt manufacturing industry. This is because the clearer the weather, the more salt is harvested. Unfortunately, when it rains or there is a sudden thunderstorm, salt farmers are unable to harvest anything. Therefore, this process is only carried out during the hottest 5-6 months of the year.

With spectacular views of the salt mountains, workers moving heavy baskets over the fields and a pagoda perched atop a nearby hill, these Nha Trang salt fields are a popular photo location. The bright yellow sun shines on the pure white salt field and sparkling water, and each small salt particle stands out and sparkles beautifully like a small pearl.
