The weather has been much more favorable this year than in previous years. Although it was late October, sunny and warm days were still lingering. Taking advantage of calm seas, fishermen in coastal communes such as the former Phu Dien, Vinh Thanh, and Vinh Xuan communes, now part of Phu Vinh Commune, have been heading out to sea to catch seafood and earn extra income. Although the catch is not as abundant as during the main fishing season, the ‘bounty of the sea’ is still enough to provide them with hearty meals.

As Phu Dien Tower, a National-level Architectural and Artistic Relic, faces growing challenges from climate change and natural disasters, experts have proposed a number of conservation measures, including studying options to raise the entire tower structure or foundation, and installing pumping and drainage systems.

The fields in Nghia Lo, Nam Phu - Nho Lam, and Bac Vong Tay, etc., have long been considered the “peanut capital” of the low-lying Dan Dien.
