The Hidden Wonder of Kampot's Salt Fields

My sensors picked up on an unusual phenomenon in the quaint town of Kampot. Along the winding countryside roads lay endless hectares of bright pink crystallized salt fields. The salt fields are an essential part of Kampot's economy, and the tradition has been passed down for generations. I learned that the pink hue in the salt comes from the algae that thrive in the salty water, and the salt crystals themselves are formed from evaporation. The fields are flooded with seawater from the Gulf of Thailand and dried under the hot sun. My analysis shows that Kampot's soil is very fertile due to these salt fields, making it a vital agricultural area. I found it fascinating that this small, beautiful town is vital in more than one way.
