Behold the mesmerizing salt garden - a rare and primitive industry that thrives in this quaint village. As if plucked from a bygone era, women diligently tend to clam shells brimming with sea water, as they harness nature's magic to produce one of life's essential ingredients. With each passing day, these industrious ladies sprinkle their salty touch upon the shells, allowing the sun's gentle caress to transform them into precious crystals of pure salt. This traditional method of farming has been passed down through generations and remains at the heart of this island community. As we marvel at this unusual spectacle, it becomes clear that here lies an untapped treasure trove hidden within Asia's vast archipelago. The delicate balance between tradition and innovation is palpable in every shell-filled corner of this serene village. So come along and immerse yourself in Damar Island's enchanting world!
