dưa 4 — The plump, main-season melon is considered a “cooling” fruit on hot summer days. With a weight of 3 fruits/kg, each sao of melon yields nearly 400 kg, bringing in a considerable income for people in the colored areas. Photo: TP

dưa 2 — Carrying melons from the fields to shore in the heat of over 39 degrees Celsius is hard work, but people are still full of enthusiasm because melons have a good harvest and good prices. Photo: TP

dưa 3 — The crisp smiles of the melon growers under the sun seem to reflect a season of hard work. This year’s melons not only have a “good harvest and good price” but also add motivation for the next successful crop. Photo: TP
