Hai Ly church is a testament to the sea encroachment here. According to historical records, in 1996, the sea began to invade inland for more than 1 km, making the village stretching along Xuong Dien beach disappeared. Some large structures on the sea, such as the church, were knocked down by waves. But only the church of St. Maria Madalena is still there without being knocked down by the waves but it is not as intact as before.
On the way back, the group visited the salt fields and saw how the white salt grains were granulated under the hands and labor of the coastal people.
