Currently, many areas in Dai Noi, Tu Duc Mausoleum, Minh Mang Mausoleum and some other locations are flooded and partially isolated. The Luong Dinh Nghen area in front of Hue Citadel was flooded about 0.5 m deep.
Some other famous tourist destinations such as Bao Vinh ancient town, lim wooden pedestrian bridge and Thanh Toan tiled bridge are also deeply flooded, making travel and sightseeing difficult.
In this situation, the Hue Monuments Conservation Center announced a temporary stop of welcoming visitors at all locations in the Hue Monuments Complex due to prolonged heavy rain causing floodwaters to rise, causing flooding on many roads and relic areas.
The attractions will reopen as soon as the weather is stable and the safety of tourists is ensured. During the suspension period, on-site forces were mobilized to inspect and handle areas at risk of landslides and flooding.
The Hue Department of Tourism has requested tourism businesses to proactively respond and ensure absolute safety for tourists. Reservoir, coastal and landslide-prone areas and tourist attractions are inspected and facilities are reinforced.
At the same time, temporarily suspend tours and entertainment activities at dangerous locations. Units arrange staff on duty 24/7.
At the urgent meeting on the morning of October 27, Chairman of Hue City People's Committee Phan Thien Dinh requested all levels and sectors to "increase proactiveness, absolutely do not be subjective" in the face of complicated developments of floods.
According to the 14:30 news from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, in the next 12 hours, flood water levels on rivers in Hue City will continue to rise rapidly. On the Huong River at Kim Long station, Vu Gia River at Ai Nghia station and Thu Bon River at Cau Lau station, the water level may exceed alert level 3 by 0.6 to 1.3 m.
Tourists are advised to monitor weather information and temporarily postpone travel to flooded areas during this time.
