Hue during the severe heat caused all outdoor activities to become exhausted. The outside temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius, the road surface was burnt, the air in the tunnel was as if in the furnace.
From construction sites to sidewalks, in factories or along the roads, everywhere you can see images of people wearing sunscreen covers, wrapping scarves around their necks, carrying bottles of cool water to fight. The sweat kept coming out, seeping into the back of the shirt, flowing all over the face, but workers and laborers still had to struggle to make a living.
Recorded on Tran Hung Dao Street (in front of Dong Ba Market) at 12 noon, many motorbike taxi drivers and lottery ticket sellers took to hide under the trees for a few minutes, then continued working. The slight heat from the road makes the few moments of rest for workers become cramped and uncomfortable.
Everyone wants to take advantage of working early in the morning or late afternoon, limiting travel during peak sunshine. However, with the need to make a living, many people still stay on the road all day, only take a short break and continue.
To escape the sun, many people and workers in Hue have gone to parks and green spaces along the Huong River to mark and cool their backs.
Recorded in the area from Ben Me down to Nghinh Luong Dinh, there are nearly 30 hammocks hanging up, many people coming here sleeping, cooling down, drinking water... mostly workers.
