On normal days, sidewalk iced tea and sugarcane shops in Hanoi are often very popular because they are cheap and easy to find. On any street, there will be at least a few shops.
But recently, during the day, many shops are deserted, even though there are many offices, companies and residential areas around. The reason is that the weather is too hot. Therefore, even though they have put up tarps to cover the shade, they still cannot attract customers.
Sugarcane juice and coconut juice shops with many advertising signs to attract customers to cool off but business is slow.
Many tea shops are equipped with hand fans to help customers cool down on hot days.
Ms. Quyen, the owner of a tea shop on Trang Tien Street, said: "In previous years, this time was still crowded with customers, but this year, perhaps because the weather is more intense, the number of customers has decreased significantly. With the hot weather, they only need to spend 20,000 to 30,000 to drink a cup of coffee in a cool, air-conditioned room, so there are fewer customers drinking iced tea than usual."
Many shops are carefully shaded but still have few customers.
Sad because of the lack of customers, the vendor took the opportunity to cool off with a hand fan and a wet towel over his head on a hot summer day.
