According to VietNamNet reporters on the afternoon of May 21, due to the hot weather, thousands of people, mostly young people, came to have fun and cool off at the water park in Tay Ho district.
People enjoy the cool water in the hot summer.
Young people enjoy playing happily in the water.
The later the afternoon, the more crowded the water park.
Many families take advantage of the weekend to bring their children here to cool off.
West Lake has long been a popular destination for Hanoians during the hottest times of the year. Many people choose the not-so-deep lake to cool off.
Concerned about the safety of people swimming in West Lake, authorities have put up signs prohibiting swimming and fenced off the area around the lake.
West Lake is also a favorite place for young people to enjoy the late afternoon breeze.
At the Cao Trung village pond area (Duc Giang commune, Hoai Duc district), every day hundreds of people come here to swim and cool off after a hot, humid day.
The village pond here has been converted into a free "swimming pool" for the people. In addition to children, there are also middle-aged and elderly people who come here to cool off.
The local government has placed many warning signs around the pond in Cao Trung village to alert people. However, some people still swim towards the very deep pond, posing a potential safety risk.
