Hoi An people are busy "clearing mud wherever the water recedes" to welcome tourists.

Heavy rains lasting for many days caused the Hoai River to rise, flooding many walking streets in Hoi An ancient town such as Bach Dang, Nguyen Thai Hoc, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Le Loi, Hoang Van Thu... However, when the floodwaters gradually receded, mud was exposed, sticking thickly on the streets and shops in the ancient town. With the motto "where the water recedes, clean up there", Hoi An people joined hands with environmental sanitation workers to urgently clean up in time to welcome visitors.

The impact of prolonged heavy rain caused the water from the Hoai River to rise, flooding some walking streets in the old quarter. In the photo, Bach Dang Street, located next to the Hoai River, was flooded nearly 1 meter deep.

Taking advantage of the receding water, Mr. Tran Vinh Chi (owner of a fashion store in the old quarter) used water to spray away the mud in front of his house. “People here are used to floods. Every year there are several floods, sometimes up to 6-7 floods. Taking advantage of the receding flood water, we clean up to welcome guests back,” said Mr. Chi.

Souvenir shop owners on Nguyen Thai Hoc Street are busy cleaning up the streets to soon resume business and trade to serve domestic and foreign tourists.

A boy also joined his grandmother in cleaning up after the flood waters receded.

People use brooms to push mud into the Hoai River.

The floodwaters left behind a thick, mushy layer of mud covering the walking paths in the old town where the floodwaters passed.

Wherever the flood recedes, people in the old quarter roll up their pants and join hands to clean up mud and trash.

Souvenir shop staff on Hoang Van Thu street pushed the mud on the sidewalk down to the flooded section, with the intention of letting the water wash it away into the Hoai River.

Workers use water pumps to wash away the mud left behind after the flood receded.

Many restaurant staff took the opportunity to clean up and push away mud to welcome customers back.

Large capacity water pumps were mobilized by Hoi An Public Works Joint Stock Company to the scene to wash away mud and waste left behind after the flood waters receded.
