(Baonghean.vn) - Vinh City currently has over 12,000 green trees and ornamental plants, more than 55,000 m2 of border plants, and 72,000 m2 of grass and colorful foliage covering most of the city's streets.
The green space system not only creates environmental landscapes but also contributes to regulating the air, creating a fresh and cool atmosphere for urban areas. Therefore, to protect the city's "green lungs" during record-breaking heatwaves, with average temperatures reaching 39-40 degrees Celsius, workers of Vinh City Green Park Joint Stock Company have to change their working hours and implement many "special" measures to combat the heat and maintain humidity.
 |
| To avoid the heat, starting at 3:30 AM, the female workers of the green space team - Vinh City Green Park Joint Stock Company - began preparing to care for the flowerbeds in the Le Nin Street area. |
 |
| The plants are watered 15-20 times a day, starting at 4 am and ending at 11 pm. |
 |
| These days, Ms. Tran Thi Hong (from the flower team) also takes advantage of working from 5 am to avoid the sun and prevent the plants from drying out after pruning. |
 |
| This year, the weather is extremely hot, with temperatures higher than in previous years. Therefore, in addition to the 3 water tankers used regularly, Vinh City Green Park Joint Stock Company has had to deploy an extra 10m3 water tanker and add 20 more workers to the watering department… |
 |
The tanker trucks operate from 5 AM to 11 PM on several main routes in the city center, such as National Highway 1, Lenin Street, Lenin-Soviet Street, and the Lam River embankment. |
 |
| To ensure the trees grow healthily, the number of watering sessions by the water tanker has been increased to 3-5 times per day compared to previous summers. |

| The newly planted trees along Nguyen Sy Sach street are "dressed in sun protection" using materials such as burlap, coconut husks, and royal palm husks. |
 |
| In addition to using "heat-resistant coverings," water hyacinths and straw are also spread at the base of the trees to retain heat and moisture for longer. |
 |
| The emphasis on regular watering, along with various measures to care for and protect the trees by the workers of the Green Park Joint Stock Company, has contributed to cooling down Vinh City during days of harsh weather. |
