 |
| These days, at around 5:30 p.m., when the sun has just set, hundreds of people from Ben Thuy ward, Vinh city and neighboring areas flock to the Lam river embankment to cool off. |
 |
| The area where people bathe the most is the river wharf adjacent to the Lam River road, about 500 meters from Ben Thuy port. |
 |
| Most people who go swimming in the river wear life jackets to ensure safety. |
 |
The water level along the dike is not too deep, the water flow is calm so it is chosen by many parents to teach their children to swim. |
 |
| Children are bathed and played under the protection of adults. |
 |
| Besides those who are vigilant and pay attention to safety, there are still many people who take their lives lightly. Along the dike, although there are signs warning of deep water, there are still many people who ignore the danger and swim far from shore. |
 |
| These were young people who loved fun and were reckless. They divided into groups of 4-5 people and risked swimming across the river; meanwhile, this part of the river occasionally had boats passing through Ben Thuy port. |
