Intense heat, people in the midlands of Nghe An flock to Lam River to 'cool off'
(Baonghean.vn) - On these hot days, along the Lam River, many local people come to bathe and cool off.
 |
| In the hot afternoons, people from districts along the Lam River such as Anh Son, Do Luong, Thanh Chuong, etc. flock to the river to cool off. This season, the Lam River is relatively shallow; when bathing, people often choose flat riverbanks for safety.

 |
| Many people who go swimming in the river bring drinks to enjoy while bathing and sipping. The riverbank in the late afternoon is unusually crowded and bustling. However, along these stretches of the river, there are no signs warning of dangerous limits, nor is there a place to collect garbage, so the risk of environmental pollution as well as the danger of drowning can occur. |
 |
| Most of the people who participated in the river bathing were adults and knew how to swim, but there were also many women and children who were mischievous. |
 |
| Many children go swimming in the river without life jackets and without adult supervision. |
 |
Observations at Lam River wharfs show that very few people who go swimming in the river bring life jackets or life buoys to prevent drowning. It seems that only a few children wear life jackets carefully. |
 |
| Swimming in the river is also an opportunity for many people to learn to swim, especially children. In the photo: A woman is teaching her child to swim on the Lam River. However, this child was not equipped with a life jacket even though he did not know how to swim. |
