(Baonghean.vn) - Xop Mat village (Luong Minh commune) can be considered one of the hottest spots in the country, not only because it is located in the "Tuong Duong cauldron" but also due to other reasons.
During the summer, Xiangyang County is known as the "Indochina Furnace," as temperatures here are consistently the highest in the country, often exceeding 40 degrees Celsius during the day. During these times, when people think of Xiangyang, they immediately picture the intense heat and the harshness of the weather.
Located in a "hot zone," recently resettled at a high altitude where trees are scarce and clean water for daily use is severely lacking, more than 30 households in Xop Mat village are struggling to cope with the scorching heat. Their daily lives and production activities are being disrupted by the intense heat.
 |
| Having recently relocated to a new settlement at a high altitude, the isolated village of Xop Mat, lacking any shade trees, is considered the hottest place in Tuong Duong district. |
 |
| Due to its high altitude, the inadequate water supply system and reservoirs make it even more difficult for the residents of Xop Mat to avoid water shortages during hot weather. |
 |
| Most families use cans, buckets, basins, and even pots and pans to store clean water for their daily needs. |
 |
| The children were also exhausted from the heat. |
 |
| It was so hot inside the house that the mother had to carry her young child to the back to escape the heat. |
 |
| The man carried his child to the garden to pick vegetables, but the vegetables had withered due to the heat. |
