(Baonghean.vn)- Ban Xop Mat (Luong Minh commune) can be considered one of the hottest spots in the country, not only because it is located in the "Tuong Duong Fire Pan" but also because of other reasons.
In the summer, Xiangyang district is known as the “Fire Pan of Indochina”, because the temperature here is always the highest in the country, often above 40 degrees Celsius during the day. These days, when mentioning Xiangyang, people often think of the heat, think of the harshness of the weather.
Located in the “hot coordinates” area, newly resettled at high altitude, without trees, and severely lacking clean water, more than 30 households in Xop Mat village are struggling to cope with the scorching heat. The daily life and production of the people here are being disrupted by the heat.
 |
| Having just moved to a new settlement at a high altitude, the village is bare and has no shade, so Xop Mat is considered the hottest place in Tuong Duong district. |
 |
| Because of the high altitude, the pipeline system and domestic water tanks are not guaranteed, making the people of Xop Mat suffer more from the lack of water on hot days. |
 |
| Most families use cans, buckets, basins and even pots and pans to store clean water for daily needs. |
 |
| The children were also exhausted from the heat. |
 |
| It was so hot in the house that this mother had to carry her baby to the back of the house to cool off. |
 |
| This man carried his child out to the garden to pick vegetables, but the vegetables had been dried out by the hot sun. |
