Long Bien District experienced significant flooding this morning. Le Thu Huong, a resident in Ngoc Lam Ward, said it rained all day yesterday and continued into the early morning.
"Yesterday afternoon, I heard that Ha Dong was heavily flooded and congested, and I thought Long Bien never floods. But this morning, the water was so high that I could not even move my bike," Huong said.
Ha Dong District (Hanoi) is a frequent hotspot for traffic congestion during heavy rain. Due to the continuous downpour throughout the day, by the afternoon of July 23, Quang Trung area in Yen Nghia Ward (Ha Dong District) was heavily flooded, making it difficult for vehicles to navigate around the water.
