Loi Vo, a photographer living and working in Hoi An. He is currently the founder of Wow Studio, a photography studio specializing in wedding photography. Every year after the storm and flood season, Loi Vo often carries his camera and captures the moments of Hoi An gradually recovering amid the high tide. To take this photo series, Loi Vo started out at 5 p.m. He believes that this is the right time to capture Hoi An in the sunset.
Hoi An ancient town flooded after storm Noru.
Loi Vo moved from the beginning of Cam Nam bridge and continued to the old town. He leisurely lifted his camera as he walked, stopping to choose a suitable angle. Therefore, the photo series of Hoi An after the storm had many diverse angles. When he took this photo series, most of the fallen trees had been trimmed and cleaned up, and the roads were also more open.
"I love the feeling of wading in the water to take photos. For me, even though the weather has changed a lot, Hoi An ancient town remains the same, still gentle and peaceful," Loi Vo shared with Travellive.
Cam Nam Bridge connects Hoi An ancient town with other areas.
According to the People's Committee of Hoi An City, the good news after the storm is that all the ancient houses and the Japanese Covered Bridge are still safe. Currently, the entire ancient town has more than 1,100 ancient houses under special protection. Currently, the cleaning of mud and dirt has been basically completed on the North bank, the roads on the South bank of the Hoai River are still in disarray and it will take a few days for the ancient town to return to its pre-storm state. Although located in the path of the eye of storm Noru, Hoi An City (Quang Nam) did not suffer any significant damage. Tourism activities were bustling again less than 12 hours after the storm swept through.
