Hoi An is one of the places heavily affected by storm No. 6. Heavy rains lasting on October 10 and 11 caused the water level of the Hoai River to rise and flood into people's houses, and main streets in the city such as Bach Dang, Cong Nu Ngoc Hoa, Nguyen Phuc Chu,... were submerged in 1.5 - 2 meters of water.

Water spread into every corner.
Places flooded more than 2m deep.
During the two days of the storm, water flooded every corner of the old town. Boats and sampans were the main means of transport for people to take shelter and to take tourists back to the main road.
The market well intersection became a boat and ferry landing site.
The rain has now stopped but some streets are still flooded. Faced with this scene, some tourists have chosen to stay to experience Hoi An tourism during the rainy and stormy season. For them, taking a boat trip in the old town is a moment that does not always happen: Hoi An is both sad after a year of fighting the pandemic and storms, and peaceful and serene because of the clear blue sky, and people seem familiar and calm after the storm.
