The strong winds of Typhoon Yagi, which swept through Hanoi in less than a day, left many streets devastated and ruined. On many routes, traffic was completely disrupted if not for the timely intervention of authorities who cut down trees and cleared the roads.
Many Hanoi residents woke up to a chaotic scene of fallen trees and corrugated iron roofs lying on the streets. Many ancient trees in iconic locations in Hanoi had also fallen.
After the storm, the streets were left in ruins.
Hanoi was like a torn-up canvas after Typhoon Yagi swept through. Trees were broken and scattered everywhere, power lines were tangled, and corrugated iron roofs were blown off in all directions, creating a chaotic symphony. Immediately after the fury of nature subsided, residents and authorities quickly poured into the streets, working together to clean up and repair the damage.
Once the most vibrant street in the capital, Phan Dinh Tung Street has also become desolate after the storm.
Phan Dinh Phung Street, once ablaze with the vibrant colors of autumn flowers, has now become desolate. The charming flower carts of yesteryear have given way to bare, leaning trees, like old soldiers exhausted after a battle.
Large trees have fallen, blocking roads.
Fresh flower bouquets lie abandoned along what is considered Hanoi's most beautiful street in autumn. Surprisingly, amidst this desolate scene, young people still come, cameras in hand, determined to capture these unique moments.
A chaotic scene on Phan Dinh Phung street.
Phan Dinh Phung Street is not just a road, but a living museum of Hanoi's history and culture. Ancient tamarind and mahogany trees, with their enormous roots clinging to the earth and their lush green branches reaching towards the sky, form giant umbrellas providing shade for the street. On sweltering summer days, the shade of these trees is an ideal place for city dwellers to rest and relax. The buzzing of cicadas blends with the rustling of leaves, creating a gentle symphony that lulls us into peaceful dreams. This tranquil and serene space has become a part of the childhood memories of countless Hanoians.
Despite the chaotic scene, many young people still came to check in.
According to a representative of the Hanoi Green Parks Company Limited, as of 3:00 PM on September 8th, according to incomplete statistics in the area under the company's management, Typhoon No. 3 caused approximately 3,000 trees to fall or be uprooted (including many large-diameter trees) and about 3,500 cases of broken branches on streets in 12 districts (not including cases in alleys, neighborhoods, and the premises of organizations and individuals)...
The company mobilized 100% of its workforce, deploying all available equipment, vehicles, and tools for disaster prevention and control, and stationed standby forces ready to meet the demands of clearing fallen trees and broken branches caused by Typhoon No. 3.
