Xuan Huong Lake is filled with duckweed and trash after heavy rain.

On the morning of August 13, at the national scenic relic Xuan Huong Lake (Lam Dong province), a large amount of duckweed and garbage covered the lake surface.

According to records, the garbage mainly came from upstream after a heavy rain on the evening of August 12, causing a section of Tran Quoc Toan Street to be flooded for many hours.
