Many people are flocking to West Lake for a swim as a heat wave hits Hanoi
Pham Tuan Anh, a local of Tay Ho District, said he often walked his pet around the West Lake.
"The air here is cool and much more relaxed than the swimming pool centres. And I can walk my pet too," he said.
Parents brought their children out to swim in the lake. Despite posted warning signs against drowning, many weren't wearing life jackets while swimming or keeping a close watch on children.
