Residents of Bao Vinh Town in Thua Thien-Hue Province have taken the severe disruption caused by heavy flooding in their stride. Located  on the banks of downstream  Huong (Perfume) River,  the old town in  Huong Vinh Commune  was severely flooded Saturday after it rained heavily for two days . Bao Vinh Town, 3 km from Hue's center, is a valuable part of the cultural heritage of Hue, Vietnam's former imperial capital. It used to be a busy commercial port from the 17th century. The town still has low and tiled-roof houses and remains vibrant with the practice of traditional crafts. Huong and her daughter  run an eatery, but their flooded shop has no customers. “Normally we are busy serving food ,  but now we just sit here all day. If the water level increases, we will have to move our stuff upstairs,” Huong said. A woman sings karaoke as two men have a drink at a shop open for business despite being flooded.
