00:00:03.592 --> 00:00:05.712 
Dear readers, I am currently in Hue's Taipei. 

00:00:06.192 --> 00:00:08.788 
After 4 days of being deeply submerged
in water until the afternoon of October 

00:00:08.788 --> 00:00:10.272 
30, the water had basically dropped almost completely. 

00:00:11.072 --> 00:00:14.773 
The Hue Monuments Conservation Center of
Taipei is mobilizing maximum forces to 

00:00:14.773 --> 00:00:16.932 
clean up to welcome visitors back soon. 

00:00:17.969 --> 00:00:21.258 
After 4 days of sinking in the great
flood by the afternoon of October 30, 

00:00:21.258 --> 00:00:23.669 
the flood water in the Hue Imperial City has basically receded, 

00:00:23.949 --> 00:00:26.829 
only re-energised some flooded spots
from 5 to 15cm. 

00:00:27.369 --> 00:00:30.533 
As soon as the water receded, dozens of
officers and staff of the Hue 

00:00:30.533 --> 00:00:31.889 
Monuments Conservation Center started cleaning up. 

00:00:32.169 --> 00:00:34.029 
overcome the consequences to welcome guests back soon. 

00:00:36.110 --> 00:00:40.450 
In recent days, implementing the
direction of the center's sales 

00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:45.225 
director, we have assigned a 24-24
on-duty force and immediately after 

00:00:45.225 --> 00:00:50.867 
being withdrawn, we have used the
dipping sauce as a pillar, cleaned that 

00:00:50.867 --> 00:00:55.208 
pillar, ventilated the rock and soil
cluster, ensuring the earliest 

00:00:55.208 --> 00:00:56.510 
service to tourists. 

00:00:57.322 --> 00:01:00.202 
On the same evening, the reporter's
records showed that inside the main 

00:01:00.202 --> 00:01:01.882 
hall, the working atmosphere was very urgent. 

00:01:02.222 --> 00:01:05.342 
The team sprayed the yard, the mud
collector, the garbage collector, and 

00:01:05.342 --> 00:01:07.162 
transported the belongings to the dry area. 

00:01:07.542 --> 00:01:10.122 
Everyone was wet, covered with dirt but still tired. 

00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:17.439 
At the relic sites, most were flooded
from 1m-1.5m deep, while some 

00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:18.739 
were flooded 1.7m 

00:01:18.739 --> 00:01:23.239 
greatly affects the construction site
and surrounding landscape 

00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.839 
However, for Do Hue's relics, the
majority are from ancient times 

00:01:27.839 --> 00:01:32.239 
he has also calculated and designed the
correct works to be suitable for the height 

00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.739 
to ensure limiting the impact of storms 

00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:40.327 
Therefore, the impact of storms and
floods on the renovation works so far 

00:01:40.327 --> 00:01:41.739 
is also very beneficial 

00:01:41.739 --> 00:01:49.739 
All the center's assets are decorated
and placed on high ground 

00:01:49.739 --> 00:01:53.739 
at the same time, the center also
assigned a 24/7 on-duty force 

00:01:53.739 --> 00:01:59.427 
to respond in an extremely timely
manner, we will set the next step 

00:01:59.427 --> 00:02:00.739 
as it goes 

00:02:00.739 --> 00:02:04.739 
according to the pre-made plan, the
damage is almost insignificant 

00:02:05.210 --> 00:02:07.903 
According to the leader of the Hue
Monuments Conservation Center on the 

00:02:07.903 --> 00:02:11.270 
morning of October 29, the water has
temporarily receded, the unit has cleaned up once, 

00:02:11.590 --> 00:02:13.657 
But by the afternoon of the same day,
the water gradually returned, causing 

00:02:13.657 --> 00:02:14.930 
the mainland to continue to be deeply flooded. 

00:02:15.330 --> 00:02:18.144 
The center had to mobilize all forces to
clean up for the second time, 

00:02:18.144 --> 00:02:19.350 
which lasted for many consecutive days. 

00:02:19.830 --> 00:02:23.490 
Some officers and employees have stayed
for the past 4 days, some have not returned home, 

00:02:23.830 --> 00:02:27.630 
be on duty to ensure the safety of relic
items and soon restore sightseeing activities. 

00:02:28.582 --> 00:02:32.647 
After the flood receded, the center
immediately deployed forces 

00:02:32.647 --> 00:02:34.002 
to stand guard, 

00:02:34.782 --> 00:02:36.262 
clean up early in the morning. 

00:02:36.782 --> 00:02:40.522 
The method is to clean up the
floodwaters as much as possible. 

00:02:41.642 --> 00:02:47.242 
Key projects and tourist attractions are
prioritized for implementation first 

00:02:47.242 --> 00:02:49.962 
to own and serve tourists. 

00:02:49.962 --> 00:02:55.802 
In addition, we also assess the current
status of flooded areas 

00:02:55.802 --> 00:03:00.621 
can impact the works to find solutions
depending on how many works are damaged 

00:03:00.621 --> 00:03:02.342 
and the spring is here. 

00:03:02.618 --> 00:03:05.181 
Currently, the work of cleaning,
disinfecting and inspecting works in the 

00:03:05.181 --> 00:03:06.578 
main hall is still being implemented, 

00:03:06.938 --> 00:03:08.898 
to reopen to tourists soon.
