The reporter came to the Hankou River beach, the famous "family of five" sculpture in the water only exposed the heads of the parents, the original complete sculpture has now been submerged by the river. Citizens who came to watch said that the change was so surprising that it was even difficult to recognize.

Most of the water level sculptures on Sanyang Square were flooded, and the performance area of the Jiangtan Stage was also completely submerged. Although the side of the trail near the river has set up a cordon of "the river is turbulent, please do not play in the water", there are still many citizens who come with their children and want to have a "close contact" with the river.

Hydrological data shows that this is the first time since 2021 that the water level at Hankou Station has crossed the 25-meter water level in nearly three years. As of 10 a.m. on June 30, the water level at Wuhan Pass (Hankou Station) on the Yangtze River had reached 27.06 meters, 0.24 meters lower than the flood control warning level. Others mentioned that the sculpture that recorded the flood level in 1998 has also been submerged. But in the face of rising water levels, citizens showed calmness and confidence.

The reporter then arrived at the Wuhan Guan Wharf of Wuhan Ferry, where the gate was closed and operations had ceased to operate. According to the staff of Wuhan Guan Wharf, all routes, including tourist cruise ships, were suspended at noon on June 29 due to rising water levels for safety reasons. If citizens and tourists want to get information about the resumption of sailing, they can pay attention to the official account of Liangjiang Ferry.

Although the rising water level of the Hankou River beach has affected some landscapes and traffic, the citizens remain optimistic and cautious while paying attention, believing that with the efforts of all parties, they can survive the flood safely.
