Mekong River | Phnom Penh | Cambodia

Date: 2023-03-09

Walking from the National Museum of Cambodia towards the Mekong River, we could see a striking contrast between the bustling city on one side and the calmness of the Mekong river on the other. One side of the city is alive with restaurants, bright lights, and people, with both locals and tourists enjoying their time at bars. However, as you continue walking towards the river, the atmosphere changes, and you reach the quieter side, by the Mekong. You can see people sitting peacefully with their families and friends, engaging in conversations, playing games, or simply enjoying the stunning views of the sunset. Boats and ships ride on the calm waters- a quiet, peaceful sight. Also, the place reminded me of Marine Drive in Mumbai, which shares a similar charm and tranquillity. What do you think?
