Life along the Tongle Sap ⛴️🍢🪁

Rivers have always brought along with it bustling commercial activities around the world (think Mekong River Delta, River Thames, Ganges River). Sisowath Riverside Park, located along the banks of the Tonle Sap River just before it meets with the Mekong River, is no different. Walking along Sisowath Riverside Park in Phnom Penh was a vibrant immersion into the heartbeat of Cambodian life. The bustling promenade teemed with activity as locals went about their daily routines - recreational fishermen casted their lines into the Tonle Sap River, families picnicked on the grass patches, kids played happily on the banks of the river, food vendors lined the pathway with their aromatic offerings and ferries ferried the everyday man across the banks during the evening rush hour. All these sights, sounds and smells really invigorated my senses. It was really as local as it could get in Phnom Penh. Amidst this backdrop, the city's modern buildings and heavy traffic also contrasted with the palace grounds and temples nearby, a testament to Cambodia's dynamic blend of past and present and also perhaps an optimistic sign of a country on the rise. #winhkflight #winhkflight I want to visit Hong Kong as it is truly a paradise for food lovers like me! I'm drooling just thinking about devouring dim sum at Tim Ho Wan, slurping noodles at Mak's Noodle, and feasting on roast goose at Yat Lok. Can't wait!
