Mekong bridge town among rubber plantations
A provincial capital on the Mekong River in central Cambodia, a river port surrounded by rubber and farm country. The Kizuna Bridge here was one of the first to span the lower Mekong.
Once one of Cambodia's most populous provinces, the area was a center of French-era rubber cultivation. Nearby stand the ancient temples of Wat Nokor and the twin hills of Phnom Pros and Phnom Srei.
