Through the canals and rivers, we travel through an entire riverside city, crisscrossed by sampangs and canoes driven by paddle. Cool open-plan houses border the water where the foliage of the trees bathes. Wooden footbridges, thrown from one bank to the other, are crossed by a hardworking and active population and an equal bustle reigns on the banks and on the water.
