Nice place to have a walkabout during the day time. Some stalls selling food and drinks and also local handicraft. Can take boat rides along and across the river from here.

Nice place for a stroll down by the river. Great at sunset. Plenty of benches. New boardwalk on the other side. Catch a boat over for some food or the fort or the orchid garden.

Great place to stroll and relax. Nothing much to look at but there are a few food stalls about. Grab something to eat, find a bench and relax. Look out for the information plaques on the ground. Catch a boat. Relax relax relax.
