Bamboo Bridge
This incredible bridge is built entirely from bamboo each year and stretches across the wide Mekong River, then gets swept away by floodwaters every rainy season.
Kampong Cham
Kampong Cham is a city with a big history and an even bigger river running through it. Sitting alongside the mighty Mekong, this Cambodian city was once a bustling center for trade and government, and you can still feel that important energy in its streets today. One of its most remarkable features is a bridge built entirely from bamboo every single dry season, stretching all the way across the wide river by hand. When the floods come, the river simply swallows it whole, and the whole process begins again the following year.
Beyond the bridge, Kampong Cham is full of fascinating contrasts. At Wat Nokor, an ancient Khmer temple from the 1000s stands right beside a bright, modern Buddhist shrine, old and new existing peacefully together. Nearby hills come with a playful legend about a building contest between men and women. Whether you are watching boats drift past at sunset or exploring island gardens, this city rewards the curious traveler at every turn.

Fun fact
