The Siem Reap River Garden stretches along the banks with orderly rows of manicured shrubs and stone walkways that contrast with the chaotic traffic nearby. It functions as a flood control project as much as a public park. Engineers widened and deepened the riverbed here to channel water away from the ancient temple foundations upstream during the heavy monsoon rains. Locals often gather on the stone benches at dusk to watch the water levels rise and fall against the reinforced concrete embankments.
