Kampong Cham

Kampong Cham is a city on the Mekong River.  It is the 6thlargest city in Cambodia with just over 63,000 inhabitants in 2006.  Some of the following photos were taken on the road to Kampong Cham and some were taken as I walked around the city.

 below: The Kizuna Bridge, the first bridge over the Mekong in Cambodia, was built in 2001 with a grant from the Japanese government.  It provided the first ever road link between the eastern and western portions of Cambodia. It is 1500m long.
