The river gets pretty busy here:

Even with all the traffic on the river (most of the boats you see are water taxis) there’s still a lot of pollution in the city. Check out this haze and you can also get an idea of just how big this city is:

Barges head up and down the river most of the day. When they go downriver, they’re full:

And when they go upriver, they’re empty and you can see just how much they fill them:

I took a poor-man’s cruise today and rode the water taxi up-river a ways. It was cheap, and there was a lot to look at as we motored by houses, docks, restaurants and temples. No photos from that, but I’m sure I’ll be on the river again tomorrow.
