The Tonlé Sap (Large Fresh Water River or Great Lake) is a combined lake and river system of major importance to Cambodia. The Tonlé Sap is the largest freshwater lake in South East Asia and is an ecological hot spot that was designated as a UNESCO biosphere in 1997. The Tonlé Sap is unusual for two reasons: its flow changes direction twice a year, and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons. From November to May, Cambodia's dry season, the Tonlé Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh. However, when the year's heavy rains begin in June, the Tonlé Sap backs up to form an enormous lake. The Tonlé Sap is home to many ethnic Vietnamese and Cham communities, living in floating villages around the lake.

VIETNAM - ON THE FERRIES OF THE DELTA OF MEKONG. In the Mekong Delta, water is ubiquitous with the various arms of the river that bathes the territory. The construction of multiple bridges is not possible for economic reasons and because of the instability of the Mekong due to erosion, floods and tides.To allow people to cross the many tributaries, whether they are on foot or conveyed, many boats make round trips all day long. They are called ferries or ferries.VIETNAM - SUR LES FERRIES DU DELTA DU MEKONG. Dans le Delta du Mekong, leau est omniprésente avec les différents bras du fleuve qui baigne le territoire.

Shantou is a port city that was opened to foreign trade after the Second Anglo-Chinese War, also known as the Opium War (1856 - 1860 CE). The town became a British treaty port in 1858. The first treaty ports in China were British and were established at the conclusion of the First Opium War by the Treaty of Nanking in 1842. As well as ceding the island of Hong Kong to the United Kingdom in perpetuity, the treaty also established five treaty ports at Shanghai, Canton, Ningpo, Fuchow, and Amoy. French and American concessions followed soon afterwards. The second group of British treaty ports was set up following the end of the Arrow War in 1860 and eventually more than 80 treaty ports were established in China alone, involving many foreign powers.
