The land running along the Cau River presents a stark contrast in lifestyle between its two banks. On one side lies a bustling city center filled with high-rise buildings, shopping centers, convenient transportation systems, and bright lights at night. On the other side, a peaceful and quiet agricultural area prevails. However, as new bridges and synchronized transportation infrastructure have been used recently, the urban-rural divide between the two banks is gradually narrowing.
