The south bank of Sungai Sarawak has been turned into a promenade, with paved walkways, grass and trees, and food stalls. It's a fine place for a stroll any time a cool breeze blows off the river, especially at sunset. In the evening, the waterfront is ablaze with colourful fairy lights and full of couples and families eating snacks as tambang (small passenger ferries) glide past with their glowing lanterns. The water level is kept constant by a downstream barrage.
