LOL. If you magnify it, you will see people on their bicycles, smiling and waving to each other, kids on swings in a clean playground, and teenagers playing water volleyball in the clear blue waters of the Tonle Sap. :wave:

Where are we exactly? Mekong or Tonle Sap?
How far from the bridge?

The green bits actually do look like the Mekong bank in the northern part of Chroy Changva.
Just a bit less populated in this promotional "photo".

Yes, could be the clear blue waters of the Mekong.

I can't read Chinese, but it looks like a ferry service going across from st 110 ?

It's not to scale, it's the Prek Pnov Bridge. The one on Google Earth is probably the bailey bridge that was used temporarily while they were building the second Chruoy Changva Bridge.

Your both wrong. I took this photo of it just a few days ago about one or two km north of the Japanese bridge .

The map is more or less to scale and the bridge on the left is not the Prek Pnov bridge, which is way further north, but the Tonle Sap bridge.
(as @Duncan just before me also said)

Update:
Hm, linking to the images now fails, it seems. Anyway, Duncan has already posted pics.

A Cambodian guy told me the building on the other side is going to be a Bus Station ??????
