Approximately 25-35 individuals are scattered along this path and on the sloped, grassy verge next to the concrete wall, mostly seated. Behind the pathway, a continuous and dense wall of dark green trees and shrubs forms a natural barrier, obscuring any structures beyond it. The same multi-arched concrete bridge is visible in the mid-ground, connecting to this bank. The people visible on both banks are casually dressed and appear to be engaged in leisure activities such as relaxing by the river.
