The town of Riung is basically a tidal flat surrounded by mangroves. Along the flats people live in houses built on stilts. The tide rises up below their homes 2x per day so they have built ramps to the streets. The rest of the people live in the mangroves where cool little fishing villages are built on floating platforms and shallow reefs.
