Riverbank

A river falls down just thirty meters beside the neighborhood. As you follow the river down a while, you will find the river flows quite smoothly. Carefully constructed riverbanks wind along the river and white egrets fly over the water. Sometimes they perch on the trees which covered the riverbanks. In the evening, a large amount of people take a stroll or walk briskly on the riverbanks. Both banks are paved with plastic tracks, so you can go there for a walk even when it’s wet. You also don’t need to worry about the burning sun for the thick tree branches are over your head.

"For" sounds very formal/stylized. If that is not the tone you'd like to have, you could also say "You also don’t need to worry about the burning sun, thanks to the thick tree branches overhead" (more casual) or "You also don’t need to worry about the burning sun, because there are thick tree branches overhead." (not especially casual or formal, more neutral).

Sounds like a lovely river!

What if I want to express the river has a fall? Actually there's a dam there and the water falls down and rushes away.

Hm, there are many ways you can say it but I think what you said is good! "There is a dam on the river, where the water falls down and rushes away." To modify your original sentence, you might say something like "There is a dam just thirty meters away from the neighborhood, where the river forms a waterfall." Or you could also say more simply, "There is a waterfall just thirty meters away from the neighborhood."
