The capital city of South Sumatra is Palembang. Musi River runs in this city. A famous bridge, the

Ampera Bridge, spans on this river. In the past, Palembang was the capital city of the Sriwijaya

Kingdom. South Sumatra is also welknown for its songket and rainbow textiles.Situated on the

eastern side of the Bukit Barisan mountain range the province of South Sumatra is relatively flat,

nevertheless fertile, as numerous rivers crisscross and meander through out the region. Part of this

province are two sizable islands called Bangka and Belitung, off Sumatra's east coast in the South

China Sea. Palembang, its capital city and gateway to the province, lies right on the banks of the

great Musi river, 60 km upstream and navigable by oceangoing vessels. No wonder that most

major social and economic activities should center in and around Palembang and the Musi river

where the region's pride, the Ampera Bridge, is found as well.Because of its sheer location on the

southernmost rim of the South China Sea and close to one of world's busiest sea lanes linking the

Far East with Europe, the region's historical background is undoubtedly rich and colorful.

Sriwijaya University, Polytechnic State of Sriwijaya, IAIN Raden Fatah, STMIK-MDP, Indo

The Musi RiverBy Javanese standards the Musi river is both very broad as well as long, comparable to those

found on the big island of Kalimantan, formerly Borneo. The river flows right through the city,

cutting it in two halves called the Ulu bank and the Ilir bank and linked by a bridge of considerable

size and length, called the Ampera Bridge. If visitors do not care to make an interesting or unique

boat trip down the river, they could still take a walk halfway over the bridge to see the vast

panorama surrounding them, rare at any other place in Indonesia. Down below they will see

unbelievable traffic of boats, big and small, crisscrossing water lines without accidents as if steered

by the most able navigators.

Limas The Traditional House

Another interesting item to see is the Limas house

which are still found scattered over the province, most of

them built on riversides, however, not facing the waterfront.

One explanation could be that daily household activities can

be done in full privacy, out of sight of passers-by. These very

ornate wooden houses built on stilts have rather sizable

measurements: from 15 to 20 m in width and from 30 to 60

m in length. A good part of the house has hand-carved

columns, door and window frames and cross ventilation

between the rooms by placing wooden panels with flow-

through carvings just below the ceilings. Indeed, it would

almost be a must to observe the architecture and style of

these Limas houses, some of them open to the public.

Punti Kayu Natural Pine ForestThis recently built recreational complex covers an area of 50

hectares, consisting of four parts: an amusement park, a

recreation park, an natural forest, and a man-made lake. In

this complex are to be found a children's playground, a

cultural park, a souvenirs shop, restaurants and an

information booth. Because of its proximity to the capital

and easy accessibility, this complex actually caters mainly to

the local inhabitants of the city of Palembang, however,

international tourists may enjoy passing a calm day here to

watch urbanites amuse themselves.

Ampera BridgeThe city’s landmark and one that is spectacular at

night when fully lit. The bridge was built by the Japanese as

reparation after the Second World War. The meaning of

Ampera is amanat penderitaan rakyat. The bridge that

spread above Musi River is becomes the main characteristic

of Palembang city. It was built on 1962 - 1965. Ampera

Bridge has 78m high of tower.
