Palembang

The capital city of the province of South Sumatra, Palembang is one of the oldest cities in Indonesia, and was the capital of the Srivijaya maritime empire. Located on the banks of the Musi River, one of Palembang\'s most iconic landmarks is the Ampera bridge which unites the Seberang Ilir to the north and Seberang Ulu to the south. Seberang Ilir is Palembang\'s economic and cultural centre, while Seberang Ulu is its political centre. One must try delicacy when in Palembang is Pempek which is a fried or steamed fish cake bathed in a black spicy vinegar sauce.
The once sleepy river port on sungai Siak, has transformed into one of Indonesia’s oil capitals, with all the hustle and bustle of a modern city. Long before today\'s affordable air travel, it served as a transit point for tourists between ferries from Singapore. Following the Americans striking oil back in the 1930\'s, Pekanbaru\'s economy was heavily dependent on oil revenues and now its not uncommon to have a conversation with a Western oil executive, on a business trip when visiting.
