Palembang
Some
of the TOP Hotels in Bali
Bali's
most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre
sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation,
shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but
most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast
Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north
coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural
centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized
overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged
every night of the week and the streets are full of
arts-and-crafts galleries.

The
main market and oil export center of South Sumatra located
on both sides of the Musi River 200 km upstream from
the sea. After Medan, Palembang is the 2nd most populous
city of Sumatra, population 600,000. Its neon strip
is not that interesting. Strong Muslim. Could get very
sticky and hot. Much of the city is built on piles over
the water and tidal mudflats. Floating houses are moored
along the bank with river traders paddling about, shops
line the waterfront like a shopping and promenade street.
This area is known for forest products, oil wells, tin
mines, rubber and coffee plantations. See the oil refineries
at night down the Musi all lit up like a space city.
40% of the total Indonesian government revenue comes
from this oil province alone. The monstrous Sungei Gerong
Refinery has a daily capacity of 75,000 barrels; also
a huge US$200 million petrochemical complex at Plaju.
Pertamina has built a large sports stadium here and
also given the city a town clock, a handsome minaret
for its mosque, and a TV station. getting there: All
roads, rivers, and railways in South Sumatra end up
eventually in Palembang. Ships up to 10,000 tons can
voyage this far upriver. The daily slow express train
from Telukbetung departs around 8 am, arrives at 4 or
5 pm; elephants have the right of way. Take the bus
from Padang to Palembang for around Rp4-5000. To fly
from Jakarta, Rp17,000.
