Palembang, little Venice from east

I think every people would admit that my hometown Palembang is a perfect comparison for Venice in Italy or Amsterdam in Netherland. Previous centuries ago Palembang was built above of the water ( Musi river ) and swamp areas by king of Sriwijaya and the Sultans of Palembang Darussalam. Until now there are still lots of small rivers ( sub river of Musi ) flowing through the city. Palembang is absolutely awesome! With lots of cultures and arts, special handicrafts, languages (unification of Melayu and district language ), and also special foods. I’m advising you to pay a visit to Palembang oftenly.
