What to Know About Palembang

Key Facts

Palembang is a city and the capital of South Sumatra province in Indonesia, serving as both an autonomous city and the provincial administrative center. Located in the southeastern part of Sumatra Island along the banks of the Musi River, approximately 430 kilometers northwest of Jakarta, Palembang occupies a strategic position as one of Indonesia's oldest cities and a major urban center in the region. With an estimated population of around 1.7 million people spread across an area of approximately 400 square kilometers, it ranks as Indonesia's second-most populous city outside Java. The city is administratively divided into 18 districts (kecamatan) and 107 sub-districts (kelurahan), reflecting its complex urban structure. Palembang gained historical significance as the capital of the ancient Srivijaya Empire, which dominated maritime Southeast Asia from the 7th to 13th centuries, and today serves as a major economic hub for South Sumatra, particularly in oil refining, rubber processing, and coal exports. The city's extensive network of rivers and canals has earned it the nickname 'Venice of the East,' while modern infrastructure developments include the iconic Ampera Bridge spanning the Musi River and hosting the 2018 Asian Games. For residents and businesses seeking postal services, Palembang's comprehensive administrative division system ensures efficient mail delivery across all 18 districts and their numerous sub-districts.
