Bus Travel Guide from Palembang to Jakarta

Palembang is the capital of the South Sumatra province of Indonesia. It is the oldest existing city, dating back to the 7th century. It was a Buddhist Srivijaya Empire from the 7th to the 12th century, then a Hindu Empire for the next 2 centuries, before it was pushed under Islamic rule in the 17th century. This city which once had 120 canals, sits along the Musi River which brought in the name “Venice of the East.” However, most of the canals have now disappeared, and now Musi has many streams and tributaries. Palembang jointly hosted the highly successful 2018 Asian Games with Jakarta.

It has a very ancient history, having been established in the 4th century. The city is sinking due to rising water levels and is the fastest sinking capital city in the world.
