KambangIwak Park

-









After colonialism, the Dutch abandoned various buildings which not only fulfilled their aesthetic functions, but also their practical functions. The various buildings spread throughout the archipelago, not least in Palembang, South Sumatra. KambangIwak Park is one of the Dutch relics in Palembang that still exists today.

KambangIwak Park is a city park that has existed since the 1900s. The park, which was originally built for people of Dutch descent as a sporting place, has a lake in the middle. In addition to functioning as a decorative garden, this artificial lake also has a practical function as a place to accommodate rainwater overflows, so as to ward off flooding.


Literally, the name KambangIwak comes from a local language that can be interpreted as a fish pond. Making the lake as a fish pond, besides functioning as a place to store water and decorate the lake, is also the ideals of the Palembang community. These ideals must certainly be in line with awareness to continue to preserve and maintain the cleanliness of the lake.

KambangIwak Park is located between JalanTasik and JalanSutomo, Palembang City. The park which has an area of ​​around 5 hectares is equipped with various facilities that are continually updated. These facilities include, for example, children's playgrounds, seats, tap water that can be drunk directly, to free hotspot facilities for those who want to access the internet while relaxing to enjoy the shady park.


Every weekend, Taman KambangIwak is often enlivened by the community, ranging from children to adults who come from various communities, such as the music community, roller skates, skateboards, bicycles, to the dance and theater communities. Equipped with a jogging track, Taman KambangIwak is also often enlivened for those who want to run around the lake or just exercise in the morning or in the evening.

The banks of the lake in Taman KambangIwak often found trembesi plants and other shady trees. From the trees often chirping birds that make the atmosphere become shady and beautiful. While in the middle of the transverse lake the bridge which has a length of about 200 meters. The bridge divides the lake and connects JalanTasik and JalanSutomo which are opposite. At night, KambangIwak Park offers a beautiful view with a shower in the middle of the lake, moreover the lights make the shower look more exotic

KAMPUNG INGGRIS PARE  Why is it called "English village Pare"? This name is not actually the formal name of a village. This is a title or nickname for a village located along Jalan Anyelir, Brawijaya Street, Jalan Kemuning in Tulungrejo village and Cache village, Pare District, Kediri Regency, East Java. A small, peaceful, cool village away from the hustle and bustle of the city. And what needs to be affirmed, the people who live here are pure Indonesian people. Tulungrejo and Pelem dubbed the Kampung of England was not without reason, but because the two villages are the largest English learning places in Indonesia today.

Palembang Grand Mosque Palembang Grand Mosque or Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I Great Mosque is one of the religious tourism icons in South Sumatra. This mosque was built by Sultan Mahmud Badarudin I Jaya Wikrama around the 18th century, located in the 19 Ilirarea which is one of the original villages of Palembang and Arabia. There is something unique that I found in this historic mosque: First, the Palembang Great Mosque had been the largest mosque in Indonesia for several years. Second, the shape of the building which is a blend of three architectures.Indonesian, European and Chinese Architecture. Indonesian architecture covers almost all mosque buildings. While European architecture can be seen from the entrance of the mosque. Chinese architecture can be seen from the roof of the mosque in the form of a temple. Third, one stop area. Since the mosque is next to the Pasar 16 Ilir, of course the crowded market will affect the atmosphere of the mo
