I am not really sure what is the attraction of Palembang. But, most of talk about Palembang will be on the bridges that across the famous river, Musi. The river of Musi is the 'heart' of the people in Palembang. Many daily activities as bathing, washing, fishing and many more that contribute to water pollution happened from long time ago. The government make a movement to reserve the water and its environment, and the year 2007 they campaign for Visit Musi! For those who like a cultural experience will like to see the river and observe the living surround it.
Note: the pictures I share here might not satisfying enough. I use my low-res handphone camera.
