One of them is the Cheng Ho Mosque which is unique because it has Chinese-style architecture. There are many other interesting spots such as Dino's Gate and Golden Prawn Beach Park which are fit for having fun with family and relatives.
Punti Kayu Nature Park, Palembang
This natural tourist spot, located in the middle of Palembang, South Sumatra, is one of the largest inner-city pine forests in Indonesia. Here, travelers can enjoy the natural feel of the pine forest, take a break from the city, or just have fun with the family. This natural park also provides challenging entertainment such as off-road tracking and flying fox.
Siak River, Pekanbaru
The river that stretches across the city of Pekanbaru keeps the history of the city. This river is very beautiful, whether it is day or night, where many people are active to enjoy the evening sky along the river, by eating a variety of culinary offerings, or by taking a river tour by boat in the pier area. Currently, various revitalizations are carried out in the Siak river area to maintain the scenic view of the river.
Equator Monument, Pontianak
Known as the Equator Monument, the monument is on Jalan Khatulistiwa, North Pontianak, West Kalimantan Province. The Equator Monument is best to spot the Culmination of the Sun every March 21-23 and September 21-23. When this phenomenon takes place, the sun is directly above the equator and the shadow of the monument will "disappear" for a few seconds despite the sun's rays.

As we know, Mangrove Forests have a role in maintaining the balance of the environment around the coast. Balikpapan City has the Graha Indah Mangrove Center, which is the best place to learn about the function and role of the Mangrove Forest.
This educational nature tour is located not far from the city center, making it easy to visit. The main attraction when visiting the Graha Indah Mangrove Center is the boat facility that can be used to go down the Somber River. We can also see some endemic animals of Kalimantan such as Proboscis monkeys and various types of mangrove trees.
