This place is must visit when you are in Samarinda. I am not Muslim but I visited this mosque based on the suggestion of the cab driver. It was very awesome. The best mosque I ever seen in Indonesia until now. Very artistic, very quiet, good for relax and if you need some time alone to reflect things. As long as you respect this worship place like wash your feet before you enter, not use your slippers or shoes inside and don't be noisy. I had a great experience here.See more..

4.0Jami Mosque Banjarmasin(17 reviews) - A privilege to visit Spent 1-2 hours Religious Sites
This is not really a tourist attraction but visitors are welcome. Just make sure you dress appropriately, show proper respect (ie, dress modestly, take off your shoes, be sensitive of people praying) etc. It is a very beautiful, historically significant building made from ulin (iron wood) dating from 1777. It is located in the old part of Banjarmasin which is also interesting to look around. Not far from there is the old timber milling village which is probably where the timber for the mosque came from originally. There is no signage for tourists but there is a wikipedia article that details something of the history. Our driver also knew a bit being from the local area. It is a very peaceful place and it is nice to walk in barefoot on the timber floors that have been worn smooth by many feet over several centuries. There is a box where you can make donations.See more..
4.0Tua Pek Kong Pagoda(3 reviews) - Beautiful Chinese temple in a predominantly Muslim city Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites
Kelenteng Tua Pek Kong is a Chinese temple located right in the heart of Ketapang, West Kalimantan in Indonesia. It is located in the Chinese district of the city (which is actually a market place) and reflects the predominant presence of Chinese population in the regency. As expected of Chinese temples, this one has a very elaborate architecture and very vibrant colors. The place is open to the public, even to tourists, and taking pictures of both the interior and the exterior of the temple is allowed. It is a good experience to simply observe the rites Chinese people carry out in this temple any time of the day. Tua Pek Kong literally means "grand uncle". This Chinese religion was introduced in Borneo in the 18th century. Story has it that Tua Pek Kong was originally a man from the Hakka clan whose boat accidentally landed on the Malay archipelago. After his death, the local inhabitants began building temples in his honor. Today his cult is widely observed by the Malaysian Chinese populace in Indonesia. Visiting this Chinese temple is thing you can do when you visit Ketapang. Its structure provides a wonderful background for photos and is a concrete reminder of the Chinese culture existing in the city. Be mindful, however, that this is primarily a religious place. Hence, proper decorum must be observed.See more..
