I'm really proud of Maimun Palace. It's an icon to Medan. The palace itself is really beautiful with its bright yellow ornaments. The palace has a mix of european and arabian architeture. I love the exterior as much as I love the interior. With IDR 10.000 or less than USD 1, you can feel the royal atmosphere. They rent out malay traditional outfit inside the palace. I don't really like the idea of having stores inside the palace. But yeah, you can try it and take some pictures as prince or princess. Last but not least, we need more gallery to read about the history of Sultan, the kingdom and the legends. There's not much to read.See more..

4.0Boat at Desa Lampulo(178 reviews) - It gives you the scale of the 2004 tsunami Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks
I met a lady who survived the 2004 tsunami in Aceh by climbing to this boat when the boat landed on the top of her house. Her name is Mrs. Bundiah. The site was almost close in one afternoon when I visited here, but since she was there, she companied my around the complex and visited the photographs of the site when it happened. They arranged the photograph on the second floor of the house in a way that it gives you the scale of how big the tsunami was. She told me and my friends the first hand story about the tragedy and how she and other 51 people survived after climbing up to this boat when the boat landed on the top of her house after being thrown here and there by the tsunami. I suggest you find her and ask her to tell the story when you visit this site.See more..

If you are inside it, you may feel different compared to a regular masjid so that many people come there to take a pray and to attend its regular Saturday dawn sermon.See more..
One of my favorite place in Palembang is this market. Located near the district centre (kambang Iwak), just tell the driver of any transportation mode you choose (becak, angkot, online motorbike/car, taxi etc) they will bring you here without much asking. Once you’re in, you will find soooooo many cheap pempek resto. You may eat here to taste the pempek before take it away. Have your own choosen or package to bring home. Or they can help to sent it to the other city by request (with some additional charge of course). Don’t expect for comfort, serene or aircon resto....what so ever it’s just a market, but it’s ok for me as long as I can get cheap and nice palembang traditional cuisine here (you also can find tekwan, model, mie celor, rujak mie, es kacang merah, kerupuk kemplang here).... Never sorry to trySee more..

Kuala tungkal merupakan ibukota Tanjung Jabung Barat. Letaknya di pesisir timur Jambi membuat kota ini memiliki peran strategis. Kota ini dahulu pernah menjadi pelabuhan besar yang menjadi jalur perdagangan ke Singapura, Malaysia atau India. Selain itu kota ini memiliki hidangan khas laut yang luar biasa. Pada medio bulan mei lalu saya berkesempatan mengunjungi kota kuala tungkal. Tak lupa saya sempatkan menikmati hidangan laut kota ini di RM Rindang Misno. Salah satu hidangan unik di rumah makan ini adalah udang ketak. Makanan yang satu ini sangat jarang ditemui di tempat lain. Udang ini memiliki cangkang yang keras namun dagingnya lembut dan gurih. Biasanya udang ini dimasak asam manis atau digoreng biasa. Satu buah udang ketak di banderol Rp 30000 namun demikian harganya sesuai dengan rasanya yang membuat orang ketagihan ingin kembali mencobanya.See more..
4.5Pondok Tinggi Grand Mosque(2 reviews) - A Nineteenth-Century Treasure Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
This mosque, dating from 1874, is a wonderful timber construction, intricately carved in a traditional Sumatran style. Raised on dozen of timber pillars to a height of 30 metres, it is both grand and delicate. It is worth checking out the tiny, floral motifs that are carved around the sides. It is one of the finest wooden mosques you are likely to find anywhere on the island, displaying woodcarving skills that have probably been lost forever. Westerners will be shown most of the mosque outside prayer times if they come with a guide. Since 2008, the mosque has been adopted as the icon of Sungai Penuh, which ensures its conservation into the future.See more..
