 Jambi
province
is
located
on
the
east
coast
of
Central
Sumatra
faces
to
Malaka
Straits
sharing
borders
with
four
other
provinces
in
Sumatra
and
has
long
a
melting
pot
for
different
ethnic
groups.
The
earliest
inhabitants
were
the
Kubus,
who
were
among
the
first
wave
of
Malays
to
migrate
to
Sumatra.
The
ancient
kingdom
of
Melayu
developed
and
grew
in
Jambi
and
maintained
relations
with
the
mighty
kingdoms
of
Sriwijaya,
Majapahit
and
Singasari,
but
was
eventually
attacked
and
annexed
by
Sriwijaya
in
the
middle
of
the
17th
century.
Encompassing
an
area
of
53,435
sq
km,
almost
60%
of
which
is
forest,
the
province
is
home
to a
large
variety
of
fauna
and
floraand
and
an
exhilarating
place
for
active
and
adventurous

One
of
the
greatest
kingdoms
in
Indonesia
history,
the
Buddhist
Empire
of
Sriwijaya,
prospered
and
grew
along
the
Musi
River
bank
in
Shouth
Sumatra
over
a
thousand
years
ago.
Located
in
the
southern-most
rim
of
the
Shout
China
Sea,
close
to
one
of
the
world's
busiest
shipping
lanes
linking
the
Far
East
With
Europe,
the
region's
historical
background
is
rich
and
colorful. |

Sriwijaya
Kingdom
practiced
a
bustling
and
lucrative
trade
with
ancient
China
its
era
of
powerful
dynasties
and
in
672,the
Chinese
scholar
Tsing
recorded
that
a
thousand
monks
and
scholars
could
be
seen
translating
and
studying
Sanskrit
in
what
is
now
become
a
regional
capital
of
Palembang.
However,
few
relics
of
this
memorable
era
remain.
Streching
from
the
foothills
of
the
mighty
Bukit
Barisan
mountain
range
in
the
West
Sumatra
to
Bangka
and
Belitung
Island
in
the
East,
South
Sumatra
province
is
relatively
flat
but
very
fertile,
with
numerous
rivers
cutting
across
the
landscape
and
meandering
their
way
to
the
sea.
Coffee
and
tea
are
grown
in
plantations
in
various
parts
of
the
province
but
the
area's
enormous
wealth
comes
from
oil,
natural
gas,
coal,
tin
and
quartz. |

Palembang
is
still
the
gateway
to
the
province,
and
together
with
Pangkal
Pinang
on
Bangka
Island
and
Tanjung
Pandan
on
Belitung,
provides
the
region
with
three
major
airports.
All
three
cities
have
direct
connections
with
Medan,
Batam,
Padang
and
Jakarta
and
the
future
will
see
the
introduction
of
flights
to
Singapore.
Air-conditioned
buses
from
north
and
west
points
of
Palembang
are
also
regulary
available,
as
well
