Jambi

Jambi lies along the Batanghari River, where lowland Sumatran plains extend beside Sumatra’s longest river. As the capital of Jambi province, it is a working river city whose trade and daily life have long been connected to waterways and the island’s interior. The Muaro Jambi Archaeological Site, a wide complex of brick Buddhist structures on the Batanghari, preserves traces of religious and scholarly activity linked to the Srivijaya and Malayu periods. Its temples and earthen mounds add a much older layer to the region beyond the modern city streets.
