Top:/Destinations/Jambi/History

Jambi is the capital of the province and a river port, situated in the central region of Sumatra on the river Batanghari, which flows east into the Berhala Straits.

Jambi is on the busy sea route between China and India, and the region played a major role in early maritime trade.

The Tang Annals record that as early as the 7th century and 9th century AD, Jambi sent ambassadors to the court of the Chinese emperor. These earliest records of Jambi show that it was the original capital of Melayu ( Malaya Kingdom ). The ancient Hindu-Buddhist Kingdom of Sriwijaya also had its capital in Jambi at that time.
