| Banjarmasin,
the capital city, is the center of trade and tourism. It lies
at the delta of the Barito river. The city is intertwined
by numerous rivers of various sizes and lengths. The major
rivers are Martapura and Nagara.
The
numerous rivers made the city get its nickname River City
local people build traditional floating houses along the rivers
and these houses are called "lanting", facing the
rivers, which are made of wood or bamboo. Rivers have been
very important for business and economic activities. This
is one reason why there are floating markets everywhere.
Making
trips along the mighty Barito and Martapura rivers by "klotok
boat or river bus", will give a unique experience. For
longer trips one can hire speedboat. Banjarmasin has developed
into an industrial and touristic city. There are star hotels
