Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra, is one of Indonesia's oldest cities, with a history dating back to the powerful Srivijaya Empire. The city straddles the Musi River, Southeast Asia's longest river.

The city's most notable landmark is the Ampera Bridge, spanning the Musi River. Palembang is famous for its unique food culture, particularly pempek (fish cakes), and hosted several events during the 2018 Asian Games.
