Description
Banjarmasin is the capital city of South Kalimantan province, officially established in 1526. The unique architectural heritage and the natural splendor of colorful floating markets have made this region a charming riverfront getaway. Its location near the junction of Martapura and Barito rivers made Banjarmasin a strategic trading port throughout the colonial era and earned the city its nickname of "The River City." This region is publicly known as " the land of a thousand rivers.". "The entire land of South Kalimantan is marshy and flat. Many small streams are flowing and emptying into the Barito River. Several reputable floating market locations, such as Lok Baintan and Muara Kuin, are found in Banjarmasin. Both are traditional markets on Jukung (boats) that sell a variety of merchandise, such as the production of agricultural / plantation and not-too-long busy markets, only about three to four hours. To buy fresh fruits and vegetables, you've to leave home at 04.00 AM. You have to get there before everyone arrives.
One of the fabulous characteristics of this river tourism market is "jukung" or "klotok." Jukung is the name of a traditional wooden boat in Banjarmasin. Klotok is a wooden boat, "jukung," modified with a motor engine.
The traditional way of life in South Kalimantan still relies on its waterways and riverfront lifestyle. Exploring this land through its river life extensively introduces its dynamic culture.
This floating market has existed since the days of the Sultanate of Banjar and has been going on for several generations; even some sellers still use the barter system, not needing the money.
The houses of native Banjar people were built along the muddy riverbank. 90 % of the population are Muslims, but we live peacefully, mutually respect other faiths, and are friendly and familiar.
Bahasa Indonesia
Banjarmasin adalah ibu kota provinsi Kalimantan Selatan yang resmi berdiri pada tahun 1526. Warisan arsitektur yang unik dan kemegahan alam pasar terapung berwarna-warni menjadikan kawasan ini sebagai tempat liburan tepi sungai yang menawan. Letaknya yang dekat dengan persimpangan sungai Martapura dan sungai Barito menjadikan Banjarmasin sebagai pelabuhan perdagangan yang strategis sepanjang masa kolonial dan membuat kota ini mendapat julukan “Kota Sungai”. Wilayah ini dikenal masyarakat sebagai “negeri seribu sungai”. “Seluruh tanah Kalimantan Selatan berawa dan datar. Banyak aliran sungai kecil yang mengalir dan bermuara di Sungai Barito. Beberapa lokasi pasar terapung ternama seperti Lok Baintan dan Muara Kuin banyak ditemukan di Banjarmasin. Keduanya merupakan pasar tradisional di Jukung ( perahu) yang menjual berbagai macam dagangan, seperti hasil produksi pertanian/perkebunan dan pasar yang tidak terlalu lama ramai, hanya sekitar tiga sampai empat jam.Untuk membeli buah dan sayur segar, Anda harus berangkat dari rumah pada pukul 04.00 pagi. Anda harus sampai di sana sebelum semua orang datang.
Salah satu karakter yang menarik dari pasar wisata sungai ini adalah “jukung” atau “klotok”. Jukung adalah nama perahu kayu tradisional yang ada di Banjarmasin. Klotok adalah perahu kayu, "jukung", yang dimodifikasi dengan mesin motor.
Cara hidup tradisional di Kalimantan Selatan masih bertumpu pada saluran air dan gaya hidup tepi sungai. Menjelajahi negeri ini melalui kehidupan sungainya secara ekstensif memperkenalkan budaya dinamisnya.
Pasar terapung ini sudah ada sejak zaman Kesultanan Banjar dan berlangsung selama beberapa generasi, bahkan sebagian penjual masih menggunakan sistem barter, tidak membutuhkan uang.
Rumah-rumah penduduk asli Banjar dibangun di sepanjang bantaran sungai yang berlumpur. 90% penduduknya beragama Islam, namun kami hidup damai, saling menghormati agama lain, serta ramah dan akrab.
