PUlo Kemaro
Palembang which is famous with the Musi River gives recreation atmosphere by water tour. One of the tours at Musi River that is very interesting is Pulo Kemaro. The island is located in the eastside of Palembang city and it is around five kilometer in downstream from Ampera Bridge, and the area is approximately 24 hectare. In Indonesian, Pulo means pulau and Kemaro means kemarau, being called such that because this island is never being flooded by water although the water volume of Musi River is increasing.
Pulo Kemaro has a legend about story loves between a princess of Palembang kingdom who name Siti Fatimah with a prince of china name Tan Bun Ann. the story is begun when tan bun Ann applied siti Fatimah to marry him. Siti Fatimah’s father, a king of sriwijaya would be accepted him as his son in law if he could prepare nine gold full porcelains. Tan bun Ann family are able fulfill for that condition, so they prepared them. Tan bun Ann family was afraid if pirates would know the news, so without tan bun Ann consideration, the family put vegetables above gold in those porcelains. When it arrived at sriwijaya, what surprised Tan Bun Ann was and angry when he saw inside of porcelains was vegetables. Without checking it deeper first, tan bun Ann threw them to Musi River. When they were thrown, there was one broken before come in the river, and it showed what was inside of the porcelain.
When tan bun Ann saw the gold, he regretted throwing the porcelains and plunged himself to Musi river to get the porcelains back. But the prince never appeared from Musi River. Looking one whom siti Fatimah was loved did not appear from the river, finally she is very sad and desperate, and then she decided to jump into river to look for the prince while said "if there is soil outcrop at this river edge, so it is my grave!” It is all about how Pulo Kemaro comes from. Now day we can find a temple that is a devout place for Chinese breed, and the inside is siti Fatimah’s grave, which its shaped is mound and there are two mound rather little that are commander and lady-in-waiting of Siti Fatimah.
The building that trusted as siti Fatimah’s grave is in the same place into one complex with Chinese temple Hok Tjing Rio where the inside also can be found god earth (Hock Tek Cin Sin), the god of Buddhist.
In Pulo Kemaro we can enjoy an religious tour. It is Cap Go Me Celebration. In that celebration, thousands of Chinese that is from various city or even from other country come to pulo kemaro to pray or visit a sacred. This celebration goes on until 2-3 day. Pulo Kemaro is agreed as the centre of celebration activities Cap Go Meh rather than amount of temple and another Buddhist monastery at Palembang, because according to the information, the dream of them that pray at Hok Tjing Rio temple will come true.
At Siti Fatimah’s cemetery, the visitors also can see how far their fortune in the future. By using long wood is in size two human hands long. The long wood is as media to see how lucky we are. If two hands are flung out longer than the limit marked by bracelet rubber in the wood from first hand distance measurement, so the visitors will have better fortune at the future. Otherwise, it signs the contrary. It is true or not, there is no one that is able to ascertain it. From the legend of Siti Fatimah and Tan Bun An, Pulo Kemaro often is sounded as place to ask marriage partner. It is strengthened with the existence of several explanations about people who got married after visited Pulo Kemaro.
Hok Tjing Rio temple which is broadly 3,5 hectare is also being one of the Chinese presences in Palembang history development. The temple architecture also describes the special building of china philosophy, as found at various temples at other. Entire buildings colored red dominant with golden yellow color addition. The building consists of verandah in the edge of Musi River, two gold money incinerator towers, principal space, hind space, and Siti Fatimah and Tan Bun An holy cemetery space. Entering Pulo Kemaro really show us with mystical nuance.
It can be concluded that Pulo Kemaro is one of the existence proof of two confidence and belief elements stayed together. Side by side in two confidences in one complex at Pulo Kemaro proves that the unity between Buddhist and Muslim brings compatibility in life, because confidence and belief are absolute the connection between human and the god and it is human right that must be respected. Acculturation is necessary kept to embedded tolerance spirit and cooperation for new generation.

Palembang is a capital city of South Sumatera, a province in Indonesian. It is a place that can be purpose of people who want to look for places for their vacation. Palembang is also known as “Pempek City”, pempek is the name of the most favorite and famous food there. It is made from sago which mixes with the fish meat. And it is eaten using sauce.
The name of Palembang becomes familiar to people in Indonesian recently. Because people begin to find something beautiful in Palembang, there are a lot of beautiful places that can be visited to spend their vacation. Besides, delicious food and beautiful culture can be found there. It is why the writer tells here “Palembang Treasure”, because Palembang is as gold which has just been found.
When you come to Palembang, beautiful thing that you will find firstly is the biggest bridge which is built on Musi River, the longest and the biggest river in Palembang. It is known as “Jembatan AMPERA” or AMPERA BRIDGE. AMPERA stands for “Amanat Penderitaan Rakyat”. The name of the bridge was taken from the sacrifice of the people in Palembang which were died on fighting to defend Palembang from Japanese Colonialism.
AMPERA was built in 1962. It is 1.117 meter long, 22 meter wide and 11.5 meter height from water surface, meanwhile the towers of the bridge are 63 meter height and the space between them is 75 meter. It has weight 944 ton.
The first name of this bridge is “jembatan bung karno”. According to historian Djohan hanafiah, the name is given as the respectful to first president of Indonesian, sukarno. At the time, he struggled for Palembang people’s willing to have a bridge on musi river. And the entire fund for building it was taken from japan. In 1965, in the launching of this bridge, name of jembatan bung karno was used. But in 1966 when the movement of anti-sukarno happened, jembatan bung karno was changed “jembatan ampera” (amanat penderitaan rakyat).
Firstly, the middle part of ampera was able to lift, in order to make a big ship able to pass under the bridge. without lifting, a ship which was able to pass under it should be less than 9 meter height. Since 1970, ampera had not allowed to lift any more because each lifting spent 30 minutes, it considered disturbing the traffic on it and another reason is there was not big ship pass under it.
Until now ampera has gotten four renovations to make it able to stand for long time. It becomes our job as Palembang people to keep it.

At Siti Fatimah’s cemetery, the visitors also can see how far their fortune in the future. By using long wood is in size two human hands long. The long wood is as media to see how lucky we are.

It is known as “Jembatan AMPERA” or AMPERA BRIDGE. AMPERA stands for “Amanat Penderitaan Rakyat”. The name of the bridge was taken from the sacrifice of the people in Palembang which were died on fighting to defend Palembang from Japanese Colonialism.
AMPERA was built in 1962. It is 1.117 meter long, 22 meter wide and 11.5 meter height from water surface, meanwhile the towers of the bridge are 63 meter height and the space between them is 75 meter. It has weight 944 ton.
The first name of this bridge is “jembatan bung karno”. According to historian Djohan hanafiah, the name is given as the respectful to first president of Indonesian, sukarno. At the time, he struggled for Palembang people’s willing to have a bridge on musi river. And the entire fund for building it was taken from japan. In 1965, in the launching of this bridge, name of jembatan bung karno was used. But in 1966 when the movement of anti-sukarno happened, jembatan bung karno was changed “jembatan ampera” (amanat penderitaan rakyat).
Firstly, the middle part of ampera was able to lift, in order to make a big ship able to pass under the bridge. without lifting, a ship which was able to pass under it should be less than 9 meter height. Since 1970, ampera had not allowed to lift any more because each lifting spent 30 minutes, it considered disturbing the traffic on it and another reason is there was not big ship pass under it.
Until now ampera has gotten four renovations to make it able to stand for long time. It becomes our job as Palembang people to keep it.
