South Lampung

South Lampung extends over 2,109 square kilometers across southern Sumatra, featuring coastal areas along the Sunda Strait and agricultural plains near Bandar Lampung.

The territory formed part of the Srivijaya empire until the 11th century, later becoming influenced by the Banten Sultanate during the 16th century spread of Islam.

The region contains traces of Hindu and Buddhist heritage through archaeological remains discovered at multiple sites including Palas, Talangpadang, and Mount Besar.

The Bakauheni Port in South Lampung functions as the main transportation hub connecting the islands of Sumatra and Java through the Sunda Strait.

The district of Natar exhibits the highest population density within South Lampung, showing continuous growth through migration from other Indonesian regions.
