Banyuasin

Banyuasin extends over 14,265 square kilometers of diverse terrain, encompassing lowlands, rivers, and agricultural areas along the eastern coast of South Sumatra.

The establishment of Banyuasin occurred on April 10, 2002, when authorities separated this territory from the larger Musi Banyuasin Regency to improve regional administration.

The population of Banyuasin includes multiple ethnic communities, such as Javanese, Musi, and Palembang groups, who maintain their traditions through local events.

Pangkalan Balai functions as the administrative center of Banyuasin, providing governmental services and coordination for the twenty-one districts within the regency.

The region contains a network of waterways, with the namesake Banyuasin River flowing through territories that support fishing activities and transportation routes.
