Samarinda, Capital city of East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Samarinda extends along the Mahakam River banks, covering 718 square kilometers with dense residential areas and commercial districts intermingled with green spaces.
The settlement originated from Bugis settlers who constructed houses on rafts, with the name Samarenda meaning equal low to represent social balance among inhabitants.
The population reflects Indonesian diversity through the presence of Dayak, Bugis, and Javanese communities, each maintaining their traditions and celebrations throughout the year.
The city infrastructure includes three main bus terminals, river transport facilities, and the Samarinda International Airport, which handles over one million passengers annually.
The Samarinda Harbor ranks as East Kalimantan's most active passenger port, processing more than 271,000 container units in a single year.
